For a bit of social interaction, a bunch of us started watching films simultaneously on Sunday nights, for the shared experience and quite a lot of silly banter via WhatsApp (and, later, Signal).
We have watched:
| Date | Film | Notes |
| 27th December 2020 | Die Hard | |
| 3rd January | Die Hard 2 | |
| 10th January | Die Hard 3 | |
| 17th January | Goldfinger | |
| 24th January | The Spy Who Loved Me | |
| 31st January | For Your Eyes Only | Better than I remembered, although a circuitous plot given basic procedural police work would have found the wreck’s location shortly after the murder at the start. |
| 7th February | Diamonds Are Forever | Jesus wept, this hasn’t aged well. Just a bad film, and “exotic” locations are: a) Las Vegas and b) an oil rig. |
| 14th February | The Living Daylights | |
| 21st February | Goldeneye | |
| 28th February | Tomorrow Never Dies | |
| 7th March | Casino Royale | |
| 14th March | The Fifth Element | |
| 21st March | Leon | Most of us streamed the “director’s cut” which turns out to be much longer, packed with much more uncomfortable love interest between Reno and Portman. I recall this being vaguely hinted at in the original, rather than definitely actualised. |
| 28th March | The Matrix | |
| 11th April | Fight Club | On rewatch, I stake the claim this film (presumably the book prior, although I haven’t read it) coined the term “snowflake” in the way we know it widely today. |
| 18th April | Snatch | |
| 25th April | Ocean’s Eleven | |
| 2nd May | The Bourne Identity | This was going to be Lucky Number Slevin, but that doesn’t seem to be available via any streaming service in UK |
| 9th May | Gone in 60 Seconds | |
| 16th May | Taken | |
| 23rd May | The Bourne Supremacy | |
| 30th May | The Bourne Ultimatum | |
| 6th June | The Gentlemen |
There were plans for Team America: World Police and also suggestions of Grosse Pointe Blank and The Thomas Crown Affair…but Euros (postponed from 2020) and the easing of lockdown meant no futher Ciné Lockdowns materialised.
I did chance my arm at a group viewing of Split Second in November 2022, but it ended up being a solo caper.
