Week 18

Metals

This week sees another fantastic suggestion from one of our regualr challengers, Les Chappell. They suggested watching a movie with a metal theme.

What exactly is a metal theme? A movie with either the word "metal" in the title or a type of metal in the title for example gold (Goldfinger), silver (Under the Silver lake) or Bronze (The Bronze).

There are also movies starring actors that have a metal in their name, such as GOLDie Hawn or Ron SILVER.

You can also watch a movie with a metal being a prominent theme, for example the T-1000 in Terminator 2 is made of liqui metal, in The Full Monty a bunch of former steelworkers recently laid off take up a new hobby, or Edgar Wright's Hot Fuzz which is about a copper!

Suggestions

These movies are mentioned in the video as potential suggestions for the challenge.

Blue Steel Goldfinger Hot Fuzz Mercury Rising Platinum Blonde Pushing Tin Real Steel Tetsuo: The Iron Man The Brass Teapot The Bronze The Full Monty The Golden Compass The Man in the Iron Mask The Man with the Golden Gun The Personal History of David Copperfield Titane Under the Silver Lake
