Saw EDGE OF ETERNITY last week, starring Cornel Wilde. Never even heard of this until last week. Cracking landscapes centred around the desert and Grand Canyon. Kinda unique film IMO, directed by Don Siegel...loved this film.

I wasn't.
A good old French classic is "Les Diaboliques", Simone Signoret, Vera Clouzot et Paul Meurrisse. Colombo, the yank detective was clearly stolen from the character played by Charles Vanel. |

The day the earth caught fire.
Had a sneak preview of that and it isn't the film I was thinking about. I was sure that was the name of it. Involved a submarine and the sky being aflame. Anybody know the film I'm thinking of. |
|
By:
"Comet", perhaps? But the other film was a good one.
|
|
By:
No it had a name similar to that and was from the 60s.
|
|
By:
I was thinking of "Meteor" with Sean Connery.
|
|
By:
The title definitely had Fire in it.
I saw it in the cinema. |
|
By:
More likely to be "On The Beach" based on the Nevile Shute novel.
In a similar vein "Failsafe" , Henry Fonda. |

A few British films from the 1960s and 1970s that never seem to turn up on TV anymore.
"Paranoiac" (1963) - a Hammer thriller/shocker based on the great Josephine Tey's novel 'Brat Farrar", starring Oliver Reed "I Start Counting" (1970) - a thriller that surely would have a loyal audience of Chit Chatters, as it features amongst other things Jenny Agutter in school uniform. "Unman, Wittering and Zigo" (1971) - a thriller starring David Hemmings, and directed by John "Long Good Friday' Mackenzie. |

The Spy who came in from the Cold, excellent black and white cold war film.

|
By:
"Night Of The Generals" ,Peter O'Toole, Donald Pleasance
"The Birdman Of Alcatraz" , Burt Lancaster Some from the Far East; Memories Of Murder The President's Last Bang A True Mob Story French; Le Boucher , Stephane Audran and Jean Yann Tchao Pantin, Coluche and Richard Anconina Lune Froide, P. Bouchitey Le Corbeau, b/w classic from the 40s |

the parallax view starring Warren Beatty, probably the best conspiracy/govt cover up film ever made

By:
"Un honnete commercant" ,Belgian £1.29 Amazon! A cracker.
"Ma Vie En Rose", I think it is Belgian and is Almodovaresque. Great colours. "Novo" , erotic, romantic , funny with a great soundtrack. |
|
By:
A modern Polish masterpiece is "Katyn". WWII ,based on fact and available from Amazon with subtitles. Best watched cold as the reviews will take the edge off of it.
