Neither neglected not forgotten, just a heads up that the masterpiece that is "Unforgiven" is on Channel 5 tonight @ 11.00pm tonight.

"The Unforgiven" starring Burt Lancaster is a brilliant Western from the 60s if you haven`t seen it.

Barnaby And Me 1976
A man sets his sights on a very lovely lady and her daughter, who falls for his madcap antics, pressures her mother to love him. Also starring in this film is Barnaby, an endearing koala bear whose unprecedented screen antics will charm every member of the family. Usually this film use to be put up on the same ITV afternoon scheduling as 'Charlie Chan and the Curse of the Dragon Queen' and the early bond films. I have fond memories of this...It was my introduction to Sid Caesar even before I ever saw "Its a mad mad mad world".... However after revisiting this film on Youtube, as a grown up, I can safely say that this is a Childs version of the movie Scarface (1983). |

By:
A Charles Grodin Classic from the early 70's The Heartbreak Kid which had a shocking 2007 remake is well worth viewing.

By:
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad world from 1963.
Comedy gold. |

Bronco Bullfrog.
Set in Stratford east London. The full film is on youtube. WALOFS |

has anyone seen The Last Remake of Beau Geste? Was listening to a docu on the radio about Feldman and this was being discussed at some length. Never heard of it before.

Film about the space programme, from the end of WW2 to the early space flights.."The Right Stuff". Made I think in the 80s and few people seem to have seen it, one of the greatest films of all.

Now, at long last, Bronco Bullfrog is making its return. It has been unearthed and restored and opens (or reopens) in cinemas next week. To watch it now is to catch a glimpse of an alternative strain of British cinema, and to witness the raw "piss-taking" promise of a crop of actors who flourished for a moment and then were gone. "Their style of acting was Joan's style of acting," says Platts-Mills sadly. "There's no place for that in the RSC. And Sir Peter Hall doesn't like it either, the koont."

By:
At one time the great Claude Lelouch's films seemed to be all over the Beeb, sadly nowadays nowhere to be seen.
No serious film fan's collection is surely complete without these exemplary efforts (amongst others) : "La Vie, L'Amour, La Mort" "La Bonne Annee" "Les Uns Et les Autres" "Edith et Marcel" "Hommes, Femmes, Mode d'Emploi" |

"The Spy who came in from the Cold, excellent black and white cold war film. Richard Burton is terrific maybe his best ever performance and best film." Very much a film of it's time. It was very good even though the story was a bit hard to follow. Always remember the opening scene at the Checkpoint. And in the 1960's the idea most people had of a spy was James Bond, but this film is the opposite of Bond and probably more about what it was like being a spy. Slow moving but interesting film, watched it again recently on DVD. |

Some of the Lelouch are good.
The Jacket Session 7 Escape From New York....I know it is rubbish but I like it. Long Weekend Razorback One has to have some roughage. |

The Jacket is a good shout, watched it a few times
Another one is Checkpoint, set in the world of motor racing - a sh1t story but a visual feast if you love 1950s Aston Martins and Jaguars  |

By:
The Rainbow Jacket is very good about a young lad wanting to become a jockey and is mentored by a veteran banned for taking bribes, played by Bill Owen (aka Compo). Ealing classic which inspired Willie Carson, who had never been near a horse let alone sat on one, to become a jockey.
