cheers Mikael and spelling. I haven't seen The Warriors in a long time. Just remembered enjoying it when I was a kid.
So it has been neglected here, and forgotten till you scour through your mind's database, and remember it. Maybe it won't be as good as before, but I love the script. Stay tuned boppers, can you dig it etc.. |

20 May 15 21:24 The Krays Scum The Firm , plenty of gratuitous violence, just the job for the grandchildren. Had our nephew and nieces up here a few years ago for a weekend. Mrs SAGC went shopping with her sister. They were bored after two hours so I phoned and asked her if they could watch a certain film. She said 'Yes, they can watch that, we'll be home soon.' Mrs SAGC and her sister came in to see the kids watching a scene of a man and a woman who had been crucified on a wall. I was upstairs watching some racing.  She wasn't happy, but she said they could watch it. It appears she got it mixed up with something else. |

No Country For Old Men is on Film4 at 1.20 a.m. It took a second viewing for me to really get it but I'll give it a very solid 8/10 with the thumb which is a high score for me.

Die Fremde Frau a tv film with Corinna Halfouch and Ulrich Tuker. A cracking 90 minute suspense story.
Missing - Jack Lemmon Amen - Ulrich Tuker both Costa-Gavras films. |

Guinness2dear, play nicely please. I have already conceded that the original True Grit was in a different class to the remake. My favourite filum of all time is There Will Be Blood. |

The Servant - 1963 Dirk Bogarde.
I remember seeing this creepy psychological drama when I was ABOUT 16 a few years after its release,at my local fleapit. Brilliant film which I've only noticed once on TV. |

Vanilla Sky. Got absolutely smashed by critics and many hated it. I did too when I watched it the first time as a 21 year old when it came out. Re-watched recently, now I think it's brilliant. Amazing how your perspective changes on everything as you age.

I've made many a mention of this film previously - and you have to be of a certain...shall we say...'mentality' to appreciate its greatness - but W.C.Fields 1934 film 'It's A Gift' is one of my favourite films of all time.
Here's the synopsis from IMDb: "The owner of a general store (Harold Bisonette) is hounded by his status-anxious wife ("That's 'Bee-soh-nay'" and "I have no maid you know"). To get some sleep he goes out on the porch where he is tormented by a little boy from the floor above (Baby Dunk) and an insurance salesman down below ("LaFong. Capital L, small a..."). He uses an inheritance to buy an orange ranch through the mail, then drives off with his family for California. The orange grove consists of a withered tree, the ranch house is but a shack, and the car falls to pieces. But a racetrack operator wants the land, so all ends happily." And here is a comment by a 'user reviewer': W.C. Fields as everyman seeking his dreams. 12 July 2000 | by georgeeliot (NYC) – See all my reviews "As close to a perfect film as have ever been made. Running a fat free 62 minutes, not a second is wasted. Several of the ten minute scenes were released by Castle films as mini-masterpieces. Each of them can stand alone but are greater as part of the whole. W.C. Fields wrote one of his funniest, and easily most sympathetic role as the loving husband and father who dreams of escaping his life as a Eastern shopkeeper and traveling to sunny California where he can own an orange grove. He wrote wonderful supporting roles including the blind man, Mr. Muckle, and the irritating man looking for Carl LaFong. He stoicly suffers the barbs of his wife, the indifference of his children, the incompetence of his hired help and the wrath of his customers. When he reaches California and when his dreams appeared dashed, he triumphs at last. The everyman rewarded after suffering the slings and errors of outrageous fortune. It belongs with Homer, with Shakespeare, with Mark Twain. It is perfection." |

..agree with HM re The Thin Red Line..
..plus the "Three Colours" trilogy.... ...Nikita (original French version)... |

Spoorloss is very good, aka the vanishing over here. I wont spoil the ending.
|
|
By:
^^^ Forget the Hollywood remake, (The Vanishing), Spoorloos is the only film that, 20-odd years after watching it, still freaks me out. Excellent.
|
|
By:
If you like the colour trilogy you are likely to appreciate "La Double Vie De Veronique". A mysterious work of art and the puppets are something else(man).

Cul De Sac , Roman Polanski late 60s.
Respiro , an Italian film that gets better with every viewing. The music is good, what there is of it. One reviewer said that he did not care much for the alto sax playing. Hardly surprising since it was a bass clarinet. |

By:
Tommy Toes, you're right, It's A Gift is a truly great film.
Build my gallows high. Key Lago. Boom Town. Serpico. Ronin. All worth a watch. |
