Play It Again, Sam. Very funny comedy with Woody Allen & Diane Keaton in it.

not actually neglected/forgotten but the Chilean film "No" is certainly recommended
(as is the Irish feature-length documentary "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised") |

"Once" from 2006 which is billed as a modern day musical (and I think was made by the Irish Film Board). BTW thanks to whoever it was on Chit Chat that first mentioned this gem such a long time ago. i recommended that one to Tommy Toes and others a while back. fantastic film. |

Murder By Decree - Plummer, Mason ; a good Holmes/Ripper yarn.
The Torture Chamber Of Dr Sadism - Lex Barker, a smashing German vampire offering with Herr Christopher Lee supporting. |

Hi Dunlaying…. it's going back a few pages in the thread but "Un Honnete Commercant"… does your copy have English subtitles perchance?
regards etc |
|
By:
No Sir , I recorded it from Arte or TV5 Monde. I thought there was a subtitled version for sale on Amazon UK.
|
|
By:
Thank you. I've tried to establish whether there are English subtitles on the DVD, but my various enquiries have remained unanswered.
DVDs of French movies produced by French companies very often don't have the subtitles, and I was caught once before. |

A classic example of cranking up tension till its unbearable,is the 1963 film THE BEDFORD INCIDENT.Stars Richard Widmark,Sidney Potier.How about the incredible arty,director Michael Mann's, THE KEEP.It has a terrific soundtrack by Tangerine Dream.
For Science Fiction,INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS,the 1953 version. Also the best film to capture a nightmare on film.filmed in a process that gave everything a strange coloured hue,and accompanied by possibly the most eerie soundtrack ever.The film INVADERS FROM MARS. |

By:
Michael Mann's Last of the Mohician's has some excellent action scenes and the shoot out scene in Heat is the best ever.

The Siege Of Pinchgut. Aldo Ray and Heather Sears.
Prisoners on way to serve a long sentence escape and take refuge on a small island in Sydney harbour, take a family hostage, and threaten to detonate an ammunition ship in the harbour firing at it with a big naval gun on the island. Old British black and white film but a landmark film because it was the last film ever produced at Ealing Studios. |

Crossroad , a fantasy based on the meeting of Robert Johnson and The Devil. (In fact Tommy Johnson met the Devil at the crossroad and Bob nicked the story.) Steve Vai turns up in it .

I'm in the the "loved" corner Poppydog, I've seen it more times than I can remember - I usually go to youtube & Tommy full movie to watch it. (Ann-Margret

Tiré A Part - Terence Stamp, Frank Finlay , Hannah Gordon, English version called Limited Edition.
A fine film and unusual. While searching for the English title I came across another film of his that has cult status, The Hit. That is worth watching too. |

I think it was Yugoslavian - late 70s? Episodic. Started with an Alice-in-Wonderland sequence, there was a Napoleonic Wars sequence with villagers being cut down by cuirassiers - bit of rapo with the baker's wife/daughter and lots of flouncy stuff. Near the end there was a WW2 Eastern Front partisan/Nazi sequence with everyone being shot at the end after rumpy-pumpy. It was entertaining and I miss it. Thought it may have been Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders - what a mistake, don't go near that.
Any thoughts? |

One of my ex-mothers-in-law has a couple of pages on IMDB. I'd ask her, but she's dead.
There's an outside chance it may have been Czech - but they're not so keen on partisan slaughter. I watched it on Oxford Street or one of the streets off Oxford Street. |

Yes have seen Valerie - lovely girl amongst such dark material
 and Celine and Julie go boating as well. |
|
By:
No, Valerie was really boring and not much happened. Tell me more about Celine and Julie.

Man, you was so heavy with the DISRESPEC on that other thread...so glad we done shifted...

Why weren't you paying attention then? There was sod-all going on in the late-70s. Asleep on the job again?
|
|
By:
Eh...what can I say? A nice looking girl follows another nice looking girl and they become fiends and go boating. There is too much "magic" in it for my liking, and it is basically a tasteful French reworking of SEDMIKRASKY / DAISIES. It lasts for about 3 hours or something.
