That balloon has more substance than Trump... And maybe more of a long-term future? Congratulations to all American chums here on retaining your health care this evening - have an exceedingly happy weekend secure in that knowledge! :emoji_dancers::emoji_dancers::emoji_dancers:

Discovering these mini-gems about a year ago has given me so many giggles and saved me significant dosh at the box office - given that I love what they do (however wickedly) to films I know and cherish, I tend to take their opinions on board about things of which I am essentially clueless. What...

Love it - but not sure which I've seen - whatever turns up on TV I suppose. What would you say the big differences are?

There are more armed police in Britain than ever before, so I think the balance is about right. Still freaks me out to see police with guns though. hope it worries the bad guys even more!

I do feel sorry for blameless people in random Irish villages who always seem to have evicted some distance ancestor of American presidents and get Visited to woo the Irish American vote - only this time Trump blights Scotland with his ancestry instead and they've made it clear they can't stand...

Yes, the way you tell it. Not sure where you are in the world but when (I'm sure it won't be "if") they remake it, it should be under contemporary English law - before the first sod is turned for development you have to bring in the field archaeologists for a survey - happens all the time in the...

@Alex Vojacek Whereas Close Encounters leaves me quite mellow, except for the aberrant mashed potato fixation. That's just WRONG.

A Matter of Life and Death is just so lovable and fascinating you sort of forget how weird it really is for its time.

Laugh. Myself. Silly. Every. Time. A Blue Peter badge holder myself, I have HUGE respect to the lad whose monster design won the competition to be the big bad here. Stellar cast: Peter Kay, Shirley Henderson and Marc Warren as guests stars - Hollywood should be so lucky. L.I.N.D.A rocks...

Mixed emotions - I've just been commenting on the Poltergeist thread and it's odd. This one - a kids' film dammit - I find more disturbing. Not that it's an English/ American thing: although when I open a wardrobe door I'd rather find Narnia than a little outer space dude - it's that one scene...

Hi Alpha, good question. Engage your deepest cynicism about rogue operatives in the construction trade - think churlish, money-grubbing cover up. They KNEW and pretended they'd found nothing! Thus they hacked off the ancient spirits (who, oddly knew how TVs worked but we'll let that one go)...

Wow! Never even come across it before but the cast looks solid. Possibly worth ferreting out when I'm done with Emerald City (which has been growing on me strangely for reasons I can't yet fully fathom). I think it was @Janine The Barefoot said she'd found it lacking... despite that excellent...

That Cyril, eh? Call himself a theologian? Not exactly useful in the specifics of well-finished handicrafts - I mean, what sort of an attachment - I could be thinking in terms of a well-rinsed Mateus Rose bottle, suitable for conversion to a highly tasteful lamp, but he could be thinking sex...

The Lion in Winter and not just because we're giving honourable mentions to Antony Hopkins. Is there a split-second of wasted screen time from beginning to end? And every time I watch it it gets funnier, and cleverer, and sadder. Doc, DOC!!!! I went back up to give you a like and add how much I...

Oh you fluffy young things - "classics" forsooth! Tom and Jerry, Yogi Bear, Flintstones and Top Cat were always there... and a bit later Scooby Doo and Whacky Races. But for proper Sixties cred, there was Fireball XL5 before even Thunderbirds - but you may try to argue you meant just 2D...

That's amazing presumably old film, modern colourisation? I've seen Nosferatu and Metropolis in hand-tinted versions, but they're state of the art for 1920s and still not as subtle as this one. Sigh - never been to Berlin - maybe one day...

Nope - I'm a soggy mess as soon as they're airborne... and please don't start me on the Snowdog - that's one overwhelming double bill. But then again, there's Fungus the Bogeyman - could take Shrek with one warty arm tied behind his back with ropey snot.
