    Fun A St. Patrick's Day Thread

    Not a drop of Jamesons in the house to make it offical, but I could certainly watch some Father Ted later on, you?

    Review Oldest Footage of London Ever (1917)

    @duzit Totally right - I think its fantastic. The camera work in matching up the modern shots is clearly a labour of much love and, given modern traffic, verging on suicidal at times, and even the music is very thoughtfully chosen. Thanks from me too Doc, it's a gem of a find! Of course I...

    Fun The Last Movie That You Watched?

    You're only supposed to blow the bloody candles out.

    Fun The Paranormal

    You'll be fine - they played some of it one time on QI and everyone on the show seems to be in one piece, as am I. Maybe have a very funny suicide song on standby as an antidote: "Don't Jump off the Roof Dad" would probably do the trick nicely - if they could play that on Junior Choice, its...

    Review All Things KEN RUSSELL!

    Totally agree - put me off baked beans for a while, though, but worth it for the music. The Lair of the White Worm leaves "screwed up" fading to a tiny dot in the rear view mirror - possibly one of the most bonkers film I have ever seen.

    Holy. Crap. I'll have the veal. Sauce on the side.

    Review The Fly (1986)

    Big YES to all you say - songs might be the clue to what I'm figuring out here - a classic song: there are performers who can interpret and remake traditional versions, but maybe there are specific performances you can't or shouldn't attempt to mimic. This might be coming from a very English...

    I'm boggling so much at the overlap of films I'd say are my all time greats + stuff I've never heard of, in the same lists> Thank you Elanor, for starting this thread. My list - for today, maybe not tomorrow though: Mellow chuckles: Sense and Sensiblilty, Genevieve, Four Weddings Belly laughs...

    Review Life of Brian (1979)

    YES! Don't know whether to laugh, cry or pour another glass so near to bedtime... I know - a true bedtime story for all followers of the true Brian: (1) Welsh Methodists were amongst the most appalled by the film and opposed to its release in parts of Wales. (2) Sue Jones-Davies (Judith) went...

    Review Life of Brian (1979)

    Woooo-hooo! Good man yourself! We could play "favourite quote" We could cheerfully sit and snigger, in a cyber-but-together act of Python solidarity... Or I could ask - "Judean People's Front" or "People's Front of Judea"? you potential splitter? Declare yourself, or there will be no wolf...

    Review Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)

    Love it to bits! Give me a wet Saturday afternoon with this, + Harvey + Adam's Rib and I might just laugh and cry myself silly....

    Fun Singer in "Sleuth" [UNSOLVABLE MYSTERY?]

    Glad to offer a fall back at least. To think that that was a film I simply sat back and enjoyed hugely, without thinking how much an unsolved niggle could provoke such a determined (and hopefully soluble) puzzle. Happy hunting!

    Review Watership Down (1978)

    Bad of us, yes. ALTHOUGH: my grandma's rabbit stew put me off rabbit for 30 years - she was very much an on-the-fractured-splintery-bone stew-maker of a gran. You couldn't eat the casserole that was trying to chew you back. AND I've seen some mind-boggling design work on the original Alien set...

    Review Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973)

    Damn! Never got one of those before - thank you, kind sir (I think). Anyway - I believe we were discussing Westerns...... (damn, I never know to quit when I'm behind) (oh god, don't.....) Will I drag every Western thread into Blazing Saddles territory?
