Leslie Howard stars as a modern day Scarlet Pimpernel(Prof Smith) in this ww2 propaganda masterpiece from 1941. Based on the novel from Baron Orczy, this PIMPERNEL SMITH, is a smashing film co starring the immense Francis Sullivan Hugh Macdermott and the lovely Mary Morris . Howard was to tragically die during the war when the plane he was in was shot down (he was reputed to be a British spy and used his acting position as cover)

The Good Shepherd

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5136xJHYqYL.jpg

The story of the birth of the CIA told with a glittering cast of Hollywood's finest and directed by Robert De Niro. Edward Bell Wilson (Matt Damon) is a patriotic, morally wholesome Yale graduate recruited by the fledgling CIA. His life is thrown into a dizzying chain of events as the full weight of the position he has accepted becomes clear. The strictest secrecy must be observed which causes friction between he and his new wife Margaret (Angelina Jolie). As America ushers in the era of cold war jitters, suddenly nobody trusts anyone, nobody is above suspicion and the only beliefs Wilson is left with - those of country and national pride - are challenged. The stellar supporting cast includes, among others, De Niro, Alec Baldwin, John Turturro and William Hurt.


Mediterraneo

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41J63517FML.jpg

Set during WWII, eight Italian soldiers are sent to guard an apparently deserted island off the Greek coast, but are marooned after their ship is sunk. The island is inhabited and whilst the war rages on the soldiers soon forget the reason for being there, setting up a community with the Greek inhabitants. Won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film.

slightly offkilter sci fi from the BBC first shown in the mid 60s to early 70s and not seen since.

the boxset is just released by the good folks at BFI and contains all the remaining episodes....many were wiped as was the policy in the bad old 70s.

Quigley down Under (1990). an Aussie western starring Tom Selleck as Quigley, the sharpshooter with the bfg... a Sharps Buffalo gun, and Alan Rickman as the unequivocally mad bad rancher who hired him. Plenty of comic moments and much to ponder too re treatment of the Aborigines .

A top film for me and one of the best Selleck and Rickman made imo.

Back to the Future (1985) starring Michael J Fox and Chris Lloyd. Robert Zemeckis's classic start of the trilogy of time travel is probably still the best of the 3.

Universal Pictures head Sid Sheinberg did not like the title "Back to the Future", insisting that nobody would see a movie with "future" in the title. In a memo to Robert Zemeckis, he said that the title should be changed to "Spaceman From Pluto", tying in with the Marty-as-alien jokes in the film, and also suggested further changes like replacing the "I'm Darth Vader from planet Vulcan" line with "I am a spaceman from Pluto!" Sheinberg was persuaded to change his mind by a response memo from Steven Spielberg, which thanked him for sending a wonderful "joke memo", and that everyone got a kick out of it. Sheinberg, too proud to admit he was serious, gave in to letting the film retain its title.

Dunkirk - ITV4 HD (Now)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkirk_%28film%29

Fabulous and moving account of Dunkirk, seen from the eyes of those trapped on the beaches and those who aided them - those who piloted the little ships - mostly civilians.

Oscar and Lucinda

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51AYJ4HNKBL.jpg

Cheating I know but this review from an Amazon purchaser sums it up for me:

You'll have to excuse me but I'm going to be one of those bores who say "it isn't as good as the book". Being a bit of a weighty tome the book was always going to be a bit tricky to translate onto the screen and this adaptation suggests that a lot of the original scenes were cut out. If I hadn't read the novel, and therefore known the plot, I would have been thinking to myself "what the hell's going on" at the start of the film. That aside, it's still a marvellous story and Ralph Fiennes and Cate Blanchett provide almost the same Oscar and Lucinda that my imagination had conjured up. The main reason why I've marked the film down is that the original ending has been changed. We are let down gently rather than having to suffer the full force of life's injustice slapped across our face. A compromise has been made to cater for a crowd pleasing (fairly) happy ending.

Despite the leading actors, both of whom I greatly admire, I’m only giving it 5/10. It could well go back to the charity shop.

J. Edgar

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91xmN5v1bgL._SL1500_.jpg

Taken from Amazon.co.uk:

The complicated life of J. Edgar Hoover is thoughtfully and quietly distilled into a feature film by director Clint Eastwood. J. Edgar is a movie, therefore, that’s free of fuss. Told mainly through an older Hoover reciting back his life story, it’s a conventional structure that allows Eastwood to cherry-pick some of the most interesting moments from the controversial life of the man who was the first director of the modern day FBI.
J. Edgar, as a movie, is sometimes a little too cautious for its own good, sidestepping one or two areas of its subject’s life. But in the title role, Leonardo DiCaprio is in excellent form. Sometimes weighed down by ageing make-up, but always able to hold the screen, it’s his central performance that’s the compelling reason to watch the movie. Judi Dench has less to work with as his mother, although Armie Hammer fares better as Clyde Tolson, the man who may or may not have been Hoover’s lover.
The disc release does dig into Hoover a little bit more, with a feature exploring the complexity of the man. At the very least, it serves as a starting point to find out more about one of the most fascinating people in modern American history. The film and disc certainly scratch the surface on him, and there’s plenty here to like and admire. They do leave you with a lot more to discover, though… --Jon Foster

Need to watch this again, but on first viewing 7/10.

struth
10-03-2015, 21:32
I watched that as well Barry. Was not overly impressed tbh. Di caprio was more like himself than Hoover and the story missed most of his character for me. Much preferred him in the likes of gangs of new york and even titanic.

September Dawn (2007) starring Jon Voight, Terrence Stamp and Trent Ford.

.... A story set against the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the film is based upon the tragedy which occurred in Utah in 1857. A group of settlers, traveling on wagons, was murdered by the native Mormons. All together, about 140 souls of men, women and children, were taken. Amidst this, two young lovers-to-be, one a Mormon and the other one of the doomed settlers from Arkansas, develop a relationship in an atmosphere of suspicion and rancor.

Rewatching "Garth Merenghi's Darkplace"...

Spoof within a spoof, imagine a James Herbert style horror writer wrote a series for TV in the 1980's and it got rejected for being crap. He gets a chance later to show it on early Channel 4 and tell everyone how great he is (and he's not) and how great his rejected TV show was...
Silly but absolutely brilliant, early work for Matt Berry and "Moss" from the IT Crowd.

'Milius' - Documentary film about writer and director John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Conan The Barbarian).

Fascinating film about a larger than life character. Interesting in that he reckons that Red Dawn, despite being a huge box-office success, destroyed his career in right-on Hollywood. Although the stars and other directors interviewed in the film seem to think it was more to do with his habit of toying with a loaded Colt 45 pistol during meetings...

Yep - according to the documentary this did work in his favour on occasion.

When making Apocalypse Now he wasn't happy with Martin Sheen's voiceover - 'too light' - so he gave Sheen said weapon and told him to hold it whilst recording. Sheen is vehmently anti-firearms and it made him very nervous but it apparantly added the required 'edginess' to the voiceover.

Well worth watching again and I will be giving the TV series ago too. Saw this all years ago but despite their age they hold up well, great writing stands the test of time.

yes the one b4 when the guy dies in there arms was in a way for me even worse and took me to places i probably didnt want to go. ..but had to face it!

screaming is rather good isnt it:lol:

I have only seen it from episode 6 coming to it late but that Episode The Garrison Commander is a hard watch.

Yes, it's called being ambushed by grief, unrelated and related stuff will jump out at you from time to time.

I love it lol, only one I would go out of my way to watch..... frying tonight.....

'Olympus Has Fallen'

Basically a Die hard re-make with The White House substituting for Nakatomi Plaza and without the former's witty script and likeable characters. Starts a bit slow, gets better wehn the action starts, but then just gets silly. If it didn't take itself so seriously it wouldn't be too bad. So many plot holes they would fill a book but the main one is that the incredibly complex North Korean plan entirely hinges on the President over-riding security procedures and allowing the Koreans into the White House bunker otherwise it would fail completely. How could they possibly be certain that he would do that?

Also if you are a group of secret service agent defending the White House against a ground attack by about 100 gadgees armed with AK47s and rocket launchers it is probably not your best plan to stand out in the open on the front steps blasting away with your pistols until you inevitably get mown down.

So all in all a bit crap but don't worry a sequel will be here in October (that's not a joke btw).

Carry on Forever.. Quite sad that most the original carry on team are long gone. Carry ons were an important part of my life as a kid.. Its a shame kids don't watch old stuff like that these days instead of filling their heads with shit. :rolleyes:

The Duellists (Film4 now)

One of my favourite films. A story of love, honour and pig headed stupidity as two officers in Napoleon's army fight numerous duels to settle a point of honour that becomes less and less why they fight. Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel are the main protagonists. Beautiful film, fabulous costumes and some truly bloody duels, Ridley Scott's first film and despite it being small scale re budget it is epic re scope.

The film is sited as being an accurate portrayal of Napoleonic period military conduct and uniform changes.

Must say I also love the way the women look in this film.

Two Way Stretch 1960 starring Peter Sellers, Bernard Cribbins, Wilfrid Hyde-White and the ever loved Irene Handl. Top film this as Sellers arranges to steal some diamonds while in prison, thus having the perfect alibi.

Yes, that is a truly excellent film. The realisation that Keith Carradine has got the better of Harvey Keitel, and that Keitel has to now retire in disgrace is utterly moving.

Fabulous attention to detail, superb location shots, great actors - this is Ridley Scott's fine directorial debut.

War and Remembrance. Herman Wouk's follow up book to The Winds of War, and made into a mini series in 1988; starring Robert Mitchum and the lovely Victoria Tennant in lead roles with Polly Bergen, Topol John Guilgud and Robert Hardy among the many supporting stars. Both these books are among my favorites and these series are pretty good..
