I didn’t remember it having canned laughter but only in certain scenes? (Usually involving the Barman, the purser and the doctor). Sometimes they seem to press the laughter button too early before the ‘funny’ line has been completely delivered.Quote:

Some channels now show MASH with the laugh track on and it doesn't work at all. Ruins it. They aren't too good at judging when it should come in either.

The BBC are re-running the 1990s Pride and Prejudice (the one with Colin Firth), which we're binge-watching over a couple of evenings while it's pissing down with rain. It stands the test of time well, although the writer/producer Andrew Davies was over-used on adaptations of classic novels, which got more and more OTT and anachronistic as time went on.

It's been a very long time since a movie has affected me so much. I spent a long time afterwards thinking how, in some ways, the film summed up all that is wrong with the world today - the sheer unbridled greed of a small proportion of society.
one of my favs that.Quote:

Watching from bed. It's a bit too complex for easy watching.
Geoff rates this so will stick with it
Interesting film. Need to watch it again I think
I've watched it three times and picked up on new things (or bits I missed) each time.Quote:

Have you seen 'Cube'? A bit gristly but interesting nonetheless.
I recently got a DVD of that. Not watched it yet.Quote:

Passport to Pimlico. 1949.. a good cast from the day. Stanley Holloway, Margret Rutherford, Barbara Murray etc.
Filmed on a bomb site in or near Lambeth and was supposedly a reference to the Berlin blockade of the time.
Between 2 worlds 1944 stars John Garfield

'The New Avengers'
On True Entertainment channel. Normally it is just flagrant false advertising on this channel and they just show pap. But now they start with proper telly. And a classic episode as well, the one where Purdey is kidnapped and Steed punches Gambit in the balls so hard it knocks him out.
Everything about this is proper telly. The opening credits. The theme tune. Great characters. Everyone, male or female, agreed that Purdey was the best. The cars: You've got a Jaguar XJS and Broadspeed, Rover SD, Triumph TR7. Plus good story with loads of fighting and action. Brian Clemens was the writer, and he could always write a good spy yarn; he wrote all the best episodes of 'The Professionals' as well.
The channel advises the some scenes are unsuitable for children. Well I watched it when it was first on in 1977 age 8 and I didn't have any issues. I remember discussing this one on the yard at school on the following Monday morning, that punch in the groin being the main focus of course.
No-one is making anything as good as this today.

Hitchcock version.
How about an absolute tripe movie to watch? At 6.50pm there's 'Sharknado 4: the 4th Awakens' on Horror Channel. It is a shark attack disaster/horror movie, teaturing monster flying sharks.And to round it all off, has David Hasselhoff in it!
My son watched that a while ago. Said he liked it. Lol
Don’t breathe is a good film
