Brilliant thriller/horror movie, simple, but will have you gnawing off your own hand...
Thus was an interestingly different film. It was a big hit and won many awards.Quote:

The Storm Island scenes were shot over eight weeks on the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides. Film has a good rep and did quite well at box office.
My Amazon Library.

U571. 2000. Reasonably good film although totally historically inaccurate in several main premise.
Otherwise the action scenes are good as is story.
Think Tony Blair got hot under the collar about it so another point in its favour [emoji23]

On telly this afternoon, Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn in 'Last Train From Gun Hill' (1959)
In general I'm not a big fan of Westerns, but this is one of the better ones. Saw it years ago (on an old B&W set), but thought I would watch it again following the death of Kirk Douglas.

Adam Sandler is Little Nicky. 2000.
He is not bad in it but the supporting cast make it a fun watch.

UFO (Forces TV)
Never grow tired of watching this show, yes it has dated, but the stories are still good.
Brilliant innit. They were selling the Box set off on Amazon for £15. Blue Ray is obviously a lot more expensive.Quote:

Back to the Future. 1985 directed by Robert Zemeckis.
Stars Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd.
Made nearly 400m from a 20m outlay. A phenomenon that sprouted 2 more films https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...61ea4b6cd4.jpg
Rest time for me now..
The Outlaw Josey Wales 1976.
Clint Eastwood does well as the bitter renegade although Chief Dan George stole all the scenes.
Classic Western.

Carry on Cleo. 1964.

Two Way Stretch (1960)
https://i.imgur.com/X17HTy7.jpg
Prison break comedy with Peter Sellers giving a low-key performance as a smart thief who has to escape from jail to do a tickle, then break back in, thus establishing the perfect alibi.
Interesting that the Sellers character is very similar to that of Fletcher in the TV show 'Porridge', and Lionel Jeffries's chief warder character has a lot of parallels with 'Mr McKay'. I wonder if this film was part of the inspiration for 'Porridge' but I don't think I've ever seen that mentioned before.
Been trying to get that. Good film
It was on TNT I think. Or might have been Talking Pictures. It'll be round again anyway. Don't think it is good enough to warrant getting the DVD.
The Outfit. 1973 stars Robert Duvall and Joe Don Baker.
Class act film this
