nice roy... great posters.
worth picking up the bluray edition. its a nice copy
That poster promises more in the way of 'jugs' than the film actually delivers...
Think I said I didn’t remember seeing ‘them’ in the film last time I watched it and put a pic of that poster on [emoji4]Quote:

I suppose it was done by someone who hadn't actually seen it:
'What's it about?'
'They find a crashed alien spaceship and then it all goes a bit Pete Tong and there's a big devil thing killing everyone'.
'Okay that gives me some idea. What about tits? Any tits on show?'
'No not really. It's not that sort of film.'
'Well I like drawing tits so I'm going to put some in anyway'.
'
Yeah whatever you want mate just have it done by Friday'.
Actually did laugh out loud at thatQuote:

Not seen this one since I was a little kid. All I could remember was that it was gripping, but I would only have been about six or seven.
But it stands up well today. Great performances from Gable and Lancaster, and a good pace to it with some twists and turns.
All the action on the submarine is historically accurate, they had WW2 submarine force vets in to technically advise them. The only thing that is a bit dodgy is the Jap sub shooting a torpedo at them whilst both subs are underwater.
HMS Venturer sunk a German sub underwater at end of war.Quote:

Yes, I looked it up. 8 torpedoes at timed intervals based on a guess of the German's possible course. The U-boat inadvertently turned into the path of one of them.Quote:

Anyway, still a great film.
It might have been carrying nuclear material, gold or even Hitler and Eva fleeing Berlin (having left doubles to commit suicide) [emoji23]Quote:

Too Many Crooks. 1959, directed by Mario Zampi. Terry Thomas and George Cole in the leads.
Quality comedy with a very good supporting cast.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9f05f6a288.jpg
Terry Thomas was a brilliant actor. One of my favourites is 'How to Murder your Wife' he did with Jack Lemmon, hilarious and clever.Quote:

Harlem Nights, 1989. Eddie Murphy. Murphy co-stars with Richard Pryor as a team running a nightclub in late-1930s Harlem while contending with gangsters and corrupt police officials. The film also features Michael Lerner, Danny Aiello, Redd Foxx. Murphy also wrote, co produced and directed...show off.
The Outlaw Josey Wales. 1976, stars Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke and Chief Dan George, who i think was nominated for an Oscar in Little Big Man. Eastwood Directs too.

Not seen Hopscotch for half a lifetime. I think it was Grant that mentioned it recently, so I tracked a copy down.
Now which one do I watch first? :hmm: :)
Logan's Run was IMO a crap film - not even mitigated by the young females running around bra-less.
I think it has improved with age. Compared to modern scifi films it's pretty good.
Dolittle 2020. stars Robert Downey Jr.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._poster%29.png
I saw it at the cinema when it was first released, and saw it about ten years ago when it was shown on TV.
The script is weak (no explanation of any kind how society got that way), morally simplistic and sentimental. I thought 'Soylent Green' was similarly weak: both poor adaptations of reasonable SF novels.
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/logans_run
I think I have seen it about half a dozen times. It's a flawed film I agree but the concept is an interesting one (everyone is killed when they reach age 30 to control population), the sets are good, and it features Jenny Agutter at the height of her powers. Rotten Tomatoes gives it 62% overall, I'd say that's about right.Quote:

The ratings are an average of those of Philip Strick (author of Science Fiction Movies), Tom Milne (reviews fantasy films for Monthly Film Bulletin), Ramsey Campbell (horror novelist and reviews films for Halls of Horror) and Peter Nicholls.
An alternative take on the idea of a 'thanatocracy' is partially explored in the film 'Zardoz'. A film that has too many interesting ideas for its own good, is flawed but (again IMO) is a much better film (though Rotten Tomatoes only gave it 47%! :doh:). Worth watching if only to see Sean Connery running around in a loin cloth (:eek:), and again most of the females are bra-less and wear flimsy diaphanous tops.

Once Upon a Time in the West, 1968. Directed by the great Sergio Leone, and stars Henry Fonda, cast against type, as the villain, Charles Bronson and Jason Robards as anti-heroes and the beautiful Claudia Cardinale as the hot potato(what a potato:eyebrows:). The widescreen cinematography was by Tonino Delli Colli, and the acclaimed film score was by the late Ennio Morricone.

This film rightly has a huge cult following, and directors such as Martin Scorsese, George Lucas and Quentin Tarantino have cited the film as an influence on their work. It has also appeared on prominent all-time critics lists, including Time magazine's 100 greatest films.
its on mine too..
