Special AoS bonus goes to Grant when he watches a film from the last decade, and where the cameras used weren't powered by paraffin!:eyebrows:;)

I agree - all praise to Grant for reminding us of a period when films were made well: were variously thought-provoking; sympathetic; subtle and funny. Not like today's block busters which depending on genre, are unsubtle "in your face", full of gee-wiz CGI special effects and formulaic.Quote:

quality film that depicted the authorities as idiots, the rich as potentially dodgy and only the poor to be fair minded...probably why it did so well.
from my amazon library
A bit more up to date now with one of the great sifi films.
Terminator 2. Judgement Day.
For it's day(1991) it had great effects and a superb opening.
Big Arnie of course stars

T2 was definitely my favourite of the Terminator films. Made me want my own pet 'Arnie' to go around with.
To Kill A Mockingbird (1963) starring Gregory Peck, and narrated by Kim Stanley. From the novel by Harper Lee.

One of those great books that made a great film. 50th anniversary edition from my Amazon library.
The dog is glued to the box at the moment. 'The Wizard of Oz' has come on and the pooch seems fascinated.
