Maybe I am being little harsh. There are only a few episodes that are unwatchable. Like the one where Picard cops off with the bird from Astrophysics.

But I don't want to ruin it for you,you'll get to it..

I watch them sometimes on Sy-Fi channel but I always feel bad about it afterwards. There are maybe 10 decent episodes and about three good ones and even then Patrick Stewart is carrying the whole show.

The Inner Light - probably the best Trek story ever, beautiful and moving.

Not a bad film but it is poorly rated, I think because, although it follows the cardinal rule 'Always open with action', it then slows down to a glacial pace for a good hour before picking up again. Lots of Kubrick-style 'beautifully lit' scenes; it is a good-looking film, and a good story, just very badly paced.

Very good film.

Not watching, but just ordered a DVD of 'The Swimmer' with Burt Lancaster. A little known masterpiece!

Also after a sensibly priced copy of 'The Naked Prey' starring Cornel Wilde. Another superb, but obscure movie.

The 'Bourne' trilogy. Totally OTT, hardly creditable, but great fun to watch.

Watched first couple of episodes of "Upstart crow" last night.... what a load of shite!! I expected better than this from Ben Elton and cast of comedy stars... Basically he's dug up Elizabethan era Black Adder and tried to dish it up again, luke warm and without his co writers reigning in his un-funny bits... Enough funny bits so I'll risk the next one...just.... in case it gets better, but most jokes from about 1978 and sign posted in neon I'm afraid.

It had its moments, but not enough for me to want to watch the entire series.

The Lady From Shanghai.

A strange noir-ish thriller starring (and produced and directed by) Orson Welles, co-starring his then-wife, Rita Hayworth. Welles attempts the worst Irish accent you're ever likely to hear, and is also physically wrong for the part (someone like Robert Mitchum would have been perfect), but it's an interesting film, with some innovative photography, and a famous final scene set in a Hall of Mirrors at a deserted amusement park.

'The Seventh Veil', starring Ann Todd, James Mason and Herbert Lom.

Ann Todd is a classical pianist who is in a nursing home following a nervous breakdown; James Mason her overbearing guardian, Herbert Lom the psychologist trying to help her recover. Apparently, this is the tenth most popular film of all time in terms of tickets sold, beating Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. A bit creaky, but good performances from the lead actors.

Ah yes, the film that made my old Gran hate James mason for the Piano lid job he did on, was it anne todd? no matter how many times she was told he was only acting it mattered not... he was an evil bully:D
