Inmates, In the wake of the generally appalling rush of CGI comic book heroes, further Star Bores and Hairy Plodder spin off's, over the last three or four months I've been revisiting some of my old favorites, most of which are in glorious B&W: Seven Samurai Dr. Strangelove Jojimbo Throne of Blood The Third Man Our Man in Havana Hobson's Choice All About Eve Citizen Kane The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Beat the Devil Pygmalion City Lights Duck Soup Kind Hearts and Coronets M Metropolis To Kill a Mockingbird Barry Lyndon Slaughterhouse Five The Exorcist Fahrenheit 451 A Clockwork Orange Patton The Godfather trilogy - and so much, much more,.. This has been interspersed with a some made for the television machine series: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Smiley's People Wolf Hall Not every one of these is the pinnacle of film-making of course, and it would take many pages to describe the qualities of these, but suffice to say, these have all been a welcome respite from our VR real world and the current hyper blockbuster marketing research-driven movies. Cheers, BambiB |

. . . as one of the uTube posters notes, a prescient foreshadowing of today's US/Mexico relationship! ;-) BTW, in addition to Star Bores and Hairy Plodder, you could have also mentioned Star Blecch - "These are the voyages of the star ship, Booby-Prize!" I should talk though, because, five days a week, Ms. CfL watches re-runs of Star Trek (the OS) and Star Trek TNG, and I often get roped in - LOL! Oh - and I also see you're a fan of "A Crockwork Lemon". ;-) View YouTube Video |
