piggys post "for big c and bill" has just reminded me of an absolutely delightful little film that i have not watched for years RESTLESS NATIVES ,and the sound track was by BIG COUNTRY

[tovarich]

What has surprised me so far (although i am perfectly willing to admit that the fault could be mine)is that no one has mentioned LORD OF THE RINGS having read the books many years ago before they became "fashionable"i must admit i was extremely sceptical that the films could possibly be as good, but i was more than happy to prove myself wrong,and i believe that all concerned did a very good job with the film adaptation.

As a matter of interest, my son-in-law's uncle - Mike Hedges - received an Oscar as the Chief Sound Engineer on LORD OF THE RINGS. He also got an Oscar for KING KONG and theres a possibility of a third for the film he's just finished LOVELY BONES. Genned up kiddie so we're hoping.

Shawshank is my favourite film if i have to narrow it down to one. I must say i think Morgan Freeman is afantastic actor.

you should see his new film streetcry it's called invictus and he plays nelson mandella brilliantly.

That was a great film... similar in humour to Gregory's Girl, That Sinking Feeling, and Local Hero... all brilliant.

I heard that was good, want to see that too, and yes he is a superb actor...

certainly agree about APOCALYPSE NOW just looking at some of those guys frightens me,and yet it is totally believable.one of the things which greatly increased my interest in films was when they started putting the extras on DVDs ie about the making of the film.And i love the bit on this one when they are shooting the scean about the dance around the camp fire and mel gibbson jumps in and tries to fire them up to get the shots he is looking for brilliant.

One film i forgot which nobody has mentioned is Schindlers List , the one film i admit to crying to

[Win2Win]

Dune was pants, watched it twice, read the book, and still can't understand it. It just seems to be an overrated version of Tremors.

[mick56]

One film i forgot which nobody has mentioned is Schindlers List , the one film i admit to crying to

I must confess that when i learnt of the theme i could not watch the film.years ago there was a tv series called THE HOLOCASTE which appeared to be very realistic,and i guess everyone should watch something like this once to increase your understanding and to help ensure there is never a recurrence,but once was enough for me,to see realistic portrayals of the helpless suffering of those innocent people would probably make me cry to,and there is no shame in that.

I mentioned it Tony, a really great film that I have watched a few times now.

Ok Scoobs i did scroll though to see if it was in must have missed it , it is a great film

I would really reccomend a weekend away to Krakow and visit Auschwitz-Birkenau and also Schindlers house to anyone

[mick56]

Talking of Morgan Freeman,i watched KISS THE GIRLS,for the first time yesterday,i thought the combination of Mr freeman and brian cox really worked well

sorry,huckabuck,have just realised i got muddled up the film i am referring to above is APOCALYPTO.:splapme

[tovarich]

Not much into films these days, most of my favourites are musicals - West Side Story, Oliver, Guys and Dolls, Singing in the Rain, etc where I can sit back and enjoy the music.

However, for me, there is one film that stands out a mile -- SCHINDLERS LIST -- especially the last scene when Liam Neeson breaks down and says "I could have sold this gold pin (made from gold teeth donated by Jews he had saved) and saved another one Jew".

And then when the film was over the extra track showing the descendants of the Jews he saved (Children, grandchildren,etc) queueing up in line to lay a stone on the grave of Oscar Schindler.

A very touching film (Spielburg I think) and certainly brought a tear to my eye.

Hey Tovarich, I thought you'd still have been moaning about these new fangled movies made in colour :D

[mathare]

Hey Tovarich, I thought you'd still have been moaning about these new fangled movies made in colour :D

Them new 'uns where the plot isn't just a bloke in a black cape tying a damsel to the train tracks - wrong!

[tovarich]

Hey Tovarich, I thought you'd still have been moaning about these new fangled movies made in colour :D

Well Big Man,the trouble with these latest new fangled movies is that they are (for people like me anyway) mostly remakes of great films from the past but noisier An' where's Bogey and Cagney and Raft. it's jist no the same! :wink

[bigcumba]

where's Bogey and Cagney and Raft. it's jist no the same! :wink

To be honest there are times when I need a fix of those guys too, plus of course Edward G Robinson, you can't leave him out... they really don't make them like that anymore, and Bogart is probably my all time favourite actor.. the only guys in more modern times who come close are Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis and Gary Oldman.

[tovarich]

yes, I can watch anything with Jack Nicholson in it but no matter the story or content I just can't help having a laugh or at least a smile. He has that effect on me, or maybe it's just admiration for his talents. Could be jealousy - he doesn't seem to give a damn for anybody. My type of man. :)

[bigcumba]

He is an amazing actor, and still one of the coolest guys on the planet... just got so much charisma I guess... much like me

Have just noticed that Boris the blade has won at hay @11/1 unfortunately not carrying my money,but it caused me to recall the film SNATCH by no means my fav film but BORIS THE BLADE who was in the film would i guess be my all time fav character.
