  1. The Levelling - Hope Dickson Leach (2016) Thought I'd give this another try. Well made but utterly bleak and depressing. Need something to cheer me up.
  2. Hank Snow Don Sleet Arthur Hailey
  3. John Coltrane Remington Steele Thomas Magnum
  4. I've heard that too but take it with a pinch of salt. The bombing run on the dams was performed by single planes, with one attack starting after another. The operation was finely worked out with the bombs released at a precise altitude and distance from the target, leaving no margin for either error or daring do. I can't remember exactly how the attacks took place in SW, but they struck me as far more chaotic and gung ho. I think the film was made with an emphasis on technical accuracy. The cool of the aircrews was amazing, they hardly reacted to seeing their comrades going down in flames. I don't know if that's how it happened but it made sense with the general tough, stiff upper lip ethos shown throughout the film.
  5. The Dam Busters - Michael Anderson (1955) One of the best British WW2 films.
  6. Speed - Jan De Bont (1994) Has aged well. Great popcorn flic.
  7. Gary Busey Olivia Hussey Jane Russell
  8. I already have that version. It looks fantastic. I was wondering about a 4K remaster. Actually it's just curiosity more than anything. The chances of it, or any other Powell Pressburger, being shown in Tokyo are almost nil. Thank goodness for Blu Ray. Starting Out In The Evening - Andrew Wagner (2007) Roxie Hart - William A. Wellman (1942)
  9. Sounds really good.
  10. The Mark Of Zorro - Rouben Mamoulian (1940)
  11. The Crown Season Two Watched up to ep5. Juicy soaper, beautifully well done. Love the bits about Margaret.
  12. Right. An article about the restoration prompted me to rewatch the film. I wonder if they are also thinking of doing The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp.
  13. A Matter Of Life And Death - Powell Pressburger (1946) Predestination - Michael and Peter Spierig (2014)
  14. Blushing Bride Bride Of Frankenstein Dracula's Daughter
  15. Sam Dees Daniel Plainview Milkshake Drinker
  16. Strong Island - Yance Ford (2017) Intense and disconcerting look at the aftermath of a murder. Very well presented and brutally honest.
  17. Sorry, I meant JohnJ.
  18. Good for you. I was having lunch with fellow boardster JohnJ who also seemed to have it figured out. I'm with your wife. I gave up the ghost about 2/3rds through season two. It's maybe laziness on my part but I just couldn't be bothered investing the concentration needed to keep up, which really means I found it boring.
