  2. Shutter Island - Martin Scorsese (2010)
  3. John Barry Barry Lyndon The Chevalier Du Balibari
  4. Manhattan Murder Mystery - Woody Allen (1993) HD copy from tv.
  5. Pete Best Mickie Most Pete Postlethwaite
  6. The Good Fight Now that's how a sequel should be done. Classy, brilliantly written and rivetingly watchable. Like seeing an old friend and finding they are smarter and more interesting than ever.
  7. Tex Ritter Brit Eckland Kitty March
  8. Little Junior Parker Little Milton Little Esther Phillips
  9. Rewatched Julieta. A great film imho and, despite some negative reviews, one of Almodovar's best films. I enjoy most of his films but often at arms length. This one fully connected.
  10. The vehicles were electric battery powered to keep noise to a minimum and not wake people in the very early morning hours. Delivery by bicycle was unknown in UK. To my knowledge bicycles have never been used as a method of hauling around goods. Japan is, of course, the diametric opposite, with almost every home having at least one bicycle, which are used heavily, daily, for shopping, taking kids to preschool etc. It's common to see people with kids on the back and front of a bicycle and shopping bags to boot. Battery pack assisted bicycles are so common that they've almost pushed out the old fashioned manual type. We have two, and all our neighbours use power assisted types. And now, back to films !
  11. Sweet Little Rock 'N Roller Jelly Roll Morton Joe Orton
  12. Grandma - Paul Weitz (2015) Rewatched this great little film. Lili Tomlin is wonderful as the cantankerous, smart and very real lead character. Funny, well written and a lovely nod to the '60's. It fits really well in a double bill with 20th Century Women.
  13. Can't speak for America but when I was growing up, the majority of houses had a milkbox, which was taken for granted as much as a mailbox. Another reason was that the milk delivered was from a local dairy and was better quality than the shop bought stuff. Yet another reason is that milk came in real glass bottles which were pretty heavy for mum to carry home along with the other grocery items.
  14. That's a good record , as is anything by HH.
  15. Marquis De Sade Marquess Of Queensbury Oscar Wilde
  16. Milk was delivered all the time in UK up to at least the '90's and was by far the most common method of purchase. Besides a choice of two types of milk, customers could also have optional delivery of eggs and yoghurt I even had a milk round when I was about 15, which would be in '61. I agree it's a ludicrous plot, which hasn't stopped me from watching it several times.
  17. Good Fellas Made Men Friends Of Ours
  18. Cattle Queen Of Montana Nevada Smith The Oklahoma Kid
  19. Lance Armstrong Burning Spear Green Arrow
  20. Gold - Stephen Gaghan (2016) All that glitters is not gold. This turkey isn't even bronze. The Missus fell asleep, which, in retrospect, was a wise move.
  21. William Bell Stringer Bell Peter Stringfellow
  22. Live Wire Bright Spark Bobby Lee Swagger
  23. To Walk Invisible - Sally Wainwright (2016) BBC Engrossing and beautifully realised tale of the three Bronte sisters and the effort to get their work published. Everything is shadowed by the pitiful decline of alcoholic brother Branwell. I thought it was really good, well scripted and acted, with production values that, while modest, lifted it above a mere tv movie.
  24. The Merchant Of Venice Ismail Merchant Chai Wallah
  25. Mr Dynamite : The Rise Of James Brown - Alex Gibney (2014) I enjoyed this a lot, especially the footage of The Famous Flames early days. Thanks to the previous poster for drawing my attention to this overlooked gem. When We Were Kings - Taylor Hackford, Leon Gast (1996) Compliments the James Brown documentary very well. A classic.
