May I gratuitously use this post to plug a far superior James Stewart vehicle with a surprisingly subversive message, Harvey? Great film.

I love Harvey. It's probably my favourite film. I have watched it many times and will watch it many more.

yeah ok, George Bailey should have shot Mr Potter in the face and started an anarcho-commie collective, changed the name of the town from Bedford to Redford etc

Missed, Rita, Sue and Bob.
But saw the second one!
'Rita, Sue and Bob too', there's a second one? What's it called? 'Rita, Sue and Bob too two?

I managed to miss the first two Madness of George films. But I don't think you needed to know them to get the story.

Missed them too, his name was George and he was mad as a goose....was it syphilis?

So many particulars. So many questions.
I've never seen Educating Rita either, it looks like a made for caine vehicle and I just didn't fancy it

It's decent. Caine's decent in it too. Michael Williams steals it.

It seemed good at the time but I wouldn't watch it again, daft sentimental working class are stupid thing going on, filmed in Trinity, Dublin.

The don having an affair with his wife who picks up the phone every time Caine walks in on them.
Mr Judi Dench. Good actor.

See this immediately. It's great. "Baldies..."

Meet me in Outer Space.
I've seen bits and bobs of kill bill and I really don't think I'm missing out. Pretty sure I'd hate it.
Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting are on my need to watch list. ET has never appealed to me, I've seen enough pop culture references to get the story anyway.

Forget ET but Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting should be on the national curriculum.

In the film (and Bennet's play) it's porphyria. But the current thinking is he may have had bipolar disorder.

Funnily enough, the interesting bits in ET are motif references from Dr Zhivago. In ET its keys. In Dr Zhivago, Lean focusses on wheels. Lean's thread was change, with the wheels symbolising that. I'm not sure what the keys symbolise in ET, I think Speilberg just thought it was cool to have a motif.

I've yet to see the Iron Lady. Don't think I can manage it tbf
I watched it on Film4 recently, it's dire, and not just because of the subject matter.

I would withdraw any child of mine from the class that had to watch Trainspotting. Never seen it, never want to see it. Knew it in real life, why the fuck would I want to see it on a big screen?
Films to me should be entertainment

If you've never seen it, how would you know? It's hilarious and shocking and if you knew it in real life
like the book it would probably be an education. I remember Paxman arguing the same point on Newsnight at the time. And the film is fucking Disney compared to the book.Johnny Vodka

Fucking Harry Potter.

Fixed.
The book is quite powerful though.

Yeah, the film's not that grim, really, nothing like what I expect a real smack addict's life would be like. It's a bit of pop culture.
