Blues Brothers and Animal House......" fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son!"

Au contraire!

I suppose the best "Cult" films I've seen must be Psychomania (1972) and Clockwork Orange (1971).

I haven't seen either! A gross cultural oversight.

You don't know what you're missing !

So, an utterly left-field one here. "Simple Men" by Hal Hartley.

I Like a good British film, Brassed Off is one I come back too regularly.

I live about a mile from Grimethorpe.

I live about a mile from Grimethorpe.

Is that a euphemism for being dangerously close to Grimsby?

Otherwise known as the North Lincolnshire conurbation?

Both have been pits, one still is.

I've just watched a BT show about Joe Calzaghe. Paddy Considine was on it late on. Reminded me how much I liked Shane Meadows' stuff. Off the back of that I've finished the evening watching "A room for Romeo Brass" on YouTube.

I remember seeing some of Shane Meadow's very early stuff in Nottingham when I lived there. He had quite a few showings at The Broadway independent cinema in Hockley.

Planet of the Apes - the original. Very, very clever and surprisingly topical. And what a reveal at the end!

 

[Rob the Imp]

I gave Shane Meadows a quote for a load of camera equipment once. He did not take me up on it.

 

[German Imp]

Not much of a film person nowadays, but for pure nonsense I did enjoy Airplane - laugh, I nearly bought a round !

I was over under and under was over done.
Vector Victor, Clearance Clarence, Roger, Eh.

Mrs German enjoys the Full Monty !

If....

I saw it twice, soon after release in 1968.

I moved to Cheltenham in 1970 and stayed in a BnB owned by an extra, then worked with another whom I still see occasionally in Tewkesbury.

 

[Bazzzer]

Has anyone mentioned

The wild and the willing

much of it filmed in Lincoln

I didn't really understand why he got so upset that the planet of the apes had built a replica of the statue of liberty. Was it because they'd only built the top half?

Yes, and the music, "Sanctus" became popular. Saw the film on telly a while back - obviously not as edgy as it was originally, but still a good film
