Hampden Diehard Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 1 hour ago, KnightswoodBear said: Saw The Bourne Identity was on ITV 2 the other night, so set the Sky box to tape it. Went to stick it on last night and it turns out that i've set it up to tape the bit after the break they had half way through for the news. Seething, heads gone etc All the Bourne films seem to be on a perpetual loop. It'll be about two days before it's on again, so fear not. Breaking films up for news or, worse still, daft "movie updates", is causing havoc with auld gits like me who don't notice that a film's been split.

Shandon Par Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 A bit short notice.. Film 4 +1 at 12.15 tonight.. The Breakfast Club Classic 80s teen comedy drama. Teens get dragged in to detention. Secrets are spilled, friendships made and broken. Sheer class, and Simple Minds never sounded so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted I missed this, much superior to the often preferred St Elmos Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch that every time it's on and it never gets old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch that every time it's on and it never gets old. Loved ferris bueller when i was a kid. Watched it as an adult and was shocked at how much i hate the main character. A rich self entitled little shit who manipulates everyone around him shamelessly. I found myself rooting for the teacher. Bueller undoubtedly grows up to be a republican voting financier who would probably have instigated the 2008 crash. Breakfast club tho. St elmos is a more pretentious and faux angsty american pie reunion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferris is a cheeky scamp. (I always wondered why Cameron didn't get to drive his Dad's California and had to sit in the back though - that was a dick move).

The only problem I have with the film is that I can't help picturing the teacher being molested by the gorilla on the train in Trading Places.

King Kebab Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 That accent! It was a quite good Norn Oirish attempt, it's a pity the character he was playing was Suthrn Oirish!!!Other than that still a good film and forgot how good Ronnie Corbett was in it, a pity he didn't do more roles like that before he popped his clogs!!!

Shandon Par Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 A few with a bit of a theme.. Creepy kids film.. Coraline 11am Friday, Film 4 If you need a family film that can engage the grown ups and entertain the kids, look no further. It really is like a horror film for kids. Creepy house, losing parents, shape shifting - all sorts of levels of creeps. Gorgeous animation too. Pan's Labyrinth 10.55pm Thursday, Horror Channel Scary fairtale, 15 cert so not for kids. Just watch and see why it pops up so often now in the lists of best ever movies The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.15 am, Saturday, Film 4 From the title and the reputation you might picture some low-rent gore fest. Instead you get a tense, atmospheric classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
