What kind of stuff are you thinking of? Because there's a few action films, it's just in general I prefer 70s style action. Did you make the 5%, btw?

 I've seen 238. I think. Lots more to see - and lots more reviews to read, as I kept going AWOL. The Intruder is brilliant and, like so many of these movies, never gets a mention on best-ever lists.

 Cheers Rawls, I'll work out how many are still to see later. I looked at my Excel to see if I could do what elab recommended, but it's only the starter system so doesn't look all that advanced.

I'm surprised you didn't bump the likes of Secret Sunshine and I Saw the Devil to the top of your viewing list, Gram.

Aye, me too.
And The Human Condition Trilogy and Howl's Moving Castle, for that matter, and I have about 40 unwatched E. Asian films that didn't make your list...

Problem is I'm snowed under with ents at present, and limited time to watch. If I do get the opportunity to watch something with the missus, it's either a TV show (currently incl. The Killing S2, The Walking Dead S2, Once Upon a Time (sticking with it for now), The Apprentice, HIGNFY, 8 Out of 10 Cats) or occasionally, when we judge that there's enough time to watch a film, it's been an English-lang rental or a borrow offa my brüd. The only thing to buck that trend of late has been Confessions, but we both flaked during (i.e. we misjudged!), so I need to rewatch the last half hour or so, this time with my eyes open!
Plus she's been watching those horrendous overlong talent comps The Voice and BGT lately, so I've sat through some of that shite or made myself scarce when it's on.

If I watch something sans missus, it's tending to be shows she's not arsed about or isn't really aware of - Tim & Eric, Archer, Game of Thrones, WILTY, plus Nathan Barley recently, BSG before that. I notice series 1-3 of Misfits is also on 4oD, I have seasons 4+ of ATHF to watch, plus some other [adult swim] stuff, plus I intend on re-watching Time Trumpet, all of which will be solo watches...

Not enough hrs in the day.

 I was going to ask what you thought of Nathan Barley, then I had the bright idea to check the other thread for a review. I thought it was ok, just probably the weakest thing CM has done to date. The reception among a lot of Chris Morris fans was pure hatred, I remember the thread on C&B at the time tore it to shreds every week.

Really? Wonder if they changed their tune later. I used to be a member over at C&B many years back, our kid still is. It's through there that I heard and read a load of the other Morris stuff including the old radio shows, Geefe columns etc.
Really ought to go back and check the archives / forums.

 A lot of the regulars who were the most vocal in hating it (The Sotcaa bunch) moved on from the forum (and there was at least one very public meltdown), so I think the people who loved it might have more of a voice now. I still don't think it's held in very high regard though.

Ah - but it's not 'best film' strictly but best noir - that might be quite different.

 And it was also the way I ranked them a couple of months ago when I made the list, rewatches can shift positions.

 If it's any help, I think it's between you and TRM for the win, and I really don't want him to get another win.

I made my selection based on the assumption everyone else was going to be a whore. But I really have no shame if I win on those terms.

 Elab, did you see what BFI have got coming out over the next few months?

quote:

The BFI is to make the complete series of the BBC's classic Ghost Stories finally available on DVD this year.

These much-loved tales terrified BBC TV audiences at Christmas throughout the 1970s. Most of the instalments were directed by Lawrence Gordon Clark and based on M.R. James's celebrated supernatural stories.

With only three of the twelve BBC Ghost Stories previously released on DVD (by the BFI in 2002), the films in this brilliant series have been high on many film and TV fans' 'most wanted' DVD lists.

The films are a key influence on recent British ghost and horror films, including The Woman in Black, and have inspired many screenwriters and filmmakers including Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen, Sherlock).

The first two volumes will be released in August 2012 in celebration of the 150th anniversary of M.R. James's birth. Two more volumes will follow in September, while the fifth and final volume, as well as a complete Ghost Stories for Christmas box set, will follow in October.

Volume One includes two versions of the chilling Whistle And I'll Come To You: Jonathan Miller's 1968 adaptation, starring Michael Hordern, and the 2010 re-imagining, starring John Hurt.

Volume Two includes The Stalls of Barchester (1971), starring Robin Hardy, and A Warning to the Curious (1972), starring Peter Vaughan, as well as Christopher Lee's Ghost Stories for Christmas: The Stalls of Barchester (2000).

Do you know what they were going to vote for if they took part?


They're the counters, the only two who get to see the votes.

I'd seen something about those out of print titles coming back but nothing as well put together as this. How utterly fabulous! Ta for the heads up

I see. So if I brown nose Gimli for a few weeks with a bit of Van Helsing and Ron Howard praising, I can expect a little favour in return?

...and no sig quotes from that please.

They're also going to start releasing the Children's Film Foundation stuff. The first volume is going to be called London Tales.

I might try and rent these - I've got a horrible feeling I'm going to dimly recall far more of those than I currently think I will!

But isn't there a mod for the mods? Tyranny can only bring your own downfall and you know this.

It would be a short lived glory.

I won't deny, though, that the world would be a worse place without Gimli's posts. You can be a dirty fighter when you want to be can't you?
