I rented Dr Strangelove tonight - I'll review it here tomorrow.

Also recommend Ed Wood, Eraserhead and Saving Private Ryan.

Ed Wood was very good.

Man Bites Dog is my favourite though.

I really want to see Man Bites Dog... Can you e-mail it to me?

P.S. Saving Private Ryan is black and white if your TV is fucked.

Good ole Sam Jaffe. Could have put him in the under rated actors thread.

Waste of time but thanks anyway, Sandra forgot to give me back my original set of keys which had the little post box one on when she went back to Flipperland - so I can't get my post or bills.

Seriously though (not that the above isn't true, it is) - make a note of it and give it to Marmers next time he's up and he can bring it down for me.

Cheers again... I have series 6 of Men Behaving Badly I could send him back up with in return?

To Kill a Mocking bird. (The only b&w film I have ever seen)

**chinthee** · 17-01-2008, 06:09 AM

Ok, it's not B/W but it's one of my favorite movies, and just missed the cut.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

What can you say about Truman Capote's masterpiece? It is brilliant!! Hepburn is wonderful as a young woman who is on the verge of insanity, but unknowingly to most around her. She is confused and lost in the world, and she meets Paul, both having sex with the wrong people, both confused about who they are and where they are in the world... they are"two drifters." Holly is a character that remains classic, and Hepburn played her brilliantly!! I love this movie, it will make you believe in love, and what girl doesn't truly love Tiffany's? Moon River is also a truly beautiful song that expresses the mood throughout the movie. It also has a few surprises, and is witty and charming.

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

All excellent choices above, and those movies are still great to watch. They should have a DVD movie store for those, rental and buy, not going to happen unfortunately

If I am not mistaken this is based on a Sartres novel, right ?

That one is a classic, you might want to look for the French title for a good torrent on DVD, the authors are from Belgium
