Remember reading the book when I was young but didn't know there was a film.Naked Lunch With William S Burrows,
North West Frontier - a stirring tale of daring do with the plucky Brit up against overwhelming odds, although not particularly PC by modern standards. Still a good film though.
Kes - I thought this was a documentary when I first saw it and it has a core of gritty, downbeat realism that still resonates.

wholesale car smashing? malignant nuns?
sorry, being daft, ignoring the point of my own thread! Got it into my head somehow that you didn't much like it the first time.Nope, saw it when it came out and watched it two days ago too.
I seem to remember that it got a fair few bad reviews on its initial release.

Melody - full film - do take a look. Londoners will marvel at the location shots of "old London".

For it seems it ended up becoming a cult in Japan and popular in South America,
hence this print's odd intro and subtitles.
Others.
Barbarella - 1h 38 mins of "who gives a damned about a story line" with some scenes shot on the same set as Ice Station Zebra (I suspect).
Disney's The Black Hole - I went to see it 5 times in a week- not for the dodgy acting or poor story line though, but for the soundtrack (which I once owned on cassette - purchased from a Woolworth's opposite the cinema).
Dark Star - Cowboys in Space and bombs with AI - what could go wrong ? An underrated film in the sci-fi genre (for a John Carpenter film) - time for a remake ?
Them (1954) - It's the army fighting giant ants FFS - What else do you want ???? 20/10
