Can I suggest that you also watch ‘Das Boot’ to see the other side of the story.
In war it seems to me that you have more in common with your fellow combatant, even though they may be your enemy,...

A couple of recommendations for some films coming up on Film 4 in their Kurasawa season. Unfortunately Film 4 have chosen to show them at 11 in the morning so if you're interested it will mean...
Probably misattributed to Sam Goldwyn: 'I have an agreement with Western Union; they don’t make movies and I don’t send messages.'
Not sure I really agree though...
I'm a big fan of the Coens. In addition to 'Fargo' (which is indeed very good) I'd highly recommend 'Miller's Crossing', 'Raising Arizona', 'Oh, brother where are't thou' and the unfairly (in my...
I loved the way the film looked and I've been a fan of Dennehy ever since 'Gorky Park' and I know that the belly of the architect is the point of the film but I could do with seeing less of Dennehy's...
Second this - it's a captivating film with some great twists. It's the sort of story that is as gripping as fiction and would only be weakened if it were fictionalised, I can't imagine that every...
Watched "Drowning by Numbers" last night on Film 4. Have wanted it for years but its hard to get hold of and too expensive when you find it. Like most Greenaway, if you can get past the essentially...
I love 'La Mer' and 'Boum' by Trenet and both are connected to two of my favourite films: 'La Mer' in Peter Chelsom's brilliant 'Funny Bones' and 'Boum' in 'Toto le Héros'. Both films are...
Re-watching 'From the Earth to the Moon'. It's not Bergman, but its very workmanlike and well worth watching if you are a bit of a space junky. Some of the scripts are clever, choosing to focus on...
Watched 'Source Code' the other night. The writer's borrowed the plot from 'Rogue Moon' by Algis Budris and seemed to me to add the sensibility of the plot of 'Speed' to add ersatz tension and...
Watched the 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' the other night. Seemed very similar in theme to some of Mankell's stories and I assume is typical of Scandinavian crime writing at the moment. ...
No patty fingers if you please Thorn Shaunton.
Firm favourite of mine although there it does appear that some spanking had to go on whenever John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara appeared in the same...
If I remember rightly, the story has autobiographical elements. Paul McGann's character is Robinson and Richard E. Grant is based on a friend who I think drank himself to death. Robinson also had...
As you might guess from my avatar I love "The Third Man" and as you might guess from my pseudonym I'm a big fan of "Brazil". I'd recommend them both and have watched them over and over again for...
