Yes The Blues Brothers are really good.

I'm going to go to the Sandwick Cinema (the Hoswick electric picture show) to see them on the BIG Screen on 4th November.

 

The sound and picture quality is really good (eat your heart out UCI).

 

of course its a charity so they can't charge but I always make a point of a three quid donation to help it keep going.

I can't believe it what about Braveheart?

 

What you mean the hideously inaccurate, overblown retelling of Scotland's history?. I have to admit I did once own the DVD but the further away we get from the release of that film the more it pisses me off a bunch of yanks can completely re write the story of one of our greatest patriots and then have the brass neck to infer it was a true story. Granted the film did a lot for Scottish tourism but the amount of damage it did to the historical knowledge of Scots people is staggering, unless you know any better you think Wallace was a peasant, he shagged Princess Isabelle even though she was 9 when he died, he was betrayed by Robert the Bruce, he wore woad everytime he appeared in battle. Such unbelievable tosh but plenty of folk lap it up as true events. Randall Wallace and Mel Gibson have a lot to answer for.

 

Yes I'm aware it is a film and doesn't have to be accurate but why base it on an actual person then totally ignore what history we do know of the guy.

Ok, so here's ten of my favourite films, but not necessarily my top ten. There are too many good films to narrow it down to ten.

 

Bladerunner

Withnail & I

The Big Lebowski

Being John Malkovich

The Usual Suspects

City of God

Life is Beautiful

Apocalypse Now

Life of Brian

Have No Fear--The Life of Pope John Paul II (very biased opinion on this one as I have a small part in it)
