    Not sure how well-known Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle are but they are both fantastic and genuinely laugh-out-loud funny.

    Into the Wild

    Blinding film. Sean Penn’s directorial debut I think?

    I'd forgotten Penn directed it. Not his first. He also directed another underrated film - The Pledge.

    One upon a time in America
  • It actually won quite a few awards and got a bit of critical acclaim but no one I know has seen it and that is...

    My Life as a Courgette.

    French animation film which I thought was brilliant.

    Saw this at the cinema - brilliant film and great piece of animation. Loved it....

    Point Break
  • American Graffiti

    If you haven’t seen it and you like early 1960s American cars and music and spotting lots of major Holywood/movie industry stars at the outset of their careers or letting the penny drop where and what certain references/things are all about then this is the film for you.

    As a side, I see Jaguar pictured one of their new cars outside a Mel’s Diner the other day...

    On the off chance I discovered tonight that Netflix has American Graffiti in its catalogue. I had to use the search function and type more or less the full film title and up it popped...Happy days, or sort off, because Ron Howard is one of the main characters, pre his role on the series with the Fonz...

    Recently watched it on Netflix - captures a mood and atmosphere. Harrison Ford looks very young.

    Seems a bit niche for me. I’d have thought that kind of film would only be of interest to a very marrow demograph.
    You'd be a Wally to miss it
    Zucchini be serious.

    I'll get my coat.

    Can’t remember the sound track but the film reminds me of going to see it at the Roxy at Blackheath with a young lady I used to know whose mum worked as an usherette there and we got in for free

    One film which is brilliant but almost never gets a mention is The Lives of Others.
