OK, just a thought, but what do people think of the idea of doing a group view? Where a group of us all try to get hold of a particular classic movie and watch it, and then have a discussion on it?

I read lots of books on film, so I think the idea definitely has merit.

I grabbed it when Deep Discount DVD were having a sale on Kino DVDs. I really want to see Zouzou now, but I may have to wait for their next sale!

And I loved Jean Gabin in Pepe le Moko!

I never could watch the Three Stooges. The appeal of slapstick is a mystery to me.

It's the best of the three film versions of Cain's novel. The 1946 version is of course the worst. Even with John Garfield.

Girl with Green Eyes is one of those rather melancholy early 60s British movies. Made in black-and-white, the invariably dealt with doomed romances and very narrow rather bleak lives. Kate (Rita Tushingham) works in a grocery shop in Dublin, and falls in love with a writer twice her age (Peter Finch...

The title character in The Great Flamarion is a performer in a variety show, doing a very successful pistol-shooting act. The Great Flamarion cares for nothing except his guns and his at, until one of his assistants, the beautiful Connie, announces that she is in love with him. If only something cou...

Beast of the City is interesting in that the good guy is so obsessed with getting the bad guy that he becomes just as dangerous and creates just as much mayhem! With Walter Huston being very obsessive indeed, as only he could. Jean Harlow is excellent in a serious supporting role.

The other problem with the film is some fairly ordinary acting from the supporting cast. Really it only has one thing going for it, and that’s its star, ...

That's modern Hollywood, isn't it? It's not a film industry, it's a recycling plant.

I also love 1950s and 1960s juvenile delinquent B-movies. Kitten with a Whip being the greatest of them all. It's definitely the Citizen Kane of juvenile delinquent B-movies.

Johnny Depp is about the only thing that will persuade me to watch a modern movie these days. And only some Johnny Depp movies.

I think I saw too many Marx Brothers movies when I was young I overdosed on them. I still love Duck Soup though.
