Sounds like a cool event, Helen.

Watched Escape from Alcatraz (1979) which i´ve always liked very much.
Interesting (based on a true story) screenplay and cool cast create interesting characters you care about.
Director Don Siegel and Clint Eastwood had many arguments during the production so this was their last collaboration.

escape from alcatraz is a really great movie,i'm sure i had the dvd for it somewhere but can't find it at all, i'll have to pick it up on blu ray when i get chance as it's pretty cheap now,it's part of a 2 blu rays for 10 uk pounds deal at amazon.

Does anyone think that The Shawshank Redemption majorly ripped of Escape Form Alcatraz? I mean there are just too many similarities to ignore.

Escape From Alcatraz is awesome!

The Apartment (1960) with Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine.

I cannot fault this movie - I need to reassess my top 10 after watching it.

The Apartment is a classic! Billy Wilder was a genius. His movies are dark, cynical, and hilarious.

The Hills Have Eyes (1977). I had only ever seen the remake but bought this one for like 7 bucks. I thought it was pretty decent. This is how film making should be; on a budget and gritty. Thumbs up for me.

Original The Hills Have Eyes is a very good Wes Craven film.

Yeah, pretty good. I did not realise it was that old. I thought it was 86 or something for some reason and couldn't believe it when I found out it was 77.

One good thing about remakes is that it helps to bring awareness to the original for those who previously didn't know it existed. When I saw the remake I did not know that it was a remake at the time.

Watched three Eastwood films Bronco Billy (1980), Any Which Way You Can (1980) and Firefox (1982).

This was not the best era for Clint although Firefox did pretty well because audience liked to see him back in an action film.
The first two were pretty lame efforts. The cold war thriller Firefox is a bit too slow and long but it has few nice sequences.

Firefox even though it's a bit long winded at times is my favourite of the three,all three have there merits though as I can't say I dislike any of the three mentioned.

I'm trying to think what come next with out looking at imdb,I know tightrope was 84,sudden impact I'm sure was 83 and not sure what year honkytonk man was but that was in and around then!

Atomik did you know There are a couple of alternate running times for Firefox,not sure if it's the US or European version but I know one runs for about 15 minutes or so longer.

So if it was the shorter version of it you watched and you thought to yourself boy did that drag don't bother with the extended cut [Big Grin]

I haven't seen Blood of the Vampire in a while, but I don't particularly like it. It's sort of a dull, poor man's Hammer film with a hammy Donald Wolfit.

That's what I thought first time but I just enjoyed the whole story this time around.

I've just watched Pick-Up (1975) and, ermm, the hell was that!?!

San Babila Ore 20 : Un Delitto Inutile (1976)

,..Violence, terror, and crime are amongst the main subjects in the oevre of Carlo Lizzani.
In the most diverse genres, the masterful director explored the depths of Italian society
without ever shying away from hot topics. Based on true events, Lizzani paints with San Babila Ore 20
a merciless portrait of the political unrest that ruled Italy during the seventies. The result is a film
which to this day hasn't lost a bit of intensity : Great, challenging, and sophisticated cinema that is both
moving and shocking at the same time..'

Here's everything you need to know about this superb release from the great, German Camera Obscura label :

www.10kbullets.com/reviews/s/san-babila-ore-20-un-delitto-inutile-camera-obscura-bluray/

Check out the trailer : www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgwdrgUoNX8

On a side note : Director Carlo Lizzani committed suicide in 2013, when he jumped off the balcony
of his appartment building in Rome.. at the age of 91 !

watched the 1979 world war 2 romance - hanover street the other night for the very first time,directed by peter hyams (timecop) and starring harrison ford,lesley-anne down,christopher plummer and a young patsy kensit (11 yrs old at the time) this was pretty routine but fairly enjoyable stuff.

it was like a film of two halves with the slightly drawn out love story aspect of the movie taking up the first hour or so and then you have the much more lively final 40 minutes where ford and christopher plummer are on a mission in nazi occupied france.

very well shot and with decent performances from all involved and a great music score from john barry this was none to bad overall and i'd definitely recommend a watch!

https://youtu.be/bHbJiUx5ia0 - hanover street trailer.

https://youtu.be/D_2pnO8UdkQ - original music score by john barry.

The Andromeda Strain (1971) Not as good as I thought it might be. You can tell the movie was supposed to be some type of thriller with a big scare factor but you just didn't feel it.
