The Window (1949) 8.5/10
I saw Frau Im Mond (The Girl in the Moon) (1929). Directed by Fritz Lang and was his own other science fiction film and made 2 years after Metropolis.
Silent, this film was a science fiction film about the first manned flight to the moon showing the planning, flight and on the moon. The planning and flight had some scientific credibility as advice was given by Hermann Oberth who was a German rocket scientist. Fritz Lang's wife at the time Thea Von Harbou wrote the novel from which the film was made and she also was involved with the screenplay. The last part of the film on the moon was entertaining enough but was scientifically absurd and Hermann Oberth had no involvement with that.
Although the film is quite long at 163 minutes and there are sections in it which drag when people are talking to each other, the film as a whole was good, but not as remarkable as Metropolis.
Hi

All 3 are great films especially Rebecca, Alfred Hitchcock is one of my fave directors, I do think Psycho is a tad overrated though
A good remake? i can't really think of one

watched this again last night ..the nightmare thing was meant to be a joke
This and the prison film with Robert Redford is it Brubaker I have watched over and over
Frodo, one of my favourite romantic films is:
This 1945 British film from the Michael Powell/Emeric Pressburger partnership is the closest British film made to the classic American comedies such as It Happened One Night.

I've seen quite a few of the Astaire/Rogers films but not the Story of Vernon etc as that is the least typical of their films and doesn't seem to very cheerful.
I resaw Crocodile Dundee (1986) which is an amiable romantic comedy. It was followed by 2 sequels, but this is the best of the series.
Paul Hogan and his co-star Linda Kozlowski started a relationship during this film and the first sequel, married in 1990 and remain married.

Alps (Alpeis) (2011) 7.5/10
Some years ago I watched my own double bill of Italian films. First was Miracle in Milan. The second was Cinema Paradiso. As a double bill it was (as far as films are concerned) one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life.
Hello jackassfan ..El Loro
I have been watching this film ..Iv'e seen It many times before I have the film channel for a while so I'ts good to be really involved instead of rehashing films I have seen
I felt a little guilty because I just love films and this way I feel able to join in
I always have this channel leading up to mmm lets say the festive season .
I have never seen that film before
I watched quite a lot of the jackass film last night three on Sky Movies they will be on again to be honest ..I watched sort of from a distance cos I'm not that really that big a fan .I found myself laughing ..The portaloo...the ram the bull
the rocket up his ....had the biggest laugh last night ..the tooth pulling ..LOL
hahaha I had a great time
thanks
I saw The Book of Eli (2010). It was directed by the Hughes brothers and starred Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman. Cameo appearances from Frances de la Tour and Michael Gambon. Right at the end of the film is an uncredited cameo appearance from Malcolm McDowell.
The story could be regarded as a standard post-apocalyptic film, a bit like Mad Max. Bleached landscape (the film could almost have been made in black and white) and violent scenes throughout. Gary Oldman is searching for a book which is reputed to be of great power. It turns out that Denzel Washington has the book and is journeying to take it to its destination. The resolution of the film makes this very different from this genre and is what makes this film worth watching. It reminded me of another book/film but I won't name it as otherwise it would give far too much away.
Denzel Washington was perfect for the part of Eli. If the film had been made some years ago Morgan Freeman would have been a logical choice.
