i might be getting the title wrong but 'My Beautiful Launderette', i remember it cropping up - important in the canon of gay cinema in your books? Think it was a ways after Bogarde's time still...

rah so many recommendations to catch up on. Settling down to watch a film seems like the hardest thing in the world atm

I saw it yonks ago, it is pretty raw and powerful. I need to rewatch it but we also discussed my problem with Loach...;)
I've seen it, nice flick...:) I prefer Maurice as far as Brit gay films are concerned...

I dont why but I found this movie hilarious.

For the second time in the last few months:

Talk about subtext!

no picture?

i want to see that, would i like it? Just caught one of the segments from the 80's Twilight Zone: the Movie on TV, the one with the omnipotent kid. If you haven't seen this you oughta, even if the final segment is soppy and a huge anti-climax. Hell the original 60's TV show had some great episodes with the Shat (William Shatner). Don't watch this if you are scared of flying...

Twilight Zone: The Movie is unwatchable for me due to the death of Vic Morrow on set and Spielbergs useless contribution :(

As for The Company of Wolves- it's an interesting film that takes an age to get going but the subtext is brilliant and superbly realised. It makes you feel guilty being male a little I think. Female teenagers should love it.

ah, that's tragic, i just looked it up. Not a nice way to go.

Tomorrow is a 'getting sh*t done' day for me so I'll dedicate the evening to watching a few of these films; Redbelt was very good btw Marijan, got that from your best of 2008 list. I wonder if there really is a redbelt...

Damn I swear there was one when I posted.

I haven't seen Stand and Deliver since it was pretty new but I remember liking it at the time. Definitely one of the better movies in the "inspiring teacher" genre.
