Saw this at the cinema. After the linear and fairly simple narrative style of The Straight Story, Lynch has returned to his usual nightmarish vision of...
Saw film on DVD. I'm surprised I haven't watched this before, since Tom Waits - a musician I really admire - is one of the 3 main stars of the film. The...
Caught this on DVD. Not usually my kind of film, but I enjoyed it very much. Effects were superb, and the humour was pitched just about right. David...
Watched on TV. This is the first time I saw the whole film. Enjoyed it very much. The choreography, especially near the beginning is excellent. In fact,...
Saw on video. This film was a revelation. It had been recommended to me, but I was not expecting much, since the the only other Hartley film I'd seen (Henry...
I must admit, that when I see the words David Lynch attached to a film, this usually has me running for cover. One might say that the art of good directing is...
Watched on DVD. The DVD has a new print of this classic film, and the picture is stunning. It's been a while since I last saw this movie, and I was reminded...
This was one of those films which I never managed to see all the way through. When this was shown at Christmas on TV I decided I must make a point of watching...
Saw this on video, unfortunately! The picture was poor, and it wasn't widescreen. Nevertheless, the film still shone through. Sorry, bad metaphor for a...
Great idea! Here are my lists:- RELEASES IN 2001 ================ 1. Moulin Rouge 2. Amelie 3. The Piano Teacher 4. Together 5. Traffic REPERTORY IN 2001 ...
Seen on DVD. This is one of those rare things: an intelligent and serious film about sex. Even more unusual, in a male dominated film industry, is that it's...
Seen on DVD. If you have not seen this film yet, PLEASE PLEASE go and borrow the video/DVD. It is one of the most original thrillers for years. One that...
Watched on TV. I tend to rate this film higher than the more famous La Dolce Vita (though I do like that film as well). This film seems more complete, more...
I'm very fond of this film, mainly based on memories of having seen it some years ago. I didn't even realise it was directed by Lean until I saw it recently...
Seen on video. Another good Hartley film, with his usual quirky characters, wry humour, with inspired directing thrown in. This is Lynch with less horror and...
If you live or work in/near London, you may be interested in this club. They organise cinema trips in central London on a regular basis. I recently joined...
Watched on DVD. A really enjoyable comedy, with Michael Douglas giving the performance of his career. The DVD has an excellent picture transfer in 2.35:1, and...
This was a real surprise. I went along to the cinema intending to see another film, but because of timing problems ended up seeing this one. I had heard that...

Just great, great, great. Billy Wilder's "The Apartment" is almost perfection, thanks to an absolutely brilliant performance from Jack Lemmon as the Everyman...
This film has at its heart four beautifully delicate performances by Judi Dench, Jim Broadbent, Kate Winslett and Hugh Bonneville. They are quite simply...
Couldn't agree more, this is one of the all time great bittersweet comedies. This was showing around Christmas a couple of years ago at the Curzon Soho,...
Caught this one this evening at the NFT, which is part of a season, dedicated to the natural redhead Julianne Moore. One thing Altman does well is creating the...
I also love this film, which I saw when it when it was first released. At the time I was not that familiar with Altman's work, and so the style came as a...
I saw LAST RESORT back in June, as part of the NFT Seeking Sanctuary season. I don't believe it ever really got a UK release after that, and here it is...
I agree with what you say about this film. I didn't manage to catch it at the cinema (maybe because, as you point out, it didn't seem to get much of a UK...
