That’s a brilliant film

Watched a cracking film earlier, based entirely on Beds recommendations. 

A film called Zulu. Was very good.

Did Michael Caine ever use that posh twatish accent ever again in the hundreds of films he made after that, Off It ?

Must be a rhetorical question as I'm sure the answer is No ?

When he picked his Aston Martin up from the garage after he was released from prison in The Italian Job.

He's having a good go at it now in A Bridge Too Far.

Goodbye Mr Tom is on ITV3 now 15.50 to 18.00, but you can catch the start on ITV3+1.
Great little film.

Just watched A Star is Born. Blinding film. How talented is Bradley Cooper?

Have got to say I found it boring first time watching it in the cinema but now find myself enjoying it everytime it's on.

Is there a film with a more 'all star' cast than The Longest Day?

Hell or high water must have pushed longest day all the way

It did . Any other day , Hell Or High Water would have been my recommendation but The Longest Day is the best war film ever made in my opinion.

I've not seen Don't Look Up, but I saw this screenshot of Mark Rylance in it doing the rounds of twitter the other day, and now when I do watch it I'm going to be expecting him to say "Walking is brilliant" every 5 minutes.

charltonkeston

Even the one to avoid is too bad. 

I watched Don’t Look Up a couple of nights ago. Nice parallels with modern America, in a humorous way.

I don’t agree with all your suggestions, Beds, but I enjoy reading them and appreciate all the effort you put in.
