"Belfast. What was he doing there?"
"Delivering. For Harris."
"Delivering what?"

[no answer]

"Well, come on. Delivering what? Chieftain tanks? Fiesta durex? Bars of chocolate? "

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

1. BladeRunner. Harrison Ford at his best.
2. Fast Times At Ridgemont High. It's all about Spicolli.
3. Airplane. Classic.
4. Jaws. All-time scariest movie for swimmers.
5. Star Wars. The original and still the best.
6. Raiders of the Lost Ark. So much fun.
7. Saturday Night Fever. The coolest dancer ever.
8. Grease. Great soundtrack.
9. The Longest Yard. Burt Reynolds is the man.
10. The Spy Who Loved Me. Sorry but Roger Moore was james Bond for me when I was a kid and this one is my fave Bond film of all time...
 
My Soft spot...

Leningrad cowboys go to America!
Saturday Night, Sunday Morning- Albert Finney's debut? methinks.

Wings of Desire -WIm Wenders means very much to me. I met him. My only prejudice I admit to an anti-Teuton..Sorry Weil. Are you named after Simone or Kurt?

I have other lists of movies I have seen too many times..

Women on the verge of a Nervous Breakdown- love almodovar even if he is mysogynistic. Yo ti quiero Pedrito!

SOY CUBA - best agit-prop film of all time. Same director of Cranes are flying.

RED DESERT- Antonioni
Rome Open City- Rossellini

How tasty was my frenchman - Meu gustoso meu frances - Brazilian cannibalistic film about Huguenot colonialist. Macumba is also fun . cannibalism = consumerism

My beautiful Launderette -Ah, Daniel DAy Lewis

Woman under the influence- John CAssavetes. My fave line by Peter Falk "Tell them I'm not Superman!"

My fave soundtracks-
Angelo Baddalamenti- David Lynch Twin Peaks
Pretty in Pink
Black orpheus

Experimental Kenneth Anger's Scorpio Rising. What a definition of homoerotic? That's it.I love this film....Great 60s music- You're torturing me.....

Motorcycles: taht's how Lux and Ivy hooked up...

I really am not a snob. Hate to say I have good taste because taste is subjective.Which is no excuse for the terrible drivel called musik today.

I have a list of films for smiths fans...
Gay road movie with homocidal HIV characters wearing JOY division and Smiths shirts...Greg something. let you know.
I have an issue from True to You zines lists films where Moz got his 'inspiration ' from. Taste of honey of course...many more..ANgry young men/kitchen sinks...
