    It's a brilliant film - especially to watch with the 'hide behind a cushion' types, unfortunately the pub quiz is a- calling

    Yeah. Whatever else you might say about Dog soldiers, you can't start asking 'why did they...' questions as the plot falls apart like Jesus' sandals after he walked on water.

    On a related issue...

    It's hard to find good films on TV. It's the same crap over and over again - even Film 4 is a very sick ghost of what it used to be. (I mean, Judge Dredd, FCS, on this week - it's a really, really crap film which no-one but OCD fans of Sylvester Stallone could rate.) Any film with a decent rating is one that you've seen before - probably twice.

    So it was a welcome change to see an Ingmar Bergman film on Film 4 - The magician. Another of Max von Sydow's towering performances before he went to Hollywood and made a fortune playing slightly odd, slightly sinister old men in rubbish films that Bergman could have burped after a snack. Admittedly, it's in the early hours of the morning, so it will have to be recorded, but still. Woohoo.

    Then further glance through the schedules reveals that on Channel 4, but also in the early hours of the morning, the actress Sharmila Tagore is introducing Satyajit Ray's film, Company Limited, in which she starred.

    It just makes you sag, mentally; two mighty giants of cinema, and yet despite the unending and unutterable movie crap on the 20 or so channels I have access to, the schedulers have managed to get them to clash.

    We ought to get the BFI to start it's own channel, which might be what Film 4 ought to have been, and show classics of cinema 24/7...

    So they could escape in it? Nearly worked too...

    And it led to one of my favourite moments on the film - an unarmed man walking outside into an yard infested with werwolves that are capable of ripping him to shreds with next-to no effort, and shouting at the top of his voice:

    "COME AND 'AVE A GO IF YER THINK YER 'ARD ENOUGH!!!!"

    As a piece of raw bravado, that had me cheering...

    Fun fun fun film.

    Plot, Location, Dialogue, Editing, Script and of course THE worst...Judge Dredd showing his face. Sucky Sucky Sucky Suuuccccckkkked!

    At the beginning they had a block war and spoke about 8 dead. 8? Each block held thousands (around 60,000), had their own "army" (the city-def) and were very patriotic; you'd expect thousands dead with a proper block war. (some info). Which was my main complaint about the film - Mega City One is a city that covers most of the east coast of the USA and was reported to have up to 1/2 a billion people living in it (info)- the film shows no sense of scale or sense of anthropological "what if" that the original stories cover. Gah...great sci-fi material wasted on celluloid toilet paper.

    Sorry, rant over

    We ought to get the BFI to start it's own channel, which might be what Film 4 ought to have been, and show classics of cinema 24/7...
    I think we have had this before but looking at the top 250 list at IMDB.com, theres lots I've not seen but would like to, and i agree there is some real tat being shown instead. But, is the imdb.com list a decent list of "classics" or should we, in general, look elsewhere for a fairly definitive list? (well, as definitive as you can get with something so subjective)

    Must say enjoyed the flim enormousley best bits for me, as always.

    Fight scene in kitchen when nutty bollox takes on warewolf unarmed and knocks the crap out of it, with his fists and a frying pan, funny as hell. Same bloke playing with the sword and his mate takes it off him saying "you will have someone eye with that", priceless.

    Now IMHO the american flim industry just cannot produce horror comedies of the calibre of british flims.

    Stunning flim well worth watching again and again.

    True this is an excellent movie, but my favorite has to be "Brain Dead" by Peter Jackson, funny as hell, more gore than you can shake a stick at, and classic lines such as "I kick arse for the lord".

    Bit like the old horror movies where you have 6 people in a room and a killer outside

    So what do you do hang out to dawn in the same room, of course not

    You split up and one goes down a dark cellar on his own to make a call, guess what happens to him

    Hmm. I should imagine that the majority of the people who vote on IMdB have never seen a film that wasn't either a) at the local multiplex or b) on cable; furthermore, they will be 95% American, and have never watched a subtitled film. (In other words, there 'points out of 10' will be given on a rather inadequate basis.) I bet most of them haven't even watched Citizen Kane.

    So no, that wouldn't be my place to go to for the schedules of my fantasy Film Channel. The list of 1001 movies to see before you die would be better; best still would be a composite of all the critics' 'best 100' lists over the last 25 years.

    Is it just me or do Barry Shnikov and Dreadful Scathe actually talk a different language from the rest of us?

    I think you're being a tad harsh, Citizen Kane is 29th (see top 250) and the votes are only counted for people who regularly vote - thus getting rid of the "your gay" crowd who normally stay on youtube (obviously they will vote for "classics" like "Scary Movie 3").

    Also IMDB is the de facto movie site for professionals donchaknow...

    ...but i think you are right about where to source a "proper" classics list from. Sheer popularity has never been a good measure of a films worth to me, but then even reviews are subjective. Anyone seen "Knocked Up" ? It got great reviews but its the most mind-numbingly boring unfunny "comedy" ive ever seen. You may not be aware of this but "rottentomatoes.com" has a score based on total good/bad reviews from as many proper critics as it can find - ive found it to be a pretty good guide.
