Been watching the BBC's new version of Sherlock Holmes (2010) and 1970's TV series of Hazell (1978) and The Tomorrow People (1973-1978), both looking very dated now.
SH is very good, though. Doubtful you US based people have seen it yet, but is on a region 2 DVD for about £15.

Cat Ballou (1965), starring Jane Fonda, Lee Marvin, Nat King Cole, Stubby Kaye, John Marley.
Marvin won a Best Actor Oscar for his dual role as a drunken gunfighter Kid Shelleen and the main villain, Tim Shawn.
This could've been funnier, but the linking ballad between scenes helps!

Callan 1974. A spin off film from the UK series of the same name, starring Edward Woodward (The Equaliser, Wicker Man) as a dour spy in the seedy underworld of the time in London. Fairly bland, to be honest.

Even though im a Kung Fu nut, and asian film fanatic, I was never the biggest Bruce Lee fan. Though this was his best movie in my opinion (even if the rest of the world favours Enter The Dragon )

It is a cool movie and of course hairy Chuck Norris is a plus I think that The Big Boss and Fist of Fury are also very good.

Chuck Norris' back hair is a welcomed addition to any movie..... Posts: 1278 | From: Denmark,Europe | Registered: Dec 2007 | Site Updates: 3

Released in 1934, with Clark Gable and the beautiful Claudette Colbert. It's a very well made, very funny comedy. It won 5 Oscars in 1935 for Best Actor (Gable), Best Actress (Colbert), Best Picture, Best Director (Frank Capra) and best adapted screenplay, thereby becoming the first movie ever to win all of the 'top five' at the Academy Awards.

I have that movie on DVD, which is part of the "Drive-In Discs" series. It contains two b-movies from the 50's or early-60's, and comes along with intermission ads, trailers, and countdown clocks (like "Only 3 minutes before showtime!"). It is designed to make it look like you were in a real drive-in movie theater! Posts: 3385 | From: Sacramento, California, USA | Registered: Sep 2002 | Site Updates: 0
