I have not seen it before and I was a bit disappointed, I found it rather uninvolving, predictable and lacking any tension. The one thing that did intrigue me was the title, There is Another Sun. What does it mean, where did it come from is it a quote from somewhere ?

I understand the the film was first released in 1951 and did not do very well at the box-office, but it was re-released in 1953 with the title Wall of Death and did much better but I would still like to know where the original title came from. ]]> Ask a Film Question Hugo http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/ask-film-question/114987-there-another-sun.html http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/ask-film-question/114981-stanley-baxter-pow.html Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:26:24 GMT I remember a film (early 60s?) in which Stanley Baxter played a POW who looked the same as the Camp Commandant, so he impersonated him in order to...

A road warrior vigilante movie with a Bacccrarruder and a killer punch line at the end. The killer has allsorts of bits replaced.


But I can't remember which film features a running joke about replacement limbs and bits dropping off. I seem to remember its a bit Ripping Yarns-ish. Brazil-ish.

Any ideas.

Given that Close Encounters of the Third Kind The Special Edition came out in the cinema and on video,Laser Disc,DVD and Blu Ray.

Here comes my baffling question :lol: :(


How come Close Encounters of the Third Kind The ( 1977 Theatrical Edition) NEVER got released officially on Home Video ANYWHERE in the world ? :confused:



Several versions of CE3K have been released over the years since 1980....


The Criterion Collection 3-disc Laserdisc released in 1990 featured both the 1977 Theatrical & 1980 Special Edition cuts.

A final version of "Close Encounters" was released to video in 1998 (and then on DVD in 2001) as "The Collector's Edition". It is basically Spielberg's final 137-minute re-edit of the original version plus some sequences from the 1980 "Special Edition"

As of 2013,All Theatrical cuts of the film on Laserdisc,DVD and and Blu Ray does indeed include the Original 1977 version but this also included a '1980 Special Edition shot' of a shadowed spaceship flying over Roy's truck at Steven Spielberg request.

So we never really got a 1977 Theatrical cut on Laserdisc,DVD or Blu Ray release either.:(

I got to see Close Encounters of the Third Kind in 1977 on it's first run in the cinema and thank goodness I did. ]]> Ask a Film Question Amethyst_Isle http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/ask-film-question/114914-close-encounters-third-kind-1977-edition-baffling-question-ask.html http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/ask-film-question/114904-fall-2013-5-part-series-bbc2.html Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:42:27 GMT I was watching an old repeat showing of James Bond A BAFTA Tribute and afterwards there was a trailer for this 5 parter on BBC2. *The Fall* is an... I was watching an old repeat showing of James Bond A BAFTA Tribute and afterwards there was a trailer for this 5 parter on BBC2.

The Fall is an upcoming British crime-drama series created by Allan Cubitt. The series stars Gillian Anderson as Stella Gibson, a senior police officer investigating a string of murders in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The Fall is being produced by Artists Studio and will air on BBC Two in Early 2013


Has this been shown on BBC2 yet ?

I really love watching films like Four Lions and Sightseers where there's comedy around a dark story.


Some of my favourites at the moment are: Steve Oram, Michael Smiley, Tony Way, Kayvan Novak & Greg Davies.


Be good to hear about other people's, and good films/shows to check out.

Is it this actress who has died "unnoticed" by the mainstream media, or has she set this page up for a deceased relative?

He also acknowledges juvenalia, his amateur early films 1956 The Web and 1958 Field of Red.
There is no mention of his 1963 Central Office of Information film The Controllers, about air traffic controllers (released on DVD on "British Air Traffic Control 1963-1973).
I found out he directed several more films according to several websites.
1962 - Dust Fever - a western according to BFI
1979 - Strindberg - August Strindberg was the subject of his 1994 film The Freethinker, did he attempt to film this earlier ? (CITWF database)
1991 - The Media Project - an Australian documentary according to IMDb
? - Coup D'Etat - a Danish film according to BFI
None of these films are mentioned on Peter Watkins own website, did they actually get made ? or were they completed and not shown ?
Does anyone know anything about these ? ]]> Ask a Film Question philly http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/ask-film-question/114813-peter-watkins.html
