Films that have disappeared from our screens

[icestation2]

So Long at the Fair - Dirk Bogarde. Man mysteriously goes missing in Paris. Not a great fan of DB movies but this one is excellent. I would love to see this again.



I don't think it's available on DVD.

With the notable exceptions of A Canterbury Tale and 49th Parallel when was the last time an Eric Portman film was shown ?

[batman]

The Whisperers was on last year.



Daybreak was on a few years ago and Deadfall too IIRC

Yes I'd forgotten The Whisperers was shown on BBC 2's Summer of British Film IIRC

One of Our Aircraft is Missing is on C4 on Thu 19th March 16:35-18:50 and Millions Like Us is on Film 4 on Fri 27th March 13:30-15:25. Both fine films.

Of course, if you were going to complain about the lack of representation for your avatar on tv, you'd have a point!

Thanks to Bats and the Captain I now have an encyclopedic knowledge of EP films on U K tv



I think we'd all welcome more Tod

And of course if Film 4 would show Maria Marten and Crimes of Stephen Hawke, everyone would be happy

Haven't seen Performance for a long time. In fact, I've never seen it. And don't want the opportunity.

Until they see sense and do show him, you'll have to make do with this :

[HIPPIEDAVE]

Perhaps someone should do a post films that SHOULD have disappeared

I think I'll keep well out of that discussion .....

performace occasionally turns up on bbc4 .its worth catching the tv version because its more complete than the vhs version which has a couple of scenes missing . i think the dvd is likewise missing a little bit as well

it was once shown on tv with a little featurette on donald cammel which id like to see again
