Hi, I'm Italian and I know that our movies suck, so I obviously enjoy European film. I found this site while I was searching for some really rare VHSs. :)

Hello All.

I discovered this forum when I was seeking some background information about the TV series 'Minder'.

Hi I found this site while browsing for 'Liza Minnelli films', I know she's not very british but she's a favourite of mine!

Just thought I'd introduce myself to the group (forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place but I'm used to Yahoo Groups and it's all a bit different), I've been a massive fan of 'old' movies since I was a kid and first saw 'Penny Serenade', definetly the best teer jerker ever!!!

My tastes ahve changed a bit now that I'm older, I'm more into anything featuring Phil Daniels and Ray Winstone...what a mix!

Any way, looking forwards to getting to know the group!

Hi I've just tripped across this marvellous site, what a joy to elderly movie and TV buffs like my husband and I. We live in the middle of Exmoor so never get to the cinema these days, but belong to a DVD library which keeps our postman very busy trudging up our steep drive with endless DVDs. We've just finished watching the first lot of the Alan Bennett monologues, brilliant stuff.

Really Narau, how can you say Italian movies suck. I'm sure you're just being modest about your countrymen. One of my favourite movies of all time is Life is Beautiful.

Anyway being wrinklies we have a huge list of favourites, my husband's is Oh Mr Porter, so you can tell he's mad, mine for most of my life was Gone With the Wind but that's been knocked off top spot by Gladiator which I could watch every day of the week without getting bored of it.

We both think that there's never been a bad film made about boxing, so if anyone know of one we'll try it. We've got Triumph of the Spirit on order from the DVD library which sounds great. Cinderella Man and Million Dollar Baby are two recent favourites.

I think there have been some superb Italian movies ... Ossessione is one of my all-time favourite films.

Great choice, this is the finest British film comedy!

You certainly live in a beautiful part of the British Isles - Mrs C and I spent our honeymoon at Withypool.

Welcome to the site

Young Liza starred in a fine British film CHARLIE BUBBLES, with Albert Finney (who directed the film). Have you seen it ? Did you like it ?

STEPPING OUT (d Lewis Gilbert) is kind of British, but made in Toronto.....
but discussion of the rest of Liza's career really belongs on another forum !

You could also discuss her mum's role in I COULD GO ON SINGING (UK, 1963) , with Dirk Bogarde.....

We live in Withypool!!! What a small world. Where did you stay?

Hello UK film world.

Odd coincidence, the first member I saw on the site was John Audley, from Scarborough, in which magical place I spent the first twelve years of my life. I live in Ireland now, but Scarborough would still be my favourite spot. I am a television documentary maker. I spent my first ten years in the BBC, radio and then television, working on Late Night Line-up and then most of my working life living in the hills outside Manchester as a free-lance, mainly working for Granada.

When Gerry Robinson, 'the good natured carpenters son from Donegal' pitched up and destroyed the place, I decided to move away. I was in my fifties and decided against Scarborough on the grounds that, apart I am sure from John Audley, everybody seemed older than me. The house I was brought up in was now a small retirement home, Yorkshire were playing a match on the cricket ground, that is to say the cricket ground where you had to queue for an hour to get a seat when I was a boy, and there were about as many spectators as players. Neither omen seemed good and for a variety of reasons, professional and personal, I wound up in Ireland.

I am now just passing the point that is normally considered retirement age, but still making a precarious living as an independent, much of it for RTÉ

There you are. That's me.
