Ilkley online community

I would reccomend;
Les Yeux Sans Visage, Once Upon a Time in America, Letter to Brezhnev, Belleville Rendezvous, Blood Simple, The Big Lebowski, Heimat, Seven Samurai, Bleak House (BBC TV series) & Taxi Driver. For starters.

Interestingly (or not) there is an ilkley connection with Funland, the very good BBC series about the seedy underbelly of..er.. Blackpool.

The Lives of Others

La Cage aux Folles (the French original - not the naff Robin Williams remake)

Black Book

Me, You and Evryone We Know

Gypo

Sleeping Dogs Lie

Starter for 10

These have all been fantastic films rented recently. We've also had a lot of dross but I'll not mention those.

Two Days in Paris
Sunshine
Control
Once
The Fountain
The Illusionist
The Last King of Scotland
The Science of Sleep
Pan's Labyrinth
The Prestige
Thank you for smoking

Oh yes - The Last King of Scotland - very good, though my nipples will never feel the same again!

Two days in Paris was very funny too.

With Squiffy Manor having been the location of many a period drama, The Brigadier has become something of a film buff himself. Many's the time the Manor has been teaming with buxom wenches in period costume, bosoms heaving as they frolic and romp with the Lord of the Manor. (Of course I tell them to leave when the film crews arrive)

I would heartily recommend anything by the Coen Brothers as a stsrting point to anyone's film education. Also Control - story of Ian Curtis of Joy Division.

What's the ilkley connection with Funland then? (Well someone had to ask). Sarah Smart is high on my 'Would' list. Cheryl Campbell is an ex-number one on the list and is still bubbling under.

I too am in the Amazon club, 6 DVDs a month

If you've got a sense of humour try Chasing Amy.

Elvis, is seven samurai the film that 7 golden vampires was loosely based on?
American werewolf in London, old but brilliant

Children of Huang Shi. part dubbed but worth watching
