📽 Movies
• Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels by Guy Ritchie (rec'd by tob)
Hilarious crime comedy starring both Jason Statham and Vinnie Jonmes (holder of the fastest red card in futbol EVER) in their film debuts.
Sting has a minor role (not as a Police officer). DAnny John-Jules (the cat from Red Dwarf) also has a small role. A screaming laugh riot of criminal error.
• The taste of tea by Director: Katsuhito Ishii (rec'd by gef)
This is my top movie. Containing everything Japanese, from the remote living, to this strange surrealism, hypnosis, go playing, tea drinking...
• Withnail and I (rec'd by rat)
it's an actual classic; every scene, every line, is memorable
• Zulu by Michael Caine, et al (rec'd by jwh)
Great war movie. Early Caine, before he was a superstar. If you search "zulu caine" on youtube, i think you will find lots of vids reviewing this film.
