    I mentioned Schindlers List in my first batch of films (post 11), probably my favourite film. Superbly shot, the b&w really adds to the mood, superbly cast, and acted. The little girl in the red coat....I thought that was a brilliant idea to do that. Without the red coat, she would have been just another body on the cart as it went past, probably wouldn't have even noticed her.
    I would imagine it would have been quite a harrowing film to make, or to have been involved in.

    I like a good confusing film that is explained at the end. over the past 10 years or so, some film makers have gotten a little lazy, male a hugely confusing film,don't explain it then it just ends. The Internet and "leave it up to the fans" has spoiled it.

    Update for my list

    Joker. (cinematography is outstanding)
    80s Hanks-
    The Burbs
    The Money Pit

    Certainly was, particularly for some holocaust survivors who were advisors for the film. Ralph Fiennes turning up in his SS getup scared the **** out of them apparently.

    On film music, Hans Zimmer, winner of Oscars for his music for the Lion King and Dune, was hired by BMW to create the sound for their new electric cars.
    This is true.

    I used to love that. Streebeck and Friday.

    I believe Dragnet was sandwiched between The money pit and burbs. Done well in the 80s and 90s did Tom

    His soundtrack to Gladiator is epic. Gives me goosebumps.

    Sad news I discovered this morning, the animation studio that brought us the Ice Age films has closed for good, but they released one final clip.


    For any that have seen and enjoyed the ice age films, its a great send off
