Watched The Hunt last night, excellent film. Danish film starring Mads Mikkelson, it's about a teacher who gets accused by a very young girl of sexual abuse, and how it affects his life and how everyone in his small community reacts.

Fascinating character study and look at how rumours can snowball and get out of hand. Dark stuff but very well handled and it makes you think.

Saw The Great Escaper this afternoon. Michael Caine as the old veteran who does a runner from his care home to attend the D-Day commemorations in Normandy.

Film's decent if unspectacular, but Caine and Glenda Jackson might get an acting nod.

Just settling in with a bottle of red and Good Morning Veitnam. Robin Williams at his absolute best, Forrest Whittaker. Must be 10 years since I watched this. Happy Sunday folks.

I like most of Robin Williams films, but that's one I just couldn't get away with.
I've tried a few times to watch it, but never get past half way.

I like the owld Basil Rathbone, Sherlock Holmes’s films. In fact most old black n white films I prefer, it’s the accents and atmosphere of them and not too over complicated acting.
I might be a bit weird like.

No not at all, some great black and white films , watched The Maltese Falcon, Key Largo, The Big Sleep and Treasure of the Sierra Madre , a few times and still enjoy them , guess who I am a fan of. <laugh>
I like Kurt Russell as well , under rated actor imo. As said above The Thing is a classic way ahead of its time.
