Touch of Evil, A (1958): DVD ~~$24.95~~ $18.70
Talk to Her (2002): Strange, beautiful film, with themes I've never seen before. Loved it.
This Is Spinal Tap (1984): Brilliant spoof – must be one of the first ever mockumentaries. I missed it when it first came out but it stands the test of time really well. Michael McKean rules!
Poseidon Adventure, The (1972): I loved this so much when I was 11 I saw it 4 times at the cinema. Absolute classic disaster movie. The Titanic of its day.
Patrick (1978): Scared the living daylights out of me back in the day (I saw it on the big screen). I still think of it when I take a lift...
Bright Young Things (2003): An appalling piece of directing by Stephen Fry. I think it put him off for good. The story has no rhythm or pace and the characters seem one dimensional; a horrible mess. You can only just see the bones of the story it is based on.
Wrong Man, The (1956): I gather the critics loved this but it was a box office flop and I agree with the audiences. 101 minutes of Henry Fonda looking bewildered was way too much. There's just not enough story to save it.
Funny Face (1956): Mindless plot, undeveloped characters and an utterly implausible romance between the leads equals dud to me. We're also asked to believe that Audrey Hepburn's face is "funny" rather than stunningly beautiful. Paris and the dancing compensate somewha
