The In Kraut
I'm a big fan of this.....
Edit: maybe US made....????
Very much a US film. The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes are the most admired of Hitchcocks early British films, but I like Sabotage the best.

Did you not see the helicopter crash this week?
Fair enough. Helicopter crashes over the other side of the world. Two feared dead. Not huge.Not really. I was aware that one happened from reading the boards. A helicopter crash in London isn't pressing news here.
That reminds me. The Horse's Mouth is great. Alex Guinness as a twatty artist. Very funny.Not too many comedies mentioned so far. I'll go for The Rebel - Hancock becomes an artist. And the added bonus of the marvellous George Sanders. And also a Clouseau film - again the one with Sanders in it and the scene where he tries to play snooker with a curved cue, A shot in the dark.
Lynne Ramsey, Steve McQueen...Who do people think are the outstanding British directors at the moment? Danny Boyle is hit and miss, imo, although he's had some great 'hits'. Shane Meadows is always interesting even when I don't like his films. Mike Leigh seems less and less consequential to me with every film - genuine . Who else is there? I'm struggling a bit to think of exciting new British directors.
Any recommendations? I'm a bit out of touch with recent cinema.Lynne Ramsey, Steve McQueen...
Lynne Ramsey
Ratcatcher (Ramsey) or Morvern Caller, both of which I really love. Hunger (McQueen).Any recommendations? I'm a bit out of touch with recent cinema.
Ta. Yes, I've seen Ratcatcher and really liked it. Not seen the other two. Will try to watch them.Ratcatcher (Ramsey) or Morvern Caller, both of which I really love. Hunger (McQueen).

Ah, IT Crowd fella. I was wondering about his film. Will watch that too.I'm looking forward to the next film by Richard Ayoade.
You keep reminding me of wonderful films.Good choice.
Another excellent Connery film is The Offence. He does nasty really very well indeed.
Connery was a great actor. What happened?I must see On the Black Hill again very soon. Agree The Offence is really, really nasty
The commentary on Room for Romeo Brass is brilliant, i could listed to Paddy and Shane talk for hoursOh yeah, Shane Meadows. So much aceness. I love listening to him doing commentary on his films as much as watching the films "normally".

Dead Man's Shoes is one of my faves. I truly think Paddy C's performance in that is about as good as it gets.
