So many particulars. So many questions.
All I can remember about Civil War is Thurfir Hawat is in it and the anarchos have taken portland.
Silas Loom
Man with glasses
Maoists, not anarchos.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle
Saw this forgotten early '70s robbery flick mentioned on some Youtube film channel and bought the DVD.
Robert Mitchum, the other Sandman from Logan's Run and Peter Boyle.
Gritty, bleak and captures that grim look of early '70s USA.
Grim, but I liked it.

It is indeed. Top late career piece of work from Mitchum

They Live
A decade before The Matrix, John Carpenter made this beauty - a kind of "wake up sheeple" paranoid sci-fi b movie.
An enjoyable cheesy action flick with dollops of anti-capitalist sentiment. Although the fighting is more wrestlemania than martial arts bullet time.

The great What's up, Doc? on BCC 2 on Sunday at 15:20. So that's may Sunday afternoon sorted.
iPlayer one over Christmas I reckon. (Last time I looked, there were a lot of decent films on there.)

More Alex Garland, this time Men. I think I would have bought into it completely, except perhaps for the last ten minutes, were it not for the carping spouse next to me asking what the fuck all this was supposed to be about, and why we were wasting an afternoon watching it, and why these cheapskates were reusing Rory Kinnear for so many roles instead of paying Equity rates for a full cast.

The Dark Man, a 1951 British noir mostly shot on location on the south coast - Hastings, Camber Castle and Dungeness (pre nuclear power station) all feature. The titular character murders two people and then pursues the only witness. The camera doesn’t mind lingering on the rather attractive witness, played by Natasha Parry, one scene with a flowing dress as she gets on a bus stands out. Later on there’s some snazzy editing as the killer spies on her on a beach. The finale is pretty good - a chase across the firing ranges and the Dungeness landscape, the director must have had some military connections due to the equipment and manpower used.
Despite its plot limitations, quite fun especially if you know the locations.

The Roaring Twenties
One of the greatest gangster films. Raoul Walsh directs the rags to riches tale from 1939. Cagney and Bogart again with a superb supporting role by Gladys George.
An influence on Once Upon a Time in America and the Godfather, possibly.
