Seeing as 1917 is currently flavour of the Month it would be worthwhile looking out a Film from 90 (yes that is 90) years ago All Quiet on the Western Front.

Rear Window is my favourite Hitchcock film by a long way and one of my all time top 10, if not 5. Superb.

There was a remake in 1993, from the same director and starring Keifer Sutherland, Jeff Bridges, Nancy Travis and Sandra Bullock. It is not particularly fondly remembered. I don't know how much of that is it being overshadowed by the original, and how much is it just being poorly made.

Ben Kingsley is absolutely terrifying in it.

The Sure Thing (1985) - John Cusack faces a trip across the States at the end of a college term, with a stuck up female student who can’t stand him. Used to love that movie.
3 lovely Scottish movies from the 80’s, all directed by Bill Forsyth:
Gregory’s Girl - it wasn’t the main story line, it was sweet and funny bits along the way of juveniles in a Scottish new town.
Local Hero
Comfort & Joy - with the brilliant Bill Paterson

Ended up watching this on You tube and found myself agreeing with most of what he said.

Come and See - terrifying ww2 anti-war Soviet picture, but arguably and in fact recognised as one of the greatest war films ever made. Haven’t seen for 30+ years and it left me somewhat scarred by as it’s not an easy watch. Remarkable film nonetheless, remember lots of scenes and sounds vividly.
On a lighter note, another film I loved and haven’t seen since mid 80s is Restless Natives. Why it’s never shown I don’t know, a low budget gem of a picture. Must sit down and see again one day.

Love Gregory’s Girl, I’ve probably watched it more than anything else!
Have you seen “That Sinking Feeling”? Much the same cast as Gregory’s Girl.

And lest we forget, Soylent Green is set in the year 2022, which is now only 2 years away.
A pretty accurate prediction of the future considering it was made almost 50 years ago.
