Anyone remember those times when you used to rush into school eager to discuss a film you'd just seen at the cinema or on the tv the night before. I'd be interested to know which movies you all talked about.These were obviously the days before video and multi-channel tv. It would also be interesting to get an idea of the popular genres of the time - in my case westerns and war films and male/female variations as well as different generations. Of course there were also whispered discussions about a sexy actress and a flash of female flesh.
Anyway here's a few to start off.
British
Where Eagles Dare
Village of the Damned
Any Norman Wisdom movie
Zulu
Kes
Non British
The Great Escape
The Magnificent Seven series of movies
Man from Uncle movies
Kellys Heroes
The Towering Inferno
Ahhh! If only the grey matter would let me....The only thing I can remember discussing at schol was Monty Python and what we'd all like to do to the new student history teacher......god! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] Regards, Decks.
My school days coincided with the advent of home VCR's and explosion of High Street rental stores so most lunchtime conversations revolved around what video 'nasties' we'd managed to see (It was similar to an episode of The Young Ones called Nasty).At the time Vipco were king, we'd often hire a film based solely on the cover and if there was an age limit non of the rental stores abided by it. The Government soon latched onto this and by the early 80s we had the DPP nasty list.
Most were utter tosh but one title stuck with me. The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue wasn't the Mancunian inner-city zombie fest I expected but some badly dubbed actors (accents from all over the shop) running around the scenic Peak District from the undead. (the bit that sticks in my mind is a topless women running about in Manchester.. for no apparent reason)
On the subject of childhood days this cracks me up: Rainbow
At our school it was PINK PANTHER films and the new chimstry teacher - a Kate-Bush-a-like. A tiny thing who we lads (for some vague, forgotten reason) always encouraged to lean over the front of our desks when we were 'stuck'... blush</div><div class='quotemain'>Ahhh!
