Anyone remember this friday night film slot on RTE 1 in the mid 90s.It used to be introduced by this chap with a goatee,i cant remember his name but they used to show some great cult films from the 60s and 70s,like Performance,The wicker man,the devils etc.

I remember it allright. The presenter's name was Brian Reddan

Pop's Diner

Didn't like the presenter. Found him very patronising with his little tidbits of trivia.

I remember this (always after The Late Late/ An Evening Prayer ) is when I first saw Hitchcocks movies. I remember settling down in my sleeping bag to watch The Birds.

He was a right pseudo (whoever he was) That slot was clearly ripping off Alex Cox and his MovieDrome slot on BBC2.

I remember seeing Blade runner on it.And a couple of films that i,d never seen before,like this British film from the 80s with Jeremy Irons as a Polish builder.

That was Channel 4s first film I think - Moonlighting.

Intro to the Last Picture Show and introduction by Brian Reddan is here at the 9 minute mark, the film shown is the Treasure Of Sierra Madre. This is from 1998, it ran a bit longer than I remembered, I thought it finished 1996-ish.

It got me interested in Alfred Hitchcock

The Crowman

I remember that. I used to think it was Ian O Doherty presenting it, did he do something similar?
