Zulu is to Sunday afternoon the way Die Hard is to Christmas.

Riddle101

The Great Escape or Magnificent Seven. Or any movies from that era because you never really see movies like that anymore. Good way to enjoy a Sunday afternoon.

Kelly's Heroes was on one of the English channels on Fri evening. Was nicely settled down watching it when we had a bloody powercut. But I'd put money on it that it'll be on again before the end of the long weekend.

All quiet on the western front.

Hedgelayer

Ryan's Daughter is a good long one, even better if you've a top end sound system to get the best cinematic experience....

Lorelli!

Something like Me, Myself and Irene or Jerry Maguire.

War films and Westerns are a good Sunday afternoon choice. Always remember watching Quigley Down Under with Tom Selleck in it one Sunday.

scotchy

Ben Hur on TCM now.

Too nice a day to watch it again though:)

Ger Roe

The Blue Max.

Filmed in Ireland in 1966 and one of several 'flying films' made with assistance from the Irish Army Air Corps. It contains some of the most impressive flying of replica WW1 planes that you will ever see. All done for real, long before CGI effects.

It so impressed LOTR Director, Peter Jackson, that he bought some of the planes built for the film and he has them in his private collection in New Zealand.

"There was no quiet, on the western front"

Where Eagles Dare

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts

I watched Cruel Intentions today. Blast from my teenage past but pretty awful. Ryan Phillippe can’t act and has a big tinkery head on him. I thought that as a teenager when all my friends loved him and I still think it now. However Selma Blair saves the film with her funny performance.

I rewatched that recently. Very enjoyable. Ridiculous plot but does it matter? That film would not be made now.
