I have always wanted to watch this film having heard great things about it but i never got around to it so i'm grateful it was chosen in this walrus. Set in an Italian town shorty after world war 2, a young boy spends his days watching films in the local cinema, where he meets and befriends the projectionist. The projectionist teaches the boy how to operate the projector and the two begin working together. With not much else to do in town, the cinema is packed quiet often, with people even bringing their own chairs. The local priest has a lot of sway and makes the projectionist cut every kissing scene or anything he deems unacceptable from the movie before it's shown to any audience, something which doesn't go down well with them. One night after the audience is kicked out of the cinema, the projectionist decides to project the movie onto a nearby building, whilst doing this the projector overheats and causes a fire, resulting in the projectionists losing his sight. As the boy grows older, he falls in love and must balance his love for cinema and his job with his love for this girl. A beautiful film in so many ways, I'm glad it was chosen
My favourite thing about this movie: So much to choose from but my favourite parts were probably when he was a young kid starting out in the cinema.I really liked the friendship he devolved with the projectionist. Beautiful music too.

Shane finishes with a score of 34 points, is it enough to carry him to victory

It's a Wonderful Life

It does feel somewhat strange watching a Christmas movie in April but this is so wonderful that i didn't mind. It is such a charming movie, starring one of my favourite actors James Stewart as the kindhearted George Bailey. George goes through his life helping others in any way he can, he even puts others needs before his own. He always planned on leaving his hometown of Bedford Falls and travelling the world but something always got in his way. He falls in love with a girl called Mary and the two eventually get married and buy a run down house that they make their own. George often comes into conflict with the mean spirited scrooge-like Mr.Potter who has taking a great dislike to the Bailey family. George's life begins to fall apart and after Mr. Potter twists things to make his life worse, George contemplates suicide. This is when he is visited by an angel who shows him what life would be like without george. One of the all time great films, love this so much
My favourite thing about this movie: So much to choose from but the ending in particular is amazing, one of my favourite movie endings.

Well Done Both

Irish Aris

That was a really great competition reveal, thank you Sawduck!!

And congrats Spook and Shane, you edged it in the end!!

Reberetta

Gratz winners, grazie Sawduck. Two wooden spoons in a row and another coming up tomorrow in Telly Wheels Part 2 for me. I'm on a roll.

I can't remember a lot about I'm Gonna Git You Sucka as I haven't seen it in about 15 years but it's one movie that stuck in my mind as a riot. They have their critics but I like the Wayan brothers.

I watched It's A Wonderful Life for the first time recently and found it sappy, cheesy and a bit dull and silly. James Stewart is always a cool cat however. I gave it a 6/10 in my little black book.

Necro

Cheers for that Sawduck, I knew Trolls was a risk but it's one of the more recent kids movies I genuinely like (despite repeated viewings via the kids )

Delighted it didn't finish last anyways!

Congrats to the winners Shane and Spookie, happy with fourth.

Congrats to the joint spooners too... I erm.. I guess?

Kolido

Great game Ducky, thanks for running. Got some nice movie suggestions from it.

Congrats to Shane spooks, great scoring guys.

As for my own finish, think I redeemed myself in the second half after a poor start.
