Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 (edited) Cheers, Bud! That rant that Willie goes on in that episode had me falling off the bloody seat. That's when I realised The Simpsons were so good. Number 5 is from Golden Gordon, Michael Palin's Ripping Yarns series. He's the die hard supporter of Barnstonworth United, a Yorkshire non-league team very much down on their luck. He comes back from a game and goes off on a rant "Eight one! Eight bloody one!!! Their centre forward wears specs!!!" There's another cracker when his wife is going on about how obssessed he is with the team to the extent "you've even named your son after the team. What kind of a boys name is Barnstonworth?" "He's got another name" "Yes, United!". The only one of Ripping Yarns I ever rememebr seeing. Funny as. Tom, 3 is Full Metal Jacket and 5 is the ever fabulous Shawshank Redemption (and I believe you once had that as your signature). Indeed my own sig is from Bladerunner. However, everyone I know prefers the directors cut whereas I like the one with the voice over. But that's just me, I guess.

Tom McB Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 McB,Did you know that the producers of Butch Cassidy & ... wanted Bob Dylan to sing that song instead of that French fella! Oh Lord NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Doesn't bear examination- Bob's record (no pun intended) with other people's songs is exceedingly patchy. Interesting that you mentioned a French singer- I mentally concurred and googled to get his name- It was BJ Thomas who did the song. Have a keek at him here. Older readers like Ching will recognise the cravat in the photae as the sine qua non of bad taste in the late sixties. Now why do I think that Sach Distel did it? A bit more googling and the it seems that Sacha did cover it. French lyrics here. Dammit I should know No.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingford Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 McB: the cravat in the photae as the sine qua non of bad taste in the late sixties I think that would be an eternal SQN of bad taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingford Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 2. There are two kinds of people in this world……… Dunno the answer, Bud, but it reminded me of this: There are 10 types of people in this country: those who understand binary and those who don't. Hmmm... could make a change of sig, I'm thinking... About time, two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 No the bit after he's made us all jealous and had his wicked way with the ultra-shaggable Jenny Agutter.

Bud the Baker Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 McB, Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head Interesting that you mentioned a French singer- I mentally concurred and googled to get his name- It was BJ Thomas who did the song. I think I used to know that Sacha Distel didn't do the version in the film at one point. Unfortunately I've reached the stage in life where new facts seem to drive old ones from my head.

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 (edited) The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is on some time between Christmas and new Year, as is For A Few Dollars More. Superb films. And some killer lines:- "HEY BLOND!!!!! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE???? JUST A DIRTY SON OF AAAH-AHH-AHH-AHH-AAHH WAH-WAH-WAAAHHHH" Sergio Leone - top man!

Tom McB Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Unfortunately I've reached the stage in life where new facts seem to drive old ones from my head. Yes been there, seen it, done it 2. There are two kinds of people in this world……… (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) Dammit- should have known that Indeed- a film filled with classic lines, Leone was the man for action films in the late sixties- often thought that Peckinpah was OTT- The wild bunch was OK but Straw Dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingford Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 (edited) Straw Dogs, you know - written by a Paisley Buddie, Gordon M Williams? Published under the title: The Siege of Trencher's Farm. Not quite as snappy... And can you see the glaring fault in the title of GMW's first novel, a tense, action-packed thriller? "The LAST day of Lincoln Charles." Somehow I wasn't as much on tenterhooks throughout, as I might have been. I won't give away the ending, but someone dies...

Not quite as snappy... Did you ever read the book? Genuine question-never knew it was based on a book. Sometimes films make a Horlicks of a decent book. Although I thought clockwork orange was a ggod book I thought the film was poor- always wondered if Kubrick's decision to pull the film was due to the stories of tramps being set on fire which the press used against the film or mibies jist than Stan decided it was a poor film.

chingford Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Aye. Still have a dog-eared, paperback copy. Didn't know it was his till I was sitting stunned in a cinema as the credits rolled and I saw the name of the writer. I thought it was (at the time) a mind-blowing movie.

Bud the Baker Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 (edited) Not exactly "Top 5 Lines" but Clint Eastwood's character is named in the first two Dollar's films. Does anyone remember what he is called? Edited December 18, 2004 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingford Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Not that mah heid's totally disappeared up my movie-buff bum, but I don't know if he even had names in the first two Clint Films, as in: REVENGE OF THE CREATURE (Sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon) where he played one of the pilots supposed to bomb/shoot The Creature and... his next wee roles were either in Tarantula or Godiva - neither of which was the eponymous starring role, I think. Which brings me back to your question/quote the other day... There are two kinds of people in this world……… (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) Bearing in mind mah daft sig below, izzat no three kinds in the brackets? ok, did he have a name in the dollar movies? Apart from 'the man with no name'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingford Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 did he have a name in the dollar movies? Apart from 'the man with no name'? Aw aye... Joe - he was called, 'Joe' by most characters in those movies. Never knew that... or remembered it. Despite its title his newest movie is not another spaghetti western in that fine series. It's called Million Dollar Baby - and he trains a wummin prizefighter. Got good reveiws in the US, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
