The Power of the Dog.
Idris Elba, Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunstable.
Apparently an “ award certainty”.
We will have to see. It certainly reviews above the other load of film “tat”.
What ever became of “ Lassie come home”,
or “ Danny Champion of the world”.
On a deserted island- stranded from anyone else- which single film would you want to have, and ( no, you need to work for this one) and the crucial point….why?
Yes, a SINGLE film.
My choice- “ Where Eagles Dare” ( Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood, et al )
Why- adventure, humour, no swearing in it,
action, and ( as it should be) the good defeats evil.
No criticism is allowed, folks- it’s YOUR choice. Neither can you opt out and say “ oh I prefer music audio.” ( yes so do I but….)
I look forward to the explanations and inner deeper meaning you might throw my/ sorry… OUR way.
PS- have a good week.
Oooo. Hard
Avengers Asemble (aka The Avengers) – jaw dropping CGI, fun, fast paced, and, most importantly, I grew up with this stuff. My childhood was less than ideal, and Marvel Comics were my escape. Seeing a “real” Hulk and his mates really does it for me.

Anya – breathing in deep ( trying to be a hulk )!!
Nah, I’d never be a hulk. I submit, Connie. You get your choice ! Thank you.
There was a she-Hulk…

Anya.
One!!!….you do realise how impossible this is going to be!!!
Ok….deep thought
Casablanca.
Gloriously cast, ultimate love story…and THAT song……
One of the few films i could probably watch on a loop…
….it definitely wouldn’t be castaway!!!!
Grace xx
Another Bogart film, very much like Casablance, but based on Hemenway novel(loosely, thank God) is”To Have and Have Not” I think I prefer Lauren Bacall over Ingrid Bergman, so sultry. Other Bogart films”Key Largo” and” High Sierra” rate high with me.
Kelli is I’m two minds here. The difficulty is deciding which ONE film. Ah yes, Anya knows how to “get the best” from fans !! ” To Have And Have Not” is a winner with me, Kelli. Thank you.
Grace chooses Casablanca – this could be an award winner, Grace.
Anya, ONE film???? You’ve killing me girl!
Casablanca.
Bogey, Bregman, Rains, Geeenstreet, the rest of a phenomenal cast at the absolute peak of their abilities.
The story, the intrigue, the unrequited love, the warm hearted saloon owner. The song …. “you must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is jus a sigh”I’ve watched 30 or 40 times, will watch it again when it comes around.
Jillian
Great minds think alike, Grace
Confession – I watch Where Eagles dare every January just to hide that ” party over” feeling.
A major stepping stone for Mr Eastwood, of course.
Anya
Jillian,
Well I did warn you. You clearly have not heard of ..
“Killing Anya” ( UK TV hit)
“Anya only live once”. ” Anya get yer gun”. “Anya could see for miles and miles”
“Anya’s Great Gables” or if Grace only knew the truth…
“Anya’s Gone With The Wind”
But I still go for Where Eagles Dare.
Ho Ho
😅
Hi Anya,
Blazing Saddles.
A laugh a minute, laugh out loud movie, even when you’ve watched it a zillion times and you know exactly what’s coming up next.
Marti xxx
probably got more kids to eat baked beans than any Heinz advertising campaign!!!!
Grace, you have class. I was wondering how to remark upon those breezy beans.
Marti,
Just one word – AGREED!
Classic!
One film? ONE Anya??!! That’s like asking a crossdresser to pick ONE pair of panties…. wait let’s not go there, lol.
For sheer war movie entertainment I have to go with Kelly’s Heroes. Star studded cast and damn funny, but if for no other reason: Oddball. Imho Donald Sutherlands funniest, greatest roll ever 🤣
Special mention must be given to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Stevie
Even Stevie has two bites at the cherry! Where are your principles, my girl? I thought I would have no wavering from your honourable self ! BUT your why answer is spot on. Sutherland is a class actor.
As for the panties, Stevie, – no contest – burgundy.
See? Its as easy as that. ( besides I only have one pair …..” all together now…. aaawwwww”.
Anya ( you have some great films, folks, keep the “momentum” going… hang on … is that another film?”
PS – No Matrix fans out there? ( No, I didn’t understand it either… that’s why they are having another go !!!)
Hey… “Gone with the wind” – and you have escaped the deserted island !!!!!!
Stevie,
Even principals have principles – I believe a nibble is the onset of a bite.
PS – Do you know the definition of old age?
It’s when your teeth and your gums no longer sleep in the same bed.
I suspect that might be contentious, so I apologise profusely.
see, I’m older and …. slowly…. getting wiser.
Time to let you folks take the reins – …….( Gladiator ? )
Stevie….
When the tank broke down….
Oddball: I only ride em I don’t know what makes em work.
Brilliant🤣🤣
Love that movie Stevie, I watch it at least once a year, what a cast and yes Oddball. World war 2’s first hippy. Again with negative waves Moriarity.
Grace and Jillian have the lead.
( closely followed by Stevie – for being so diverse – and Anya ( if only to keeper quiet!)
Perhaps the midnight rush will throw some more ideas into the cauldron.
Am I the only one to have seen ” Danny Champion of the World”?
Only one, well I’ve got to go with Forest Gump, what doesn’t it have. Love story, adventure, history, life lessons and a great sound track. That whole cast should have got Oscar’s for that one.
My vote is for “Casablanca”. Some critics have called it the best movie ever made, and they may be correct. A star-studded cast, and surely the most-quoted movie ever made. I misplaced my copy, and can’t recall them all, but people still recognize “Play it again, Sam”, “Round up the usual suspects”, and “We’ll always have Paris”.
