@Ulf_Othvegin @edwest It's a person showing off their strength. Only an idiot would think this is a normal method of transport.

@SpyLovedMeToo @TFIFridayLIVE @Wahrhaftig @GRCinemaTicket @VHSRevival @TVCollectibles @collegefilm @dazi_lama @Tico_Romao @UlteriousFilm This is the problem with modern music. They just don't write lyrics like that anymore.

@TimeForAFilm I think the railway station story is the best one. I also like the creepy photograph one and the final one.
The murder mystery story is a bit of a dud (relatively). The first story is not bad but you can still feel its childrens TV origins a little.

[Jay @CineEssentials]

@TimeForAFilm I think that look would suit you.

[Jay @CineEssentials]

@TimeForAFilm Bad haircut and bizarre eyebrows. Even Audrey got it wrong sometimes!

@SpyLovedMeToo @dazi_lama @Wahrhaftig @GidgitVonLaRue @Tico_Romao @GRCinemaTicket @UlteriousFilm @JamesBondToday @cinemaofdreams @collegefilm Not his best work!

[Jay @CineEssentials]

@RodneyMarshall1 Of course. Kubrick famously didn't like flying, but I think he basically didn't want to go anywhere. Even Full Metal Jacket was made in East London.

@IanJacklin1 @chrisr0berts1 @DomJBrown @SancastleAir @007 @ITV As I remember it (I could be wrong), it was when they were doing a British film season to accompany a multi-part documentary called "British Film Forever" or something like that.

As you're doing The Mirror Crack'd, I'd like to plug my post on the follow up, Evil Under the Sun, starring Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot:

@Masquerade2376 Very beautiful, such lovely lines. A always appreciate a classic Jaguar.

[Jay @CineEssentials]

@bloke_book But at least Die Another Day is about half hour shorter.

@moore007please The original spoiler-less Esprit in Spy has much cleaner lines than that Turbo though.

Here's a movie quiz for Friday afternoon. 12 films with actors playing cops. It's a bit more difficult than I originally intended, but see how may you can name.

[Jay @CineEssentials]

@GRCinemaTicket Yes, because I'm familiar with the alphabet and know the name of more than one film.

[Jay @CineEssentials]

@moore007please I don't see a similarity, it's just riding gear. Diana Rigg's costume is actually completely different.

I'd like to plug this post on Who Dares Wins (or The Final Option), starring the legendary Lewis Collins. Amazingly, the film is 40 years old this year.

Keanu Reeves was born on this day in Beirut in 1964. The perfect time to check out probably his greatest film, The Matrix:
