    might start going to the theatre good place to take abird me thinks. Never heard of any of them just read the plays in school thought they was good

    The Long and The Short and The Tall was amazing a really great play.

    I really dont like Shakespeare his stories albeit good are too long winded and get boring and his lanugaue used is a total turn off. Just not my kinda stuff

    Steinbeck is a great write love his stuff, Hemingway read alot of quotes (funny ones) and he pops up alot very funny guy.

    cheers i'll have a look for them, i have Godfather part 1 just never watched it yet

    its intresting stuff McVey

    why?

    Gladiater is an amazing film wathced it when i was about 8 and i thought it was great.

    I like alot of gangster films especially The Untouchables and Scar face.

    Never really watched a cowboy film

    im trying to get The Wrestler and Grand torino at the momet which are supposed to be class

    also anyone seen Scum that is a great film

    Taxi drivers good - you talking to me

    also speaking about De Niro raging bull

    anyone ever seen American Gangster started watching it but it was quite boring to start with

    as for sitcoms i used to sit in font of a TV watching Porridge and Only Fools they are classics, also i love mr Bean

    do you like the Sweeney?



    also got FNR4 today its good im just starting to get good i had a war with Ray Leonard and i was Hearns i stopped him in the 9th a great fight with a brutal KO.

    I find the slipping punches and inside fighter very difficult but ill get used to it

    You made me like the thread because when i logged in today and saw your conversation it was really interesting to read.

    Yeah i didn't list the gangster films cos you'd know which ones i mean, like Scarface etc, the timeless ones. Gran Torino is good, the Wrestler as well. When i was about 19 i thought i'd seen all the mafia/gangster classics, so i wanted to get into something else that's a real man's thing, like Wildlife programmes or something, one name, CLINT EASTWOOD, three films- 'Fistful of Dollars', 'Few Dollars More', then the cream- 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'. Quentin Tarantino said it was his favourite film ever, and you can clearly see they are a predecessor to his type of work.

    You'll see them in time mate, watch them in that order though.

    Yep, they are the 'Leone westerns' I was referring too, quality stuff. Tarantino loved Rio Bravo and Taxi Driver too, in a biography of his he lists his ten favourite films.

    If anyone likes Tarantino read Ellmor Leonard books, they're his biggest influence apparently.

    gran Torino was **** hot I thought :good

    Who was it, Teeto, that said he liked "Unforgiven"? I'm not real big on Westerns, but that's my # 1 of all time. Also, I like most of John Wayne's movies, "The Man who shot Liberty Valance", is a great one. And Mcvey, mentioned a lot of great films, too. "Treasure of the Sierra Madre," definitely, and other Bogart flicks, Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, and I liked the boxing flick, The Harder They Fall... On the Waterfront is probably one of my top picks, It's a Wonderful Life, and of the more recent classics, most things by Scorcese, DeNiro, Pacino, and I like Hoffman too... A couple more obscure ones of these guys'... The King of Comedy, Scarecrow and Midnight Cowboy.

    Just wanted to throw my 2 and a half cents into the pot...
