This is my absolute all time favourite. I hope you have seen the directors cut as it's about an hour longer than the released version and only adds to the story.


PS I refer to Cinema Paradiso

Final scene in merry christmas mr lawrence with Tom Conti and Beat Takeshi...


Scene in Smoke where the "short story" has Tom Waits 'Innocent When You Dream' playing


Most of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset


Oh - and Beautiful Girls - with Tim Hutton, Uma Thurman, Natalie Portman and whole lot more

What about Watership Down? When I was a kid it was one of those films that the folks would put on for the kids to watch to keep them occupied when they were bbqing or having diner parties or whatever suburban parents did in the 80s. I don?t think they ever watched it themselves they just thought it was a happy happy cartoon about bunnies.


In reality it emotionally traumatised a whole generation of kids.

Hear hear Brendan

I watched it in exactly such circumstances. Very sad. But also really scary! What's that really tough old rabbit- Sergeant or something that is in charge of the prison camp warren or whatever it is that they get stuck in.

That is one scary rabbit.

and of course bright eyes at the end to make you cry

Declan - I've seen three or four cuts of Cinema Paradiso, and I think the shorter one is by far the best; I really don't like the one where he goes off to find the girl. Isn't it supposed to be about how life doesn't provide answers? The stroy Alfredo tells about standing outside the girls house for 99 nights is the same thing.


Fantastic date movie tho. Guaranteed.

    • A town square would be nice. Perhaps we could pedestrianise North cross Road and create a square at the junction of Lordship Lane. Can't imagine there would be any objections / controversy.  This is probably true, but the issue is not so much the level of the rent, but the degree to which it is sustainable in the context of the local market. The Landlords locally do seem to have squeezed rents to the point where places can no longer survive in many cases. Think the furore was largely manufactured tbf.
    • https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14774205/Urgent-warning-opioid-deaths-Met-Police-pills-heroin-nightclubs.html?ito=email_share_article-top   I'm sharing this article to help to spread the word about these new deadly synthetic opioids called Nitazenes which are finding their way onto the drug scene.  Two more young lives lost last weekend in young people at a South London club.    Most people I talk to have never heard of Nitazenes which are being used as contaminants in a number of other drugs including sleeping pills like valium and Xanax, oxycodone but have also been found in vapes and sedative antihistamines and cocaine.  So people buying sleeping tablets and other substances have no idea of the risk they are taking.  This is a relatively new trend and the number of deaths is on the increase.  Do discuss it with your teenagers and young adult children and anyone you know tempted to purchase sleeping tablets online.  It really is a much more dangerous and potentially lethal time to buy tablets online or on the street and hopefully knowledge of Nitazenes can help people protect themselves.  This stuff is in London and no doubt, is already in Dulwich so do spread the word.     
    • The link is showing the real link to the East Dulwich Forum that Joe on here set up.  https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DanoiLd48/?mibextid=wwXIfr East Dulwich Mums is my group and is not a spin off from this group. I have no connection to the other EDF Facebook group and nor do I promote any cleaning services. My group is very well run thank you and your information is incorrect.  No, that is the new Facebook group that the admin on here has set up.  Joe does need to turn the settings on that group to pre approval for all posts as there is a lot of posts on there that isn’t relevant.
