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.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
