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.

    • When I did a Diploma in Community Studies at Birkbeck College many many moons ago, community was defined a group with common/similar beliefs , people living within a defined geographical area,.
    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say.
