I just absolutely delight in this scene from the movie Ratatouille. The music is perfect, the comic timing spot-on, the camerawork (if you get what I mean) is terrific and the expressions exquisite. If you are not turned onto cooking after this, there is no hope.


Making Soup

Loving this thread, things I've never seen that I now plan to, including Ratatouille!


Bignumber5, the scene where he plays the opera is one of my favourites.


I'm not (that) ashamed to say that I like Dirty Dancing. It has a wonderful soundtrack, including "Cry to me" by Solomon Burke, (the tune in the scene annaj posted) which is one of my favourite songs (although unfortunately a pretty girl has never asked me to dance to it in an effort to get me in to bed). I also had a childhood crush on "Baby".


It was on one night last week, and amazingly it was the first time Mrs Keef had ever seen it!

"I was a wretch headed for a life of drug crime and violence and my Pastor encouraged me to try Stareathon. I struggled at first, but gradually, match by match, I gained the respect of my peers and found my identity. And look at me today. I can make dogs defecate just by staring at them from twenty paces. Stareathon turned me from the dark side. Now I run a thriving dog-walking service. Think again, Bro!"


I have great affection for High Fidelity too D_C, and found so many reasons why I like it when looking for that clip. Amazed that I even went to see it after the sacrilege of having it set in North America rather than North London! As it happens I actually think its one of those rare cases when the film is better than the book.


You have to go a few times round all the blocks of Edinbrugh in order to better the opening of Trainspotting

can't access You Tube from work but here's a few of mine


Pulp Fiction - scene where Vincent takes Mia to his dealer's house after she OD's

Turner & Hooch - scene in car when the mutt and Tom Hanks are on a stakeout and dog is drooling

Goodfellas - 'Shoe shine'/bar altercation

The Exorcist - final exorcism of little girl with the 2 priests

Apocalypto - Jaguar Paw being chased by the other tribe in the jungle

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
