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

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
