anything that's got Ewan McGreggor in it has to be good


I suspect that Angels&Demons will test that statement even more than the new Star Wars films did ;-)


I'd have to join Annasfield on The Spy Who Loved Me - the Union Jack Parachute moment is a pretty special, as is the speed boat chase from The World Is Not Enough. But then the opening sequence became such a big part of the Bond Cocktail that it's to be expected that they've put together a few good 'uns.


I think I'd like to add the opening sequence in Gladiator, which is pretty decent. Immerses the viewer into the period in quick-time, and great action.


On a less ballistic note, the deserted street and quiet score that open Breakfast at Tiffany's always make me smile.

Predictably,considering my moniker, I'll go for the opening to Goodfellas: Ray Liotta 'For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a gangster' followed by Tony Bennet's 'Rag to Riches'. I think Joe Pesci's psychotic Tommy DiSimone was the template for many 'hardmen' in films afterwards including Kingsley's. I don't think I had ever seen anyone that genuinely scary in a film before. Nearest thing to that was Paul Betthany in Gangster no 1, which was a very underrated film.

      Electrician recommendation: Electrical Initiative Ltd

      By Max S · Posted

      Another recommendation for Electrical Initiative. Leon is professional friendly efficient and an extremely reliable electrician. He sorted out my garden outside light last year and I didn't hesitate to use him to replace my noisy bathroom extractor fan which kept the bathroom cold in the winter. Leon recommended a lovely new fan which has shutters and is silent. My bathroom is warmer and I am very happy with my new extractor fan.

      Major Incident?

      By Tipsyleprachauns · Posted

      It means nothing of the sort Penguin. It simply means that wherever that TSG van was when they got a call to somewhere else, that road was the most efficient and quickest way to get from where they were to where they needed to be. Said as someone who drives frequently on blue lights in this area and has had absolutely no issues caused by any changes in road layouts. I have elsewhere, but not in this patch.

      You would think by now people would be more media savvy but no “it’s lead story on bbc!” Like that means anything in 2025 in what sane world would a teams be entitled to 36k for a petty oversight like this.  Absolute binfire of a reaction
