way re: John Hughes - heard it on the radio this morning


yeah, rewatched the Breakfast Club again recently with a first timer - I wouldn't go so far as to say I "sided" with the teacher but.. erm... well.. yes.. time hasn't been kind


I forgot about dance sequences in those films as well.

Not classic "feel good" more comedy but I like Happy Gilmour which is brilliant and a soft spot for National Lampoons Vacation films.


Feel good endings - I like True Romance - ends up on a remote beach in Mexico, painting an old boat, with his girl...skint,a few bullet wounds but finally happy.

No it doesn't - almost more bullets than Scarface in it! But I like the idea that after all the violence, drugs he ends up in such peace in the sun - kind of a metaphor that I aspire to...


Also not feel good but watched the brilliant Badlands the other night and it's got the same score as True Romance - I wonder if that was intentional Tarantino referencing...film geeks?

Almost all Audrey Hepburn movies.


I'm another in the Shawshank camp.


Juno is a recent one that made me smile.


Really cheesy old musicals like Calamity Jane, High Society and Oklahoma!.


Some of the better kiddie moves (I'm feeling brave today) like Monsters Inc and the 2nd Shrek film.


Mr Ben and Keef, True Romance makes the list just for the fantastic music in the last scene on the beach - can't hear its life-affirming lilt and pulse and not smile.

Shawshank.


A Knight's Tale. I don't know why, it just makes me chuckle


Shrek, and a few other animated goodies that I am neither young enough nor parenty enough to really get away with


Empire Records. I just love it


And, sorry...


Breakfast at Tiffany's

Grease

Dirty Dancing

The Wedding Singer (joins keef in Drew's fan-club)

Love Actually


...Glad to have got that cleared up, now has anyone seen my testicles? I know they must be around here somewhere...

    • I’m not an expert either but surely having that high of affordable housing would seem like a terrible investment. My guess is that they will pay southwark a fine then make the rest of it student housing too
    • For some strange reason, hubby likes to spend 'big' on family cards birthday and Christmas. I think it may have stemmed from his mother- she equated money with status and was a bit of a snob!  She was also quite eccentric - we asked for a suitcase one year and got a set of 4. One year she gave hubby the equivalent of a hearing aid - it was a device to hear bird song. Nobody we know send expensive cards. We have a twice yearly set of cards from the Foot and Mouth Painting Artists and have done for the last 30 plus years. I think they are around £12 for set of 10  - cannot remember what we paid this winter but they are fantastic value and beautiful paintings.  One of the best places around to buy cards is the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church Barry Road. Fantastic selection with a starting price of £1.30.
    • I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December. 
    • I cannot remember who ran/organised the original ED LETS. They had meetings at the ED Community Centre every so often. I think there were about 20 - 25 people involved.
