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...

    • Yep CRP Dave. It reminded me of Jess Phillips a couple of weeks ago, when the grooming gangs enquiry started going tits up.  It's not very statesman-like to lose your shit like that in the chamber. It's one unedifying display after another. 
    • no need to be snipey mulumbo - just trying to understand what you want to achieve - if you have what you need great - no need to be ungrateful or unkind
    • He should be. His behaviour has been appalling. Refusing to comply with a Speaker's request to come back to the HoC and explain himself shows utter contempt to parliament and the electorate. If he had any any integrity he would resign. Nothing to do with the prisoner, but all to do with his arrogance and contempt. This Labour party don't have any integrity at all though. We are two weeks away from the Chancellor of the Exchequer breaking a fundamental manifesto commitment. Breaking promises like demeans the entire contract between voters and MPs. If she doesn't resign for breaking those promises (she won't) then all manifesto promises going forward have to also be treated as lies, not worth the paper they are written on.  She should have already resigned herself for the breaking the law over her failure to register as a landlord. They are an absolute disgrace. And whilst all this farce plays out in Downing St where the fuck is the Prime Minister? Nowhere to be seen, unanswerable to the public about this disgraceful shambles.
    • That's a shame. I tried to take my car there for an a/c issue a couple of times this summer but they seemed to be closed on both occasions so I gave up in the end. Hopefully they'll enjoy their retirement proceeds from selling their site to a property developer! The garage in Upland Road (Pitstop) is good for servicing and repairs. Kwik fit in Grove Vale is also good and they do the diagnostics tests too.
