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...

    • By now you’ve hopefully seen that our main demonstration against Trump’s state visit is in London on Wednesday. Many of you have also asked, though, about how you can help ‘welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. So here’s the plan: We’re asking you to come and line Windsor High Street tomorrow in a peaceful, static protest.  Time: 6pm, Tue 16 Sept Location: Assemble outside Windsor Parish Church, High St, Windsor SL4 1LS and then spread out along the High Street. Grab some cardboard and a pen and make a homemade sign to show Donald Trump and his supporters what you think of them!  The world’s media will be in Windsor to cover the state visit, so showing visually that he is not welcome will send an important message far and wide. If you are coming then please join this Signal chat group for important updates.     Protest safety Please buddy up and come with someone else You have a right to peacefully demonstrate, but we are expecting a high police presence. Remain non-violent and non-confrontational, and do not talk to the police. It may be better to dress inconspicuously, not like an ‘activist’ We plan on ending at 7.30pm. Please leave in groups of 5–10 and make sure you have a bust card This action is entirely legal but we still recommend that you read this key advice when going on a protest to know your rights. Remember:  No comment No personal details Ask ‘under what power?’ No duty solicitor Don’t accept a caution Here is the protest support line: 07946 541 511 and here is more information on Stop & Search under the Public Order Act.   Thank you for being part of the movement against Trump. In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
    • We booked a day when we could drop around 8 bags. They directed us to use the rear entrance on Carver Rd. I would definitely ring as they don’t seem to have much space at the back. Our experience was great, they were very polite and thankful.
