Marky You can get the film here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AUHPB/qid=1138474377/sr=1-3/ref=pd_bbs_3/1 02-6889810-2736153?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=130 I even looked it up on the American Amazon Site so the DVD is region 1 that's assuming you actually have a DVD player of course? Most of the reviews are complimentary too and at just $6.99 you can't go wrong, so give it a go, we all saw the 2003 version so naturally you should watch the infinitely superior 1969 classic, Groovy Baby!

No wonder they put this film on every Christmas, it's become a national institution and if your feeling a bit down, watch this because it cheers you up every time. And if your from the USA and will probably never drive a classic, watch it because you may understand our love affair with this amazing machine. Tonight I plan to watch the original Get Carter, I love that too almost as much as The Italian Job, but its a very different film and quite disturbing. In The Italian Job Michael Caine plays Charlie Croker a lovable rogue leading a gang of scallywags, in Get Carter he's a gangster called Jack Carter who travels back to his home town of Newcastle (atmospherically by train with that amazing title music playing) to find out why his brother died and discovers he was murdered by gangsters because he threatened to go to the police after his teenage daughter (or was she Jack's daughter?) was lured into a porn making movie ring and Jack then literally turns into the Terminator and kills just about everybody involved, notably that bloke who used to be in Coronation Street, he gets thrown off the top of the famous Gateshead multi-storey high rise car park and flattens a black Ford Zephyr/Zodiac killing the occupants too, a very brutal movie showing Britain at it's bleakest and so violent it'll turn your blood cold! Look out for all the groovy gals wearing mini-skirts, I love the shot of the dance floor in that dance hall, very evocative of that era. Tomorrow I think I'll watch the Bourne Identity!

Yes well it just goes to prove that crime doesn't pay I guess? And anyway a follow movie was planned, but never made thankfully, well how can you follow that!?

Didn't notice it myself I think I learnt about it from the commentary on the DVD. Cordova Polydactily rules OK P |
