I can't say that Robin Hood would be on my list and I think I'd pass on A Matter of Life and Death because it is shown quite frequently on tv here in the UK. Anne, I've not yet seen Boys on the Side and Prince of Darkness and I must confess to falling asleep 10 minutes in to The Usual Suspects but it would definitely be on Martyn's list, he loved it. True Romance, haven't seen that yet either Ian, might try and get it from the video shop this weekend. *One google later* - it's a Tarantino film! Which reminds me that Pulp Fiction should be on the list. I'll definitely try and see True Romance then, cheers. Ah Huwge the rugby, of course!

The film, therefore, generates feelings on so many levels - none of which are related to the actual screenplay / visual experience. I might just be tempted to trade RH for The Sea Hawk - I do love to buckle my swash and Errol is a king of the genre :) You could always trade “A matter of life & death” for “The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp” or any other Powell & Pressberger - “Peeping Tom,” “Black Narcissus” and “Red Shoes” are all great.
