Psycho – try it for free if you dare ( minus the fookin adverts) this filum is nervous yards ahead of any other. Shot in shocking black and white and 50 years ahead of its time it greatly affected the life of Anthony Perkins as he got full into character. He unwittingly became Norman Bates.
I rather love threads that no-one responds toNorman ?
It’s the right answer !
I had a small part in Towering Inferno – it was a crap film and I was crap as an extra. Plot killed it. Steve McQueen and Paul Newman were after each others throats but both died on screen. Fred Astaire couldn’t dance his way out of this huge humanitarian crisis.
Have to say I loved the red carnation in his lapel and he smiled a lot. Well done Fred but sorry you and I were there.A friend of mine thinks Shane was the best western ever made. I love his enthusiasm so always let him prattle on. I think people that love filum should love filum. If you need to stand on a shoe box it doesn’t matter.
I was an extra in Game of Thrones, a mercenary soldier in the Golden Company. 150 of us spent 3 days learning how to march and dress; filmed for a day, were onscreen for ~10 secs before a dragon scorched us to death
Maximum respect to both of you – great anecdotes.

I feel “Filum” hasn’t had the credit as a thread title it deserves.
It took me back (and I like being taken back).

I watched a tape of Blue Velvet last night a filum I had never seen. I was in a contorted shape in the chair as I was suffering a bout extreme excruciating nerve pain last night but it strangely, slightly heightened the experience on the menace.I would put Sunday Bloody Sunday in the Blue Velvet class. Unusually intriguing and a slightly confused ending which left you guessing until the detective turned up at the end. That was me by the way.
I loved Blue Velvet.
But then I liked Red Rock West, the TV series Twin Peaks and Wild At Heart.
I was very into that whole David Lynch/Nick Cage/Dennis Hopper thing way back when.

Age has mellowed me.
A tiny bit.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"The filum was on the menace last night and brought back some nostalgic memories – I was in Broadstairs soaking up the afternoon sun ☀️ whilst on holiday 😎 back in the swinging sixties that so many searched for and couldn’t find. I looked a bit like a 🦞 flat out on display and on a white slab (the sands) in an upmarket wet fish ship – so decided to ditch the sun and go indoors and visit Mrs Robinson for a bit of suncream and brutal aftercare.
The Graduate – A high point in filum – unforgettable !

Benjamin lies in bed with a drink in his hand as Mrs. Robinson leaves the room. Benjamin smokes and opens a blind. He goes outside and dives into the pool.The song was written in 1964 while Paul Simon was in England. Its lyrics use the changing nature of the seasons as a metaphor for a girl’s changing moods. The inspiration for the song was a girl that Simon met and the nursery rhyme she used to recite, “Cuckoo”. It is the shortest song on the album.
April she comes
I’ll never forget seeing Eraserhead for the first time late one night on tv. I woke my daughter up. She came downstairs and we watched it in silence. When it ended she said ‘thank you for that mother’ and went back to bed. We never spoke about it again. In retrospect I inflicted some terrible things on my children.
I remember seeing Zardoz. I can’t remember much about it except Sean
Connery had a pony tail and ran around in a loin cloth.
I bought the dvd of Zardoz. I saw it at the cinema when it first came out. I rather liked it,especially the bit at the end with Connery and Charlotte Rampling with Beethoven’s something or other playing. I lent it to my daughter and son in law and they thought it was rubbish. Then again they think The Exorcist is ‘funny’ ( I’m still traumatised by it;if a clip of it pops up on tv I panic and have to run out of the room…). I’ve never watched Blair Witch as I think that might have the same effect on me.
Me and my son spent ages discussing Donny Darko. We were both thrilled when the music from it made no 1 in the charts.
That reminds me – I was at university (shared accommodation, in fact) with the saxophonist from Mummy Calls, responsible for “Beauty Has Her Way,” which was part of the soundtrack to “The Lost Boys.”
I would be faintly amazed – though delighted – if he’s still alive.
