    I watched this a few weeks ago and was a little disappointed at end when the credits went up...... I was sure there was more to the story, .like the fabulous escape part. Anyway I got the book and again was very disappointed with what was in the book vrs what the facts were.

    Billy Hayes was also critical of the way the film was made. I suppose isn't that always the way when someone from Hollywood gets there hands on a true story ? Have to day tho I enjoyed the film.

    My fave old film would have to be cocoon.


    All them pensioners jumping in and out of that pool like flaming gallahs, and riding each other like teenagers.


    2 things I got from that movie. 1, I need to retire in Miami, 2, I need to find alien eggs.

    Highest voted film on IMDB.

    I love Hitchcock. North by Northwest is one of my favourites. For those that are interested To Catch a Thief is on at the IFI right now
    http://www.ifi.ie/film/to-catch-a-thief-2/



    I also love the 30's and 40's film noir. Some of the dialogue on films like the maltese falcon is amazing.

    And movies by this couple are fun to watch too ........

    That's a fantastic film.

    For the week that's in it, here's Lauren Bacall telling Bogart to whistle.

    This was when they were falling in love. I think you can see it in the way he acted.

    Apparently he said just after they met "That dame sure has cojones" :)

    On the Waterfront, starring Marlon Brando.

    We had to watch it in school for the leaving cert but it's remained one of my favourite films of all time. Brilliant performance from Brando.

    Anything with David Niven, Errol Flynn or Bette Davis in it.
    My Dad loved The Bridge on the River Kwai and 12 Angry Men.
    I love A Man for all Seasons.

    Was watching 'Daemons of the Mind' yesterday. It's an old Hammer film that gets slated quite a bit, but was actually one of the best I've seen from them. Another good one is 'Lair of the White Worm', a Bram Stoker story. Very weird in places, but very good.

    Couldn't agree more. They're supposed to be making a TV series based on it. I can't link to the relevant site due to low post count, but you can search for 'Gaumont International Television', although there's not much there at the moment anyway.

    'Brief Encounter' was pretty good too if you're into that kind of thing. I didn't expect to like it but it was very atmospheric. But then I've a thing for steam trains and station workers that are helpful and polite and talk to people like they actually matter.

    Depends on the definition of old, I suppose.

    One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest......very hard to beat.

    Ice Cold in Alex, The Family Way

    Pretty much any Bela Lugosi/Hammer House films

    Cool Hand Luke

    One of those things that's been talked about for years but does look like it may actually happen now. Well, maybe...

    Great pre-1950 films:

    Bicycle Thief
    City Lights
    Double Indemnity
    Freaks
    It's a Wonderful Life
    Late Spring
    Man With a Movie Camera
    Modern Times
    The Passion of Joan of Arc
    The Red Shoes
    Sherlock Jr
    The Third Man

    People who refuse to watch a film if it's in black and white or was made before a certain date just make me sad tbh.

    For sheer innovation though you can't beat the 1960s for film.
