Least believable casting ever: Robert Redford as John Dortmunder.

It was both. With her hair pulled back under that hat she wore, she was very appealing. On occasion, Jennifer Aniston nowadays reminds me of her look in that film. Maybe Babs decided that she had to make the character extra likeable in order to make up for Ryan O'Neal's blandness.

Apropos of nothing she was a couple of years above me in high school.

Jean Arthur is a personal favourite, so Only Angels Have Wings is near the top of the list, and His Girl Friday is just about perfect, but for sheer enjoyment it has to be The Awful Truth: there are just so many great scenes in it. The bit with the bowler hats is one of the funniest things you'll ever see; and when…

Also A Perfect Spy, also starring McAnally

Another Irishman, Ray McAnally, gave one of the great British TV performances in the original version of this. It might look a bit dated now, but it still stands up as a cracking thriller. It'll be interesting to see if they keep the book's ending or change it like the first series did.
That was a particularly strong…

And nicely directed by Peter Capaldi, too.

In the 30 Rock episode where the characters walk in front of the HD camera and Jack appears as a young man, I always assumed that was taken from Malice, but I could be wrong.

Electric Warrior's cover was great, especially the full size album version. It was the first album I ever bought and Telegram Sam was the first single. Apart from a few singles released either side of Electric Warrior, and one great B-side, Raw Ramp, it's probably the only T Rex music I listen to nowadays.

It seems a bit ironic that De Niro's character didn't know how to pronounce Hereford correctly, him being such an expert and all.

I felt sure I'd be the first to suggest Love Song-Second Time Around from MGE, but it's good to see that someone else appreciates it just as much.

The Stranglers liked it so much they did it twice with (Get a) Grip (On Yourself)

They were A Flock Of Seagulls because that's what the young ones used their hands to point to.

Strangely enough, for a duo who made so many films that were striking in their use of colour, it's the B/W one-two of A Canterbury Tale and I Know Where I'm Going! that are my personal favourites. Both films manage to give a very strong and moving sense of place, whether it's the England of the former or Scotland in…

One of the great lost singles that - Ceremony and In A Lonely Place, with Curtis on vocals. The released versions were okay, but Curtis would have added an extra dimension to them.

Mandingo lit the fuse, Drum was the explosion.

That scene in the bar when Newman slaps her across the face — powerful stuff!

The only uncomfortable moment I can remember at the cinema with my mother was during Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid — the scene where Sundance makes Etta Place strip off. I was only 9 or 10 years old at the time, and although nothing was actually seen, I don't think my mother was expecting that in a comedy western.

The close-up of Karen Allen as the spaceship takes off at the end is very effective, I think. She never looked better.

Her solo album did have one very good track on it - Mysteries
