It's been a while since I read the novella, but I think there two civil servants in it, who were blended together into one character (played by Wilfrid Hyde-White) in the film. Film critic Leslie Halliwell, who picked The Third Man as one of his favourite films, said that it was planned for the two civil servants to

I like Sgt. Paine so much that every time I watch the film I tell myself he doesn't die, he's just wounded.

Was it that long ago that Robb played Robin Hood? How time flies. . . .

And no one over the age of 30. Maybe 35 for the Sheriff of Nottingham. Oh, and a rock song or power ballad over the end titles.

The TV version with Ciarin Hinds twenty years ago was pretty good; and if memory serves, David Robb - who plays Dr. Death on Downton Abbey - had a cameo as Robin Hood.

No, it'd just be Marple. Can't wait to see the backstory explaining her obsession with knitting; and of course there'll be the doomed love affair that condemned her to spinsterhood.

Boudica/Boadicea would make a pretty good film. The tagline writes itself: 'The original Wonder Woman!' Get Michelle MacLaren on board to direct and greenlight that project.

In a world where the 1938 Errol Flynn version exists, why in God's name do we need another Robin Hood film? It's pretty close to being a perfect movie, one in which every element is right on its own and everything comes together beautifully. In addition to Flynn at the height of his fame, you have Olivia de Havilland

My son (now 17) was watching Monty Python and Blackadder and Fawlty Towers by the time he was 9. He also saw Steve Coogan in Dr. Terrible's House of Horrible around that time, and repeated one of Dr. Terrible's intros at school next day (it was the one about his father and the kitten). He said to me 'Mom, no one got

Yeah, my son loved Treehouse when he was younger, and most of the shows were good (that is, I could watch along with him and not feel my IQ dropping as I did so).

Come on. No Friendly Giant?

My English husband feels he really traded up as far as national anthems go when we moved to Canada 18 years ago. As a Canadian who lived in Britain for five years (and am also old enough to remember when we sang "God Save the Queen" every morning at school) I have to agree with him.

Seeing as how Topsy-Turvy is one of my favourite films, I'd be just that little bit more excited if Leigh was filming Penzance instead of just doing it for the ENO. Anyone know if they have anything like the National Theatre's programme that sees some of their productions be released into cinemas worldwide?

It's Jurassic Park meets Final Destination!

I think the kids are Bryce Dallas Howard's nephews. Because no Jurassic Park movie is complete without kids associated with one of the main players, but who have no real reason to be there except to get in jeopardy to move the plot along.

That's exactly what I thought. Do they all use the same publicist and photographer? 'Okay, I need brooding and thoughtful. You, on the left - too much emotion. Tone it down.'

Flying from Vancouver to [insert any city in America here] is about twice the cost of what it would be to fly from Seattle (two hours south) to the same city. Booking at the last minute would bump the price up, and if it was back when you had stupid restrictions like 'must stay over a Saturday night' to book a cheaper

Yeah, the Ridge Theatre in Vancouver used to show this at midnight on Fridays when I was in high school in the late 1970s, and a couple of kids in my theatre class used to go to every screening. By the time I actually got round to seeing the film a few years later, I already felt I knew it, because the kids were

That's what I thought when I watched the clip just now. 'He's running away from the accident scene - oh, hang on, he's running to find a phone. I remember those days.'

Um, I'll have to ask my mom if she liked it or not (or even if she's seen it). For myself? Yes, I liked it a lot.
