100 Hours Life of Brian

[Could be the last?]

Best det film by far was Lock Stock.......never seen it until I spent 8 weeks in a HAS in Skopje. Just summed up the mood and characters of the SH push North in Jun 99. “Gimme back my money.......”

Oldbeefer: Belize strange films remind me of the Big C in the 70s. The adult entertainment was projected on to a white(ish) sheet hanging over one of the front windows, so it was almost as clearly visible from outside as in!

In 1975, in Sorong, Indonesia, our detachment of chopper crews and army surveyors was treated to "The Mechanic" with Charles Bronson. Projected onto a screen in the courtyard bar.

The local kids were climbing trees to see over the fence, and every time CB appeared they shouted, "Char-lez Bron-a-son! Namba satu!" (number one)

A great film with a satisfying ending, I always cleaned my own wine glasses after watching it though.
