It sure is. They warn to watch out for bears, but I've never seen one -not that I'd want to.

Watched quite a few films recently, so inspiring I can't even remember the names. There's a pattern developing in new films, they all have limited plot, are scarily pc, and have lameass endings. So, last night watched "A matter of life and death", David Niven is a Lancaster pilot who bales out with no 'chute, his spirit guide misses him in the fog, and he survives. Cue big trial in heaven as they try and say he should be dead....

I bought a dvd collection of David Lean films. Also watched the original Blithe Spirit with Margaret Rutherford.

We have sky, Netflix, prime.... Sooooooo many channels, and here we are buying dvd collections of 1950's films. Speaks volumes, don't it?

That being said, I recorded "Operation Petticoat" yesterday, Cary Grant as a submarine commander... They don't have enough red lead, or enough white lead paint, so they mix it and end up with a pink submarine. Classic film. I just missed Father Goose the other week, too. That's a good one as well.

Have a collection of all those older films myself and prefer them to the majority of the new films, what a different world we live in now

You can find a few oldies on BBC iPlayer. "School for Scoundrels" fanatastic!

I like Ealing comedies, Launders and Gilliat movies, Passport to Pimlico, Titfield Thunderbolt, Lavender Hill Mob, The Ladykillers (nobody is to 'urt Missus Lopsided awright?)

They have remade a few, like lady killers, with Tom Hanks. Not a patch on the original.

Remakes are generally rather poor. The original "39 Steps" with Robert Donat as lead was a great example, the 2 remakes since have got progressively poorer.

Well the author John Buchan hailed from my village……. his granddaughter has only just sold the old family home. The flight across the moors is more Borders than Highland. The Hitchcock film also feels like a period piece and somehow more atmospheric than the re-makes.
