hedda	I'm hooked on American 70s art at present. ie repeats of Charlies Angels, Starksy & Hutch and I just lurve TJ Hooker ! I think it may be because they don;t have mobile phones, the internet and drive huge Yank Tanks.
Pru	I'm just thankful that British critics have grown up. There was a time when the Sight and Sound brigade treated all American movies as beneath contempt, whilst they overrated every British film (never 'movie' of course) that featured someone unemployed getting wet and muddy then even more miserable. Mind you, have you seen that awful trailer for the BBC news channels film review with Essler and Mark Kermode? Basically 'If you like to eat popcorn at the cinema, this is not for you'. Well done, boys, that's public service broadcasting at its worse. Why not try to include people rather than exclude them, you lazy elitists.
JK2006	Prompted by my Beautiful Thing Thread… it interests me how film has become an art form. It doesn't matter that a movie is 20 years old and not at all significant in todays morality/society, it's an artistic and cultural triumph. I bet this post, with over 2000 views, has inspired several dozen Amazon/dvd sales. Just as we older generation, tipping the kids off to gems like All About Eve and MichelAngelo's David, prompt millions of new fans. Hopefully they call him MichelAngelo and not Michael. One of the many positive points about the Internet.
