  The Fundamentals of Caring 2016

  ★★★★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  A brilliant, brilliant film.
  Craig Roberts plays Trevor, a disabled guy with a sharp tongue and a wicked sense of humour and
  Paul Rudd is Ben, his care giver, who doesn't take any nonsense.
  This film manages to portray a guy with a disability as something "other" than just a disabled person.
  And what an almighty PISS !!!

  Help! 1965

  ★★★★ Rewatched 20 Mar 2025

  As a huge Beatles fan since the age of 8 (in 1980) I obviously love this film.
  It's not as good as their first film "A Hard Days Night" but the photography is beautiful and the music is fantastic.
  To sum the film up.....
  It's........
  Barmy!
  Delightfully Barmy!
  And the "Intermission" might just be the greatest moment in the history of cinema.

  Scrooge 1951

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 26 Dec 2024

  Without a doubt the BEST version of Dickens "A Christmas Carol" ever put on film.
  The screenplay takes a couple of liberties with the original story, but only to add emphasis to why Scrooge is so miserable.
  And it really works.
  The viewer gets to really understand the character and feel his pain.
  Very early on you can see that Ebenezer is not all bad and has just lost sight of the person he once was.
  Other versions appear to…
