  You’re a funny looking little creature…

  By far the best A Christmas Carol, by far the best Christmas film. Tears from me every time - pass the god damn Baileys

  I like pouring the wine and why not?
  Life's a pleasure that I deny not
  I like life
  Here and now
  Life and I made a mutual vow
  'Till I die
  Life and I
  We'll both try to be better somehow
  And if life were a woman
  She would be my wife

  The hell scene too…still gives me the heebie-jeebies. Not surprised it fucking terrified me as a kid

  Papillon 1973

  ★★★★½ Watched 08 Nov 2023

  Rough time for Papillon - even rougher after knowing the film is based on true events. Hats off to him. Schaffner’s direction is brilliant and Koenekamp cinematography beautiful. Steve McQueen gives a particularly outstanding performance & Dustin Hoffman co-stars more than decently.  A* score by Jerry Goldsmith too. 2 things I learnt from this film - always have ya mates back and watch out for the French…

  4.5/5
