Thorn Shawnton, old mickaleen was good tooSean Thornton!
Is that the one with Mr Bean in?The original "Italian Job" was great. Benny Hill was brilliant in it.
The sewer scenes were shot in Coventry!
Did not like the remake.

Strangely, that is one film I thought was really long-winded and boring. I've never watched it to the end. (Bit like porn movies really! I never see if the plumber ever got round to actually fixing the sink!)
The original "Journey to the Center of the Earth" 1959 was a classic too.
Yes, "Quatermass and the Pit" always gave me chills when I watched it.Yeah there's a shedload of US and UK scifi which is ace. The Quatermass films for example were great and scared me to death when I was young.

It was retitled as "Five Million Miles to Earth" in the USA, as the Professor Quatermass character was unknown there.

Another sci-fi classic "Forbidden Planet" from 1956.

I remember the TV series of Quatermass and the Pit in the 1950's. I was about 5 and my mum would watch it with us kids peeking from behind the bloody settee! I'm sure it must have been shown on a Wednesday night, coz that was the night my old man used to play dominoes down the pub and he wouldn't have let us watch it! Scared us bloody shitless! :emoji_alien:Yes, "Quatermass and the Pit" always gave me chills when I watched it.

The original "Goodbye Mr Chips" was a classic.I used to love Norman Wisdom films, Laurel and Hardy, I think they are still funny today. Goodbye Mr Chips is one of my all time faves. There was a remake with the chap from Men Behaving Badly that wasn't too bad.
The spaghetti westerns were brilliant. At the time i used to like the movie versions of things like On the Buses, Steptoe and Son and Till Death us Do Part. However, they have not stood the test of time.
By the way does Austin Powers count as it was set in the sixties?
Wasn't Old Mother Riley a bloke ?The original "Goodbye Mr Chips" was a classic.
You sound like a person that might remember the "Old Mother Riley" films.
Some of them were very funny.
However, I haven't seen a rerun in decades so they might seem very dated if watched now.
Yes, Old Mother Riley was played by Arthur Lucan.Wasn't Old Mother Riley a bloke ?
You old fart:happy:This thread is actually quite depressing as some of the films listed I actually thought were quite recent!
I was going to say Metropolis.... I have only seen a few silent films and out of them all Metropolis is something else. Brigitte Helm is unbelievabley captivatingNot sure what old is but I will stick to black & white,
Metropolis by Fritz Lang for it's time is visually stunning.
The great dictator worth watching if only for Chaplin's speech at the end.
All of the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films.
The day the earth stood still, not the Keanu Reeves remake but the original 50's version.
I've just realised that at least 3 of those films are warnings to mankind that we are on the wrong path.
Oh and Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple.
