The Manchurian Candidate

The original?

Oh yes. Big John Frankenheimer fan but haven't seen enough of his films. Excellent stuff. Although I don't think Henry Silva is the most convincing korean.

I generally associate Angela Lansbury with Murder She Wrote and Bedknobs & Broomsticks, I didn't realize she could be so convincingly evil.

Thought it was one of Frank Sinatra's best films as well, he was a very good actor.

I think he was a better actor than he was a singer. There. I've said it.

I like him in both guises. :)

And he knew a good drink when he saw one.

Wouldn't it have been cool to be part of The Rat Pack. Cool

Indeed.

The Theory of Everything

Just watched the last in the Cornetto Trilogy "The World's End", very good.

I don't know. I think you'd spend half the time coughing.

It was the drunk thing that appealed. :S

He's been working behind the scenes on various comedy stuff for years before he stated appearing onscreen on Pointless.

Got some new DVDs recently. I had a choice between 52 Pick-Up (John Frankenheimer film starring Roy Scheider), The Killers (Don Seigel film starring Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson and John Cassevettes) or Life Itself (documentary about the film critic Roger Ebert). Then I saw The Amazing Spider-man is on ITV so I watched that instead. Wrong choice.
