If one of the movies i want to see is still playing then i shall probably venture over to the local cinema art house. I have already missed The History Boys, boy did they ever do a lousy ad campaign on that film - it came and went so fast, it is unbelievable.
I shall be looking for The Painted Vail.
If that is not available, i have saved on my satellite box about 20 of some of the finest cinema available - even going back as far as 1945 with Brief Encounter and into the 50's with 3 brilliant Italian films leading up to and including the last few years.
Before Night Falls
Hamlet = Sir Laurence Olivier
I Vitelloni
Hillary and Jackie
A Separate Peace
A Passage to India
Travels With My Aunt - Dame Maggie Smith
The Razor's Edge - original version
Umberto D
Dick Cavett interview with Bette Davis and Kathrine Hepburn
Fanny and Alexander - the full version
Brokeback Mountain - i still have not watched it.
The Winslow Boy - new version
Edward II
Cinema Paradiso
The Front
The Remains of the Day
Howards End
Goodbye Mr Chips
The Grass Harp
Mr and Mrs. Bridge
The Red Shoes
Mrs. Dalloway - Dame Vanessa Redgrave
The complete Huff Series
Of all the films listed only about 5 have not been seen before - the rest have, and multiple times.
So that should take care of all those boring hours related to one of the most boring events we have ever created.
Oh the price of the commercials that someone was interested in knowing - $2.6 million per minute i believe is the going price. Coca Cola has bought 10 minutes.
eM.
