That's a seriously great film all round! I love the whole "siege" aspect of it...I'd go so far to say that it's one of those films that really is ahead of it's time.

I used to have the colourised version of this. What a bizarre concept colourising was. They also did it to a lot of Laurel & Hardy films.

...they should do it to "Plan 9 In Outer Space".

is A Handmaid's Tale any good?

MellySingsDoom 06.17.2008 04:44 PM

Not seen it, T & B. Who made that?

dr666 - at the time that I was getting hold of loads of that stuff, it was the one film I figured that non-one would like at all - remember, this was the ers of "Women's Camp 119" et al. Until, of all people, my brother and his mate ranted on about it 3 Xmas's ago. I have it on DVD. D'you want to check it out?

Love this film.

Pookie - oh my God, I was wearing the T-shirt of this film yesterday at work, and this new guy has lent me the soundtrack to this today! A seriously good film in all respects!

Awesome list. I could happily watch at least half of those once every day.

Haven't hears of Neither the Sand nor the Sea, though.

70s British was the way to go. Watched Inseminoid again this afternoon. What a corker

It was one of those films I saw as a child and for years had a vague recollection of it, but couldn't remember the title. Then I just happened to see it on TV one night.

Very much a film of its time and place.

NWRA 06.17.2008 04:56 PM

That psychedelic soundtrack is great too.

It's a shame that time has passed when you could see films like that on BBC2.

demonrail666 06.17.2008 04:58 PM

Yeah, Hammers at 1 in the morning on a saturday night. Happy days.

MellySingsDoom 06.17.2008 04:58 PM

Indeed, Pookster, which makes it all the better, in my dementia-ridden brain. A very good Brit counterpart to a lot of the better 60's/70's biker films... on an unrelated tip, are you into the films of Pete Walker ("Frightmare", "House of Whipcord")?

demon - I was speaking to a workmate of mine today about just this...talking of which, my brother spoilt me totally on my birthday with the 20-film set of the "Best of Hammer"...I feel a weekend session is in order!

Not heard of him.

I got the Pete Walker box set last year. Great stuff on there. Die Marianne Screaming is just bonkers. It's like about eight films at once.
