Some more Spaghetti westerns:

Trinity is still my name

A genious, two partners and a dupe

Sabata

And also Bulletproof monk, which althoug not great is essentially a pulp movie (especially the opening bit and the final confrontation with the nazi)

Bulletproof Monk's best line:

"its a recipe for noodle soup..."

Maybe you have to see it drunk to appreciate it.

Bayazet (1877, the russian-turkish war, the siege of russian fort Bayazet)

And (after much delay), the original three Indiana Jones movies (I deliberately ignored the latest one, which, like the third Mummy movie and the Star Wars xmas special just 'never happened').

Capitaes de Abril (2000) -- Portuguese movie about overthrow of the dictatorship 1975. Thought this one was really good.

Dresden -- German movie set in that city early 1945. Thought the romance between the German nurse and the wounded British bomber pilot was implausible, at least the way the script developed it, but the rest of the movie was pretty impressive.

The Hurt Locker - its about a US A>rmy bomb disposal team in Iraq. Not bad.

Just watched 'Serenity' - absolutely fantastic sci fi movie. Well worth a watch, I've now tracked down the original series (Firefly) - very much looking forwards to seeing them.

I'd give a lot to be able to see the Proff's selection with English subtitles.

Finally found me a copy of the Animatrix. The Second Renaissance is a good un'.

Is Bayazet available with English sub-titles? I have always had a bit of a thing for the 1877 Russo-Turkish War since reading the Osprey book, always imagined the illustrations as Copplestone figures, still looking for suitable 28mm miniatures....

'The Beast' is that also known as 'The Beast of War'? About a Russian tank crew in the afghan war that lose their way and sort of fight a running battle with afghan rebels? If it is I saw that film so long ago now that I can't remember when and loved every minute of it. I might have to track it down.

Fantastic, it looks like a new cover to what I've seen before. I'll have a look on amazon. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: just finished watching all the firefly/serenity stuff for the first time. WOW! amazing stuff, now I really don't know why Fox cancelled it, that is a series I would've watched and watched and watched. Dumb corporate idiots. The imagination in it is fantastic, with great story lines and humour. I never got Buffy or Angel, they just seemed too cheesy for me, but Firefly is something else.
