League of Gentlemen

Brilliant & funny TV series, but not sure I see the link with Pulp.
Waiter, my soup is giggling.

La cité des enfants perdus - City of lost children. The other two mentioned below are also brilliant - namely Delicatessen and Amélie.

A 1995 French-German-Spanish science fantasy drama film directed by Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet and starring Ron Perlman. The film is stylistically related to the previous and subsequent Jeunet films, Delicatessen and Amélie. The music score was composed by Angelo Badalamenti. It was entered into the 1995 Cannes Film Festival.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_City_of_Lost_Children)

'Quigley down under' starring Tom Selleck.  Magnum as a Wild West expert rifle shot in Austraila, what is not to like?

For the youngsters amongst you "The League of Gentlemen" was a british heist film of 1960 with Jack Hawkins leading a group of disgruntled ex-military.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052997/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3

Can I recommend the Jean claude Van Damme film The Quest.  Starts out in the New York waterfront like a gangster movie then moves to the South Seas - Pirates an all.  Search for a lost city where the martial arts contest will take place(great fortress depicted) there is even a 'zeppelin' featured. Ticks a lot of Pulp boxes despite the racial stereotypes and the martial arts.

Did anyone list Even Angels Have Wings early  mail plane pilots in South America?

I thought that was a mainstay of the pulp film. ;)

Hi. First post on this board so I hope I have done it right.

I Saw the reference to Tintin a few posts ago and thought I would mention the excellent Blake & Mortimer comics as well. Written by Edgar Jacobs (who also worked on some of the Tintin books with Herge) and the drawing/ stories are in a much more adult style but the basis is the same - heroes (Blake, who works for MI5 and Mortimer, who is a professor of Archaeology), evil villains and a mix of ancient relics and sci-fi secret weapons.

Most have been translated into English now so check them out.

The first book in the series is 'The Secret of the Swordfish (part 1).

Oh, and film wise has anyone mentioned Dick Tracy yet. Beautifully filmed in comic book colours.

Mike

Hi Mike,

First of all, a very warm welcome to you. For a first post yours is a great one: I'd never heard of Blake and Mortimer before, read your comments, zipped over to Amazon, and have The Pyramid Mystery (1&2) and The Yellow M coming later today (sometimes it's great living in the 21st century). They look stunning and I'm very excited to see them. Thank you!!!

Also, I can't believe I forgot Dick Tracy. While Warren Beatty feels a little off to me, one quickly forgets it with the excellent plot, action, cinematography and over-the-top villains that suit a film adaptation of the old comics so well.

So all in all, a stunning post. Thanks again and hope to see you around often!

Daryl

I got a kick out of "The Librarian" movies. Here's the trailer for the first one ("Quest for the Spear"):

Some of the episodes of the TV series "Warehouse 13" were entertaining, with pulpy pursuits of dangerous objects. Here's a "best of" video that's 5 minutes long:
