h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

yep "of mice and men" was also made as a movie as far as i know...

saw "the little shop of horrors" at the cinema and watched it again and again on video... the reason could be that my stepfather was a dentist...



loup

Loup My mother saw the film and it was one of her favourites.

When I was a little girl I used to see Last of the Mohicans which was later made into a film.

The of most favourite Ancient Roman films are Sparactus and Ben Hur.

Thank you again.

i might take the opportunity to mention one of the LDers projects which need a bit of updating [] and reviving:

the LDers favourite TV series A844256

while the voting scores and updating that was supposed to be done ages ago [] haven't managed to climb up to the top of the "things to do" yet, it's still open for nominations/comments/etc...

there have been quite a few new series on TV since the last postings on that entry... might be worth a few posts there...

older TV series nominations are welcome of course and you can nominate titles which have been mentioned by others already..

so don't let the date of the last postings put you off... it's still open for business...?!

end of broadcast...

not completly off topic either actually as some movies have started some successful TV series [buffy being one example] and some TV series have movies inspired from them [the saint, the invaders, mission impossible and the X-Files being a few examples among many]...

now it's the end of my broadcast...

talk soon...

I wonder if anyone who has watched El Cid knows if this was based on a true story or not.

kat

ne1 lyk filmz wiv michelle pfeiffer, nicole kidman, brad pitt, tom cruise, freddie prinze jnr or sarah mg in them??

yep... tom cruise in mission impossible [1 and 2] definitely on my list..

michelle pfieffer as in catwoman in one of the batman movies?!... yes again...

sarah-michelle... yep, but then again i'm a bit biased when it comes to buffy's lead actress

nicole kidman... brad pitt... yes there as well...

i'm having a problem with freddie prinze tho' as i don't seem to remember any movie with him... malfunction somewhere in my brain i'm sure...



loup

yea 'mice & men' was made in2 a film wiv john malkovich (had 2 watch it in skool a couple wks ago)

hes in 'shes all that' 'scooby doo' 'i know wat u did last summa'

Tom Cruise in Top Gun and Mission Impossible both my favourite films. I prefer the first Mission Impossible film to the second. I do not know much about the other actors films.

kat

i know what you did last summer... yep seen it... oh right... then he is definitely on my list as well then...



i will now make a confession... tho' i'm a buffy fan and think the best of sarah-michelle, i haven't seen scoobidoo yet



never mind, it will have to be a visit to my local video shop asap...



but next trip to the cinema for me is: X-Men2... YAAAAAAYYYY!!!!

what?!

oh as buffy was kinda mentioned, anyone saw "valentine" with david whats-his-name [the one who plays angel..]?!...



loup

kat.. no problem... i'm sure some links related to what has been said on here will eventually be posted... so there will be more details available...

talk soon everyone...

loup

Same with me Loup, I would like to see the X Files 2. Is Patrick Stewart still in it?

I only saw I now what you did last Summer once on video.

kat

Thanks Loup My sister is more of an Angel fan than a Buffy fan. I like them equally both.

kat

El Cid?
Haven't seen it (was that old Chuck Heston in "epic" mode? Only liked him in Planet Of The Apes ) but El Cid was a real person, he was a mercenary soldier in 11th Century Spain before being killed in a battle with the Moors. He has an epic poem describing (or exaggerating ) his exploits & is thought of as a legendary hero in his native country, a bit like the way we built a mythology around Robin Hood. So if the film was about him, it'd be true(ish)

& after those mentions of X-Files2, does that mean it IS being made. I always thought a sequel seemed very unlikely.

Thanks Element9inety2wo for the information, yes it was the one with Chuck Heston in Epic Mode.

It has been a while since they made the first X-files movie. I wonder how long it will take to make.

The most timeless movie has to be Casablanca. Set in the 2nd World in Moracco it tells of a nightclub owner called Rick who assists in selling exit visas for those who want to escape Nazi Europe and got to the non-occupied countries. Rick meets his former lover, a French resistence fighter woman who he meets again at his night club and wants to obtain an exit visa for her and her husband, also a French resistance fighter. Rick comes from a neutral stance to a supporter of the French resistance movement. One of the most moving moments are when everyone in the Nightclub starts singing the Marseilles which results in the night club being closed down.
