1. One film that changed your life
-
2. One film you have watched more than once
Chimes at Midnight
3. One film you would want on a desert island
a guide to desert island survival
4. One film that made you laugh
plenty
5. One film that made you cry
The newsreel footage of Greg Shackletons last report from East Timor. Knowing that he and the other 4 crewmen & journalists were already dead by the time it had been smuggled to Australia, knowing what was to happen to the East Timorese during the first months of the invasion and then during the occupation until 1999, all a bit much
6. One film you wish had been made
Orson Welles 'The Cradle Will Rock'.
About the production and opening night of the 1937 "labour opera" 'The Cradle Will Rock' which he himself directed. Rupert Everett was to star as his younger self (has anyone ever done that; made a film about events earlier in their life complete with an actor playing their young self?) and Amy Irving as his first wife Virginia Nicholson.
But while Steven Spielberg could pay $60,000 for a replica of the Rosebud sled he wouldn't pay one red cent to produce an Orson Welles film.
7. One film you wish had never had been made
The Potter films (except #3), they are just blah. Terry Gilliam should have been in charge
8. The last film you saw
Atonement in a cinema on the weekend, Ran on dvd an hour ago
9. One film you have been meaning to see
