Oi, listen. I know more about Films than James's realises. I've even seen some. I've seen ALL these films. A Night to Remember. (The original - & PROPER - Titanic story, black & white, made at Ealing Studios, 1958). Starred Kennerth Moore & Honor B lackman*. The Railway Children. Originally a 1951 TV Series, then made into a film in the mid 50's. Titchfield Thunderbolt. 1953 B & W film, about the closure of a British Rail branch line. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers . 1954 film, B & W, my Sister forced me to go. Horrendous, I'm still scarred by it. The Sound of Music Ugh, 1965, see above. Ugh ugh ugh. The Beatles Films. Watership Down. Ugh. Jaws. I was courting, I had ulterior motives. Jurassic Park. Ditto. She was nearly as ancient as these creatures. Lock Stock & 2 whatsits. (Loved it). S.natch* , by same director, Guy somebody, Madonna's knock off? Loved it. Plump Friction . Adored it, seen it on my CD player about 100 times. So, don't think I'm not a film expert - I am. Bring it on Hartigan, I'm ready. * Both names Edited due to software filtering issues. Sorry Mods! Posted by Tikay10
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - wasn't Julie Newmar (aka the first ever Catwoman) in that? She's a bit of all right, can't be that bad a film!!!
In Response to Re: PRIMO 28/02/2010 : It's not been decided yet Barry afaik. I think - think - I was a replacement for Trevor, & when Mother Hen spoke to me an hour or so ago, & asked if I could the Show tonight, she was then going to ring round & find a PTP-er for tonight.Maybe it is Trevor, but I'd be surprised if the Home Page were able to change & update that so quickly on a Sunday. Anyway, if I hear anything, I'll Post accordingly. Posted by Tikay10
If you are stuck - why not have a 'play the TPer' and if your really stuck why not a 'play the loony'

Now wrong Chris!
It featured the big star of the day (what does he do now, I wonder?) Howard Keel, & Julie Newmar had a role, too. She's 77 now! Even more astonishing, that photo was taken 3 years ago, when she was 74. They don't make Ladies like that any more, no false bits, what you see is what you get.
In Response to Re: PRIMO 28/02/2010 : Rabbits. I like rabbits. I had a girlfriend who thought they were wonderful, too. I like moles, too, a lot, but films about moles are thin on the ground. Interestingly, moles are not thin on the ground in Ireland - they don't have ANY. How fascinating & peculiar is that? This is a star-nosed mole. It's called that because it has a star-shaped nose. Tell me you are not impressed by that - go on, I dare you. Posted by Tikay10
This reminds me of a story last year about a well known DIY chain, that i wont mention, but whose name begins with B and ends in Q. They had in stock thousands of mole traps that they sent around the various stores in the UK, and a couple of months later, when checking stock takes in Northern Ireland, found the sales of this item was way down on the rest of the UK. That is when someone told them that there were no moles in ireland, and the manager in charge said but this is Northern Ireland lol. What really made me laugh though, was the fact that they had sold 20 of them, work that one out!!

GREAT story Loony, on so many levels. Check out the Manager who said "ahh, well, we are NORTHERN Ireland"......like moles know the difference.....
But I can imagine it being a variation of the old shark-repellent joke, about sharks in the River Thames.
Remember: you need to think of actors who can "open" a movie (A-listers) in English please James Posted by acebarry10
Two words, Barry: BIG STARS!
And, crucially, big stars of 2010. Alas, Paul Hogan (whilst being a 9/10 Tikay lookalike) hasn't been on the A-list since 1987 - and George Burns is dead!

Surely that makes him an excellent nomination? :-)

So are you saying that crocodile dundee will not be shown on tele this year then?......gutted.
You best do some clarification of the rules before this thread turns into a fiasco!
Thanks James, but not being able to remember the last time I watched a movie, here is a complete guess, tikay=Leslie Nielsen and Geoge Clooney= Ostri... Orford , and in answer to mabsue, Daniel Radcliffe is James Hartigan
If I'm played by anyone other than Vince Vaughn or Ben Affleck I'm going to be very disappointed.
I'll take Daniel Day-Lewis, at a push.
(Although given his legendary commitment to method acting, he'd probably spend a year in preparation for my character reading Christmas cracker jokes.)
Have a good show chaps.Good to see a light-hearted thread on here today!
PS-I think you should open the show with some controversial comments about the Total Player picks.

"Are these mole-traps effective?"
"Yes - when did you last see a mole in Ireland?".

Woof! btw
