The Nanny (1965) 8/10

Bette Davis ham's it up in this intelligent Hammer movie but what makes this a classic is the great performance by William Dix as Joey.

The Most Dangerous Game (1932) 8/10

The first time I saw this, as a child, I thought it was amazing but,looking at it with
fresh eyes it does seem very dated and cheap (reusing practically everything from King Kong except the Monkey) however it is still enthralling to watch the scenes where Leslie Banks hunts Joel McCrea and Fay Wray and it's an obvious inspiration for one of my Sci-Fi favourites, Predator.

Not keen on films with alot of branding or the scooby doo ending or Ewan McGregor
(He would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for that pesky symbologist.)

From what I have read on Wikipedia, the Illuminati was actually a bavarian secret society and so the whole story is hogwash.

I enjoyed a tub of Cherry Garcia though, they should name ice-cream flavours after other famous people like Lemon & McCartney or Mint Eastwood.

I had the misfortune to see The Big Lebowski some time ago and rate it 1/10. I am not a great fan of foul language in films but tolerate it generally. However the actors in the film, particularly John Goodman, deliberately go out of their way to be as abusive as possible.

Equus- I originally bought this movie because I
like "Amadeus" which is also adapted from a Peter Shaffer play.

It's a thought provoking
play/movie that leaves you thinking "what the hell was that all about?" but in a good way.

Richard Burton
is craggy, brooding and charismatic as in all his movies and for anyone who has ever suspected
that psychiatry/psychology might be a load of bunkum, this movie/play asks some important
questions about the role of psychiatry aswell as about conformity, religion/atheism, modernity, art and humanity.

BTW, male fans of Jenny Agutter might also find the nude stable scenes of interest.

I give this movie 9/10

Yes, I think, as you say, he has a good claim to be seen as Britain's top director.

I saw Vampyr a few years ago, a very strange dreamlike film. It's almost an amateur film rather than professionally made. The lead actor provided most of the finance for the film. The film was initially made as a silent film, then sound was added.

I was surprised by his performance, especially after years of crap performances in awful action films

DaVinci Code 0/10. I gave up after about an hour as I was bored stiff. The film was destroyed by Tom Hanks' stiffness and a sense that this is a very important film and therefore it must be very very serious. Another masterpiece from the legendary Ron Howard.

Immortal Beloved 7/10 Having given up on the Davinci Code, I resaw Immortal Beloved (a biography of Beethoven) - a much better film.

The director Bernard Rose is one to look out for. His best known film is Candyman. He also made Paperhouse, a very strange film based on Marianne Dreams and worth looking out for. He also has a bit of an interest with Beethoven and Tolstoy. I suspect he finds it difficult to raise finance for the films he would loke to make, but it is worth seeing how he develops (or not) over the years, as one day he could make a masterpiece.

Diary of a Chambermaid (1946). 6/10 This is the Jean Renoir version. I have not seen the Luis Bunuel version. An unusual film in that it was made in the USA with American actors but attempts to be a French film, hence why Jean Renoir directed. The film was independently produced in part by Meredith Burgess (best known as The Penguin in the Batman TV series) who wrote the screenplay and appeared in the film. The chambermaid is played by Paulette Goddard who was married at the time to Meredith.

At first the film seems to be a comedy, almost a farce (I sensed a touch of the old Chaplin films - interestingly Goddard was previously married to him), but the tone of the film becomes darker, with obsession and greed leading to murder. There is also the relationship between the wealthy lady of the house and her servants - this is probably what interested Bunuel.

I haven't seen Renoir's La Regle du Jeu (The Rules of the Game) which is one of those films on my list of films to see before I die. This also looks at the relationship beween the wealthy and the servants, and is regarded as one of the greatest films. It is possibly that Renoir was drawn to The Diary of a Chambermaid hoping for a repeat. I don't think he succeeded, the film is of interest, but it comes across as dated, and it is not possible to convert a French story into an American film and retain its true Frenchness.
