Re: The Lady Vanishes
If you liked that try the original of The 39 Steps - it is in the public domain so should be easy to find

Whilst there's not much to do. let's have quiz:Chester Perry wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 6:27 pmIf you liked that try the original of The 39 Steps - it is in the public domain so should be easy to find
In 1999, the British Film Institute surveyed 1,000 people from the world of British film and television to produce the BFI 100 list of the greatest British films of the 20th century. Voters were asked to choose up to 100 films that were 'culturally British'
"The 39 Steps" was ranked No. 4.
Without checking which films came above it?

Re: The Lady Vanishes
If you like Margaret Lockwood, and I do, check out The Wicked Lady. She’s immense in that opposite James Mason.

Re: The Lady Vanishes
if it is lean then either dr zhivago or brief encounter must be 2 or 3.
brief encounter is the better film imo.

No. 2 is really obvious IMO, though perhaps not a film that will appeal to many on here
Nos 2 and 3 have the same director

Re: The Lady Vanishes
Surprisingly neither Ice cold nor Dr Zhivago are on the list. (Maybe they're not considered to be "culturally British" ??)
Anyway I've done my bit to keep you engaged for 20 minutes. I look forward to more quizzes as the days pass by.

Re: The Lady Vanishes
James Mason is always worth a watch - fabulous actor and supreme as a cold calculating villain
The wicked lady is available in full on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1m9OOPFxfI

Re: The Lady Vanishes
Margaret Lockwood is also in Night Train to Munich directed by Carol Reed in which you will find two familiar looking chaps worried about missing the cricket - it is also a good filmCardclaret wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 5:17 pmJust watched the Hitchcock original great movie and Margaret Lockwood so super HOT.

As has bee mentioned "The Wicked Kady" with James Mason was a cracker... too

Iv'e not seen the original Lady vanishes but I have seen the one with Elliot Gould and Cybill Shepherd. Cybill was a grand looking woman too.

Re: The Lady Vanishes
Strangely enough, I've just watched "The Man in Grey" on Talking Pictures, starring Margaret Lockwood, James Mason, Stewart Grainger and Phyllis Calvert (that's what you get up to after 3 weeks of TOTAL lockdown in Spain - I'm not allowed out for an exercise walk, I have to stay at home - the police have road blocks up here and are handing out €600 fines). Anyway the film was a great success in the early forties and was a breakthrough film for most of these actors, worth a watch for nostalgia's sake at least.

Re: The Lady Vanishes
I would have thought the Man Man the White Suit would have been in the Top 100?
Re: The Lady Vanishes
Just an awful film.
Im surprised that there aren't a lot of war films up there. Dam busters. The cruel sea.
Four weddings and a funeral is quintessentially British notwithstanding the American woman in it.
Younger people would have picked the monty python things at that sort of time. I imagine the older ones would go for blythe spirit, the importance of being Ernest etc.
