I watched Spinal Tap a couple of months ago and it's stood the test of time.

I really must change my reading glasses, misread cult and got excited.

It's a great watch, always seem to notice something new each time and I've seen it lots.

It's subtle things such as when the lead singer's wife turned up to join them sporting a cold sore on her lip, as the tour progressed, you notice that one by one each band member turned up with a cold sore.

Spent Thursday afternoon watching The African Queen followed by Casablanca on BBC2. Bogie was brilliant in both.

"Zulu" is my favourite classic. Always watched it after lunch on Christmas day.

We've just replced the drummer in our band, and if anybody asks what became of the previous one it's obvious - he died in a bizarre gardening accident.

I guess these qualify as cult movies.

Time Bandits-typical Gilliam fare.

And the 2 Zombieland films pure nonsense but somehow they work.
