[QUOTE="spiney, post: 253269, member: 192438"] Friday 1st Sept. A good sci fi/horror feast tonight, on "free" British tv, but unfortunately all 3 films time-overlap! I strongly recommend Repo Man, as the most interesting and least shown. Air Force One, BBC1, 10.35pm. A good watchable high octane (as they say) thriller, where USA president Harrison Ford has his presidential plane hijacked, and fights back, constantly frustrating the criminals. The snag is, Ford shows "unrealistic" knowledge of modern aircraft, and otherwise behaves in a way hard to believe, a bit like a secret agent (USA presidents being mainly either politicians, businessmen, or lawyers!). Don't Look Now, ITV4, 11.30pm. Excellent! Nick Roeg's 3nd film, after Performance (remember Mick Jagger naked?) and Walkabout (remember Jenny Agutter naked?). And - some people would say - pretty much his last ever coherent film! Well, never mind. Based on Daphne Du Maurier's (short, mini-novel) highly atmospheric ghost-horror story. Donald Sutherland is an architect, commissioned to restore a Venice church. His vulnerable wife Julie Christie - their baby girl has just drowned - with him. Scenes of Venice, mixed with religion, there's "premonitions", and they meet a very wierd couple of ladies, one a blind mystic, the other her helper (and maybe mature content lover). Their son in an English boarding school falls ill (a "portent"), and it all races towards a tremendous very unexpected climax (which I'm not giving away). The very unusual love scene in this film - between Sutherland and Christie - is widely regarded as the best ever filmed! Repo Man, film4, 11.50pm. Despite my just above remarks, this is tonight's film you shouldn't miss! (see previous post above, for comments). [/QUOTE]
