Iceland, but Aldi is closer.. |
the great films that used to be regulars at easter and Christmas such as The amazing mr Blunden and Those magnificent men in their flying machines to name a couple?
I recall a load of really good films, it seems a shame that such greats should just disappear into the annals of time...
What other classics are we missing that deserve to be remembered. |

I remember being a child and Anne Of Green Gables used to show up on channel 4 around Easter time. I used to get so excited. I was a dramatic red head and used to pretend I was her  |

The Megan Follows version of Anne of Green Gables was an absolute love of mine! |

That's the one. I even needed up buying it years later, so my eldest daughter could watch it  |

"Bugsy Malone  "
I remember going to a cinema in Kent to see that film and being let in half way through the film and then staying to see the first half of the film in the next showing, it was always great to know how a film ended before it started, nothing quite like a plot spoiler... |

There and to the left a bit |
"Monte Carlo or Bust
Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World"
Was Monte Carlo Or Bust the one that was basically Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines but with cars? Had Terry Thomas with Eric Sykes as his henchman?
There were a few very similar along those lines so get them confused |

It was and I have just read the American release name for the film
which was "Those daring young men in their jaunty jalopies".
Another blast from the past was the great train robbery with Sean Connery.

No - that was the Great Race. Tony Curtis played The Great Leslie & I think Natalie Wood May have been the love interest! |

Seconded, purchased on DVD a few years ago, suprisingly racist now, which probably explains why it's now shown much. |

Great film although the stop go animation of the creatures definitely shows its age."
Surely that's what makes it great |

No wonder we're confused - just checked IMDB and Tony Curtis was in both of them!! The Great Race was an all American cast with Jack Lemmon amongst others.
Monte Carlo Or Bust was the one with Terry Thomas and Eric Sykes as well as Peter Cook and Dudley Moore |

All i can find is Inner Space which it isn't. .. Really bugging me now that I can't think of the name.. |

Oh wow! I just had a flash of being really little and watching this on Christmas Eve. We were allowed to stay up to watch it, then had to go to bed when it finished, because we needed to be asleep before Santa came. That made me a little emotional. Thank you for that  |

I believe you're thinking of "Fantastic Voyage" featuring Raquel Welch - I remember my dear old Dad commenting "thank goodness they didn't shrink her boobs" |
