Wasn't it Unhinged that was passed 18 uncut by the BBFC and did the cinema rounds then the DPP decided to classify it as a 'nasty'on video.

Wonder what they'd have made of the Russell Crowe film of the same name that was released a few years ago?

The 88 Films DVD says it was previously banned.

Additionally, the BBFC website said it was given an 18 certificate for its cinema release in 1983, then the first (and only) home entertainment entry is an 18 certificate in 2004.

There must be a reason why there is a 21-year gap between its theatrical release and being classified for home entertainment, so a ban makes sense.

I watched it and the 2017 remake a few days apart – if I didn't know which was which and you told me one was rated 18 and the other 15, I would have guessed the 1982 film was rated 15 and the 2017 film was more deserving of the 18 certificate.

Very nice. Loved Broken Trail.

Do you know? Is Extreme Prejudice a different transfer to the one StudioCanal put out over here last year as part of their Cult Classics range complete with Art Cards and slip case?

I've never actually seen Broken Trail, but I love a good western and miniseries, so I'm looking forward to it. From what I've read elsewhere, it's the same transfer for Extreme Prejudice.

Thanks.

Broken Trail is a classic western adventure. In a way i was surprised at how good it actually was.

We are talking a similar quality as films such as Open Range and the 3:10 To Yuma remake rather than something starring a Baldwin brother you never knew existed.

I really got into it and felt proper sympathy for all the characters.

I hope you enjoy it.

I'm sure you've seen The Long Riders before. If you haven't i'm not spoiling anything by saying it's ****ing ace.

Keep meaning to pick up the recent release of The Driver. Always liked that one.

Yeah i've seen The Long Riders.

I only saw Open Range for the first time a few months ago. Had been meaning to watch it for a while and I loved it. The final gunfight was up there with some of the best. Can't wait to see Costner's new western(s) Horizon when it eventually gets made.

Open Range is superb isn't it. Like you say that gunfight was a stunner. All the more impactful due to the languid pace of what comes before it.

I knew nothing about Horizon until now. Sounds intriguing. Now that Yellowstone's ended (I really need to see that) he should be able to get it all shot... well after all the damn strikes anyway.

Have you seen Hatfields & McCoys? That was a fine western mini series for Costner.

It must be lovely to own that item, knowing where it came from, how it was assembled, and by whom.

If you're feeling flush and want to own some rare and quality items, visit The Reaper Man's family eBay store for a mutually beneficial transaction

That's obviously where Mucky got it from if you read his post. He said the seller was Andy's daughter.

Three from the local Air Ambulance shop. £1 each. I zoned in on the wonderful Brooklyn straight away.

All three are really good films.

Demoncrat 10th August 2023 06:12 PM

Picked up Total Recall, this being the UK Studio Canal BD ahem. £2.

Is it the Rekall edition?

The new one is a two disc affair with a feature length doc on the second disc about Carolco

It's a really good film with Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts and their kids holidaying in the far east when a tsunami hits.

It's scary stuff and a real emotional roller coaster as the family all get separated amid the devastation.

I have it on dvd and decided ages ago that the next time i watched it would be on Blu-ray so it was a great find.

Demdike@Cult Labs 10th August 2023 06:44 PM

From it's Wiki page.

Quote:

It is based on the experience of MarÃ*a Belón and her family in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It features an international cast including Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor and Tom Holland in his film debut.

The film received positive reviews from critics for its direction and its acting, especially for Watts who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama, and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role.

Justin101 10th August 2023 06:45 PM

It's on Netflix and Amazon Prime so I'll check it out and buy it if I like it, sounds good though!

It was one of those i ignored to begin with and then i bought it purely as something to watch... and thought it was fantastic.

Nosferatu@Cult Labs 10th August 2023 08:09 PM

I saw The Impossible at the cinema on New Year's Day, 2013, when it was released.

It's a powerful and emotional drama about a family affected by the 2004 tsunami, with excellent performances from Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, and a young Tom Holland, and the recreation of the tsunami is astonishingly realistic.

I have seen it a couple of times at home and it is always a tough, but rewarding watch.

Congratulations. :clap:

That's the 2012 release. You've managed to find an edition that's not listed on DVDCompare.

It surprises me not, all the pictures of the cover that I found were "unsuitable" for here :rolleyes::nod:
