I constantly find myself starting to sing Little Green Bag, then finding other people joining in!

Reservoir Dogs all the way with me.

Edgy, violent, actors at the top of their game, the coolest soundtrack and endlessly quotable.

Ditto. I'm surprised by the number of folk here who loved Django Unchained (I'm with Fuzzy - definitely prefer Death Proof to it!). I found it surprisingly uninvolving and uninteresting. I never cared about Django's quest to rescue Broomhilda, and their relationship was never sold as anything particularly special. Plus I was disappointed by Waltz's carbon copy performance from Basterds, and I thought the dialogue lacked the zing we've come to expect ("I like the way you die, boy" seemed like someone trying and failing to imitate a Tarantino one-liner!). Oh yeah, and I though the sountrack sucked . . .

To end on a positive note, Sam Jackson was awesome, deserved to be in a better film . . .

As I may have said in other postings I read more or less anything in English (yes, that includes American too) in the horror/fantasy/science fiction genres. That included an awful lot of pulp fiction from the 1950s-60s. "The man who Fell to Earth" was among these pulp fiction books. As with other books of this type a cheap, monochrome movie was made and shown in the flea pits and drive-ins around the States, eventually finding it's way on to U.K. T.V. in the late 1960s- early '70s. I remember seeing the film because I had read the book.

I would love to see this version again but can I find it? Can a bear stick it's thumb up it's arse? All I can find is the Roeg/Bowie hybrid.

Will someone please tell me that I am not a) mad, b) trying to remember a good film version of the book that I enjoyed so much, or c) a refugee from another dimension in which the monochrome earlier film is actually remembered.

Can anyone help?

I can find is one which was made in 1987:
The Man Who Fell to Earth (TV program) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ANGEL HEART -- always fun to watch De Niro as Mr. Cypher, and having not seen the film for years, quite strange to see Mickey Rourke in his former 'life' as a good looking sleazeball.

AMERICAN MARY - I can appreciate this indie-horror for bringing something quite new to the table (body modification and a very interesting female protagonist), but at the same time I was underwhelmed by it for the most part. The last act fell flat for me.

THE STRANGE VICE OF MRS. WARDH -- cracking gialli from Martino, enhanced greatly by that brilliant soundtrack. One of the best. Here's hoping shameless get some more films out.
