Its probably from Warner Archives now i come to think .

Yes but it played on TCM a lot before it's dvd release.
It's the "most complete" version to re-surface (TCM /Warner Archive version)

That was one I tried to snag from supermart for 1p!

How about Fright (1971)? An effective little Brit chiller with Susan George, Ian Bannen, Dennis Waterman, George Cole and Honor Blackman.

Nice one.

Talking about British thrillers...I also liked Eyewitness (1970)...




And...Assault (1970)

Btw this is out on an official UK dvd (Network I think) so forget the bootlegger's ad campaign in the vid.
It was the only decent quality one I could get to play...

I watched a couple of British gems last night.

Attack the Block 2011 and 1961's The Hellfire Club.

Only fifty years between them.

I take it you liked Attack the Block then, Dem?

Just watched Assault. Great stuff indeed.

how about some comedy as well?


The obvious ones are holy grail and life of brian, but recently I discovered The rise and rise of michael rimmer after picking up the dvd in a local charity shop.

Peter cook is excellent and the film is still politically relevant today Very funny and also more than a little bit chilling at the same time.

Also bed sitting room (discussed quite a lot in the blu-ray threads) is well worth a look as well.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Some great choices there ASSAULT is another cracker as is Susan George's FRIGHT and EYEWITNESS.

Fright has it's own thread here btw.....
