FLY2 10,108 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I've seen it many times and thoroughly enjoy it. Proper films with proper stories and superb actors, not like the puppets of today. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Two more scenes: After saying in jest that he wished he'd never been born, his guardian angel grants the wish as a means of trying to prove to him that his life does matter. Not realising that he is now a nobody, he cannot understand why no-one recognises him, and why the town he has always lived in is different. They don't know him because he never existed and the town's people never benefitted from the good he and his building society had done them. A visit to the cemetery reveals it to be as it was before he built houses on it. Gradually it is beginning to sink in that there never was a George Bailey in anyone's life other than his own. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Ill definitely watch this or record it next time it's shown. It certainly seems to have created an immense impact and impression on you Chulla , so it must be a good storyline. Can't make Broadway Christmas Eve as I'm being invaded by outlaws ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 There are certain films that have left a lasting impression on me, such as, Brief Encounter, Shenendoah , Thelma & Louise , Mein Kampf, The Train, The Beguiled, Unforgiven, The Wild Bunch. The Long Riders. In fact most good westerns. Behind the cowboy facade, there is invariably a good storyline. Of course, anything with James Stewart in is a great film. Most Clint Eastwood films are very thought provoking too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 #54. It's on at the Broadway every day from 18th to 24th. Go on, F2, make the effort, you really will enjoy it. James Stewart was the finest of all screen actors in my opinion, but he did make some duff ones, in particular the four he made with Hitchcock. As for westerns, High Noon has to be the best, followed by The Westerner and Destry Rides Again. The last two are on the lighter side, and all the better for it. My view of westerns has changed since I was younger. I see them just as excuses to depict people killing people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 But there's a reason for people to kill people. Such as High Noon, The Man From Laramie, The Magnificent Seven , The Alamo. Sometimes killing is justified. I don't like the glorification of killing, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Back in the days when cigarettes were advertised on TV I loved the music used by Benson and Hedges. (I did not smoke!) One advert had a man going in to a jeweller's shop to rob it and coming out with the gold packet of cigarettes. Then there was the one with the game of cards in the link below. Both had the same music. I have never heard the music since the advert stopped but the lovely tune has stuck in my mind. Reading this thread gave me the idea to try Youtube. Success! Found it. The next problem is what the music is called. The comments below the youtube clip say it is a Jaques Loussier piece in the style of Bach or a piece by Bach but none of the posters have found out what it is called. I will wait until my son comes home and show him the clip. He plays loads of Bach music so I hope he recognises it. Do any of our members know what the music is? I have not succeeded in putting the youtube link in this post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Was this the tune??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 # 63 Thanks for trying Trevor S but this is not the one. Nice tune though. I am trying again with the youtube link. This is the jewel thief ad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 My link worked! The first time I have done this on Nottstalgia! Love the music. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Well done, BilboroughShirley. Once you've done it you wonder why you didn't do it before. We've all been there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Just a try. Is this the Bach you are looking for? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99G1Dse4ev4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcFHuUJE0mU 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 HAVE A NICE CHRISTMAS EVERYONE The Chullas were going to see the film at the Broadway on Christmas Eve. All booked up, so we are going this afternoon for the 2 o'clock showing. I see it is on Channel 4 Christmas Eve afternoon at 2.15. For those who will watch it for the first time, don't click on the video link below. For those who want to know how it ends, click on the link and enjoy one of the great film ending of all time.So, George finds his wife, who is frightened by a man she has never seen before. Now in total confusion he runs away from a mob and finds himself on the river bridge where his 'change' took place. Realising at last that he has never been born, and how his absence from people's lives has effected them, his second wish - to return to how things were - is granted, leading to the best of happy endings.

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 #67 Thanks carni. The first link is the advert with the music I like. The second one is not but it is a great piece of Bach. I am still hunting for a name for the piece used in the advert. Have a great Christmas. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
