Hi Everyone
Well done everyone, I wasen't sure if anyone would have picked "Ring Of Bright Water" well done Barry, a charming film apart from the sad ending, beautiful scenery, starring Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna, "Born Free".

No 3 might be a bit hard, it was made in 1933-34 off the western coast of Ireland, an award-winning film by a famous american filmaker, and was released on Super8 on a 600ft reel.

Number 3 is from Robert Flaherty's quasi documentary "Man of Aran". As with his "Nanook of the North", Flaherty staged a number of sequences in the film. I didn't know it was available in 8mm.

At the tender age of nine, the end of "Ring of Bright Water" made me bawl my eyes out. I'll never watch that film again!

Doug
I remember "Man Of Aran" being advertised in an old mag somewhere so I had a look through old Movie Maker and Film Making came across it in a Film to buy and Hire 1979 list, that came with Oct 79 issue of "Film Making" it was a { PM.B} release not sure what the B stands for, although not stating the length pretty sure it was a 600ft, lately that very film came up on our local internet site but I wasen't allowed to buy it [Frown]

although the film was staged, the people in the film were real islanders not actors and they did endure hardship living on those barren islands, one scene that I thought dangerous was the young kid fishing from the edge of a very high cliff, how he cast his line and pulled it in was amazing, and this is how they really did it, a fascinating film to watch, the huge waves pounding those cliffs reminded me of the David Lean film "Ryan's Daughter" the storm also filmed on the west coast of Ireland.

Graham.

PS Its amazing the effect films can have on you when you are young, my son was upset when we once watched the Super8 release of King Kong, seeing how Kong was treated and killed really upset him, and even to this day he will never watch it, I got rid of the print.

Well, here are a few more [Roll Eyes]

Hint, Acadamy Award 1930.

Filmed in 24 countries on 70mm.

Thats the tricky one.

A classic from 1940

My favourite word spoken in this movie was, "Blast" remember it, and which actor spoke it. [Wink]

Graham,

Great fun! I got em' all, but I'll just do two. The tricky one is "The Black Stallion Returns" and the 70mm film is one of Jan and Chip's favorites, "Baraka".

Hi Doug
Jan and Chip were certainly right regarding "Baraka" it is one of those rare films that everyone should watch, as well as stunning photography its a real insight into how we live. Its been interesting posting these images, glad you had fun picking out the movies, I will finish with one more, one of my favourite films any guess. anyone [Roll Eyes]

If you can find it, director Mike Leigh's "Secrets and Lies" is also one of my top ten pics. Brenda Blethn stars as a woman living in England who had a baby she gave up for adoption. Years later, the child travels to England to meet her birth Mother. The rest, you must see to believe. Extremely recommended - langauge and violence for adult audiences.
