Rita, Sue and Bob too.
Still makes me laugh, one of those films that just wouldn't get made nowadays with today's sensibilities.
Don't know if people have just forgot how to take the piss out of each other, or it was just more innocent times and people didn't read too much into things, either way I love this film

Bloody love this film. Hilarious, and relatively local to where I live.Rita, Sue and Bob too.

It's one of my favourites too. I would also put it in my personal Top 5 vampire films of all time. I also have the Herzog remake on DVD, which I also enjoyed. I thought that Klaus Kinski made a good vampire, and it was a very worthy homage to the original. It's also easy to see the influence of Nosferatu in other films such as Salem's Lot. The lead vampire in Salem's Lot, Mr. Barlow, is almost identical to the vampire in Nosferatu. It's no coincidence that the film Salem's Lot was released in the same year as the remake of Nosferatu (1979).I'm a huge fan of this film. One of my all time favourites. I liked the first remake by Herzog, but I can't remember much about it. I'm somewhat intrigued by the Egger brothers remake.
However, I can't see anyone ever rivalling Schreck's performance. Even a 100 years later, there is something about his performance which is so unpalatable for his viewer. It's horror film making at some of it's most visceral.
I loved the film A man called Otto, as you say quite a sad film which took me by surprise because of the trailer, very moving.Avatar: Way of Water.
Meh. Gorgeous visuals. Terrible pacing. Weak story writing.
A Man Called Otto.
Good movie. Trailer makes it look like a comedy. It's not. It's rather a sad movie, actually.
The Portable Door.
Good movie. Not very memorable, but based on an old children's book from my youth.
As for T.V., two standout shows. Picard and Shadow & Bone. Picard has the best plot I've seen in a long time. Truly the best I've seen from the Star Trek Universe thus far.
Shadow & Bone is what Wheel of Time, The Witcher, and The Rings of Power ought to have been. i.e. true to the source material. It follows the books closely, with a minimum of wokeness and forced diversity.
I always enjoy this movie, it's my second favourite carry on.Carry On At Your Convenience (1971)
This film was the Carry On team's spoof of unions and strikes. Although the film lacks a proper plot (as a lot of other Carry On films do, to be fair), the film does have some very funny moments. I liked the main character, Vic Spanner (played by Kenneth Cope), his gormless mate (played by the ever-reliable Bernard Bresslaw) and his domineering battleaxe mother (played by Renee Houston). Sid James is also very good in his scenes with his "talking" pet bird, who is apparently able to predict winners of horse races. Hattie Jacques plays a more "dialled-down" part than usual, as his long-suffering wife. The rest of the cast are also good, though, to be fair. I enjoyed the film immensely when I watched it again last night. I give it a solid score of 9/10.
