If anyone has any other film suggestions post in the thread and I will update the first post. Certain films have links to their respective IMDB pages.
Black = Terrestrial and Freeview : Blue = Pay for Channels (e.g. Sky Movies)

Star Ratings:
***** Masterpiece: **** Recommended: *** Decent: ** Disappointing: * Awful: ‘(AVOID)’ Even Uwe Boll would be embarrassed with this shit.
NB: All films without star ratings are those that I have not watched.

Film of the Week
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) – Five Monday @ 4.25pm
With it being Christmas and all you must watch at least one festive film so why not make it the best of the bunch. This is the finest Muppet movie ever made with Michael Caine's best ever performance to boot.

Film of the Week
Grey Gardens (1976) – C4 Thursday @ 12.45am
A rather extraordinary documentary about an old mother and her middle-aged daughter, the aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, living their eccentric lives in a filthy, decaying mansion in East Hampton. This is rarely on British television (in fact this is the only time I can recall it being on) so watch it whilst you can. - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073076/

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[Goose]

Excellent work, sir! Not just this week either, but all the weeks you've kept us in film recommendations!

[Chosty]

Great way to end the year, LC.

[Nick R]

According to the Radio Times it's the Final Cut version of Blade Runner that's being shown.

Why thank you both.

According to the Radio Times it's the Final Cut version of Blade Runner that's being shown.

Yep, I didn't bother to add that to my first post just because I believe that it will be the standard version of the film shown from now on anyway (unless Ridley messes with it, again).

[VerticalSlum]

Thank, LC. Somehow I've never seen Black Narcissus, so I'll have to get up before lunchtime on a Saturday for once in my life.

[GrumpyLittleBear]

*Doffs cap*

Some excellent films on, and the perfect chance to finally catch up on some classics like The Third Man, Once Upon a Time in the West and Chinatown.

And to watch Scrooged for the umpteenth time.

[Arc'Tan'Gent]

Lord Cookie good sir, you are a legend.

Film of the Week
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) – Five Monday @ 4.25pm
With it being Christmas and all you must watch at least one festive film so why not make it the best of the bunch. This is the finest Muppet movie ever made with Michael Caine's best ever performance to boot.

Absolutely spot on - just one of the most sophisticated literary adaptations ever; Dickens, with jokes.

[Trigg]

Excellent work, sir! Not just this week either, but all the weeks you've kept us in film recommendations!

Just want to second this.

I always look out for your thread on a Friday so thanks very much for the time and effort.

[Fireproofradiator]

Amazing work putting this together but only one star for Scooby Doo - Monsters Unleashed, sir? Isn't it a witty and fun romp that straightaway puts it above rubbish like Robocop Deux?

EDIT - Ooh, Grey Gardens sounds pretty ace.

[lordcookie]

The first live action film is quite fun for what it is and who it is aimed at but I thought the sequel was dire.

[SM47]

No Ghost Dad??

[Michael J Glocks]

Yo where's Flight of the Navigator.

[Gambit]

Christmas Eve looks epic. Jingle All the Way in the afternoon then Die Hard and Gremlins one after the other. The holy trilogy of Christmas movies.

Yo where's Flight of the Navigator.

I haven't seen that on at Christmas in quite a while now.

[linkster]

I enjoyed Miracle on 54th Street, the mum wasn't as unsympathetic as I recall. I guess I just got older.

[Graham_S]

Thanks for doing this, lordcookie. I haven't been able to take advantage of these threads much lately, but looking forward to the bumper Xmas edition has become as much a part of my Xmas as buying the Radio and TV Times double issues when I was a lad.

To say thank you, I've got you a little surprise present. I'll upload it when I get home!

[lordcookie]

Ooh, I'm all excited. Unless it turns out to be a picture of your cock again (you spam my inbox more times with photos of your penis than you ever did about the save Rllmuk campaign).

[FishyFish]

EDIT: Oh, and I see you're back to your sour-faced ways where the Buses trilogy is concerned.

[lordcookie]

Thanks, I did miss Night Mail originally. I'll add it to the first list.

On the Buses FTL.
