UK TV Film Recommendations

Kanal is amazing, definitely check that one out if you haven't seen it.

I thought 3-Iron was a tad overrated, but it's not bad.

Kanal is the one of the three I've yet to see. I hope to tape it tonight.

I agree with you on 3-Iron, 'though I've got a lot of respect for its idiosyncrasy. It's got a lot of personality, and if it had clicked with me, I might have put it in the 85+ range. It's these highly subjective types of films that have the most potential, in my opinion. Whereas something like Shawshank hits all the bases, but leaves me with nothing new; uninspired.

I gave it a 72, but I could easily see why it would be perceived as something great.

But I don't think one could go far wrong if one watched either Kanal or Bin-Jip

I was wrong. I was so wrong. Kanal is the best film I've seen in a long time.

And I watched it in the day time. I can't wait to see it at night.

A couple of 10th July recs:

11.40pm In the Heat of the Night (15) (FILM) 1967 - ITV3

2.10am The Hired Hand (15) (FILM) 1971 - Film4+1 ---- obviously it's on at 1:10am on the regular FIlm4 channel.


Looks like four hours sleep, tonight, for paul

Ah crap. You wait for these to come on the TV and when they finally do you can't find the time to watch them. Typical!

Nice thread! I've yet to see a Bergman film but I've got the Sky+ set up to record Wild Strawberries now.

It will likely be empty round here for a while as I have family down, so I don't get to watch much Sky TV. I'd post on here, anyway, but I don't like discussing what I don't get to watch .

It does seem that Film4 is having a bit of an Ingmar Bergman fest, though. I hate to think what I've missed.

Although Sommarlek isn't supposed to be very good.

Smiles of a Summer Night is on tomorrow

The Virgin Spring is on Saturday night (1am, Snday)

Persona is on Sunday night

Scenes From a Marriage is on Monday night.

Dang it. Summer with Monika and The Seventh Seal were on the other day.

...awww Fuck. They may repeat in just under a week or so, they may not.
