" Play Dirty" is not often shown , great performance from Nigel Davenport and Nigel Greene



"Sleuth 1972"

The taking of Pelham 123.

Watch this brilliant film, then understand why the remake was so upsetting!

[Scotter]

Talking of Pelham 123,Charley Varrick with Walter Matthau also worth a watch.
I was talking about this other film with James Coburn to a colleague today and it’s due another watch,great twist at the end.
Too many great films to mention really and someone better placed will name many more.

Pulp.

I think it was MC’s next film after Get Carter. He plays a sleazy pulp fiction author who is lured to Malta.

It is slightly odd, but I like it.

A couple of early '70s British oddities:

The Rise & Rise of Michael Rimmer with Peter Cook and a great supporting cast. A satircal view of the faceless spin-doctor years before it was a thing.

O Lucky Man, the second part of the Nick Travis trilogy and my favourite.

From IMDB:

An ambitious coffee salesman has a series of improbable and ironic adventures that seem designed to challenge his naive idealism.l

Which is all you need to know really, the rest of it is just a total trip.

Probably not a great film, but I have fond memory of "Water".

Michael Caine as lazy governor of some out of the way island, Billy Connoly as the local revolutionary.

[Muzzer79]

Escape from Alcatraz (1979) with Clint Eastwood is one of my favourite films.

[SpeedBash]

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot

[Mr.Chips]

Gumshoe with Albert Finney. A brilliant little film with a good cast of British TV stalwarts, Fulton McKay, Wendy Richard’s, Frank Finlay etc.

There is a very big difference between a film from 1961, 1966 and 1971. You should narrow the time period and what type of film you want.

Great for location spotting if you know the islands

Three Days of the Condor

Love that film.. I bought a peacoat on the basis of it but my Mrs says I don't look a patch on Robert Redford

[LARK F1 GTR]

Midnight Express. I've only seen it once but I'd watch it again.

[ThePrisoner]

Play misty for me.

One of my favourite Clint Eastwood films.

Blow Up with David Hemmings .

Just a brilliant mid sixties take on life.

[Rough101]

Fahrenheit 451 directed by François Truffaut

[ThePrisoner]

Keeping with the Michael Caine theme.

The Black Windmill.

Excellent film from this era.
