The Ladykillers - Film 4 3.20pm

[Mr_B]

My most favourite film ever made deserves is own thread. The 1955 original is simply brilliant, and for me, the best of the Ealing studios films. That is all.

Love the classic british movies like this .... one of my favourites . the remake was a total travesty though. got to say i think one of my all time faves is two way stretch with peter sellars.

Agree... The remake made me want to insert my own testicles into the waste extractor. The original is superb, as we're most of the Ealing comedies. May favorites for those looking for others have to be The Lavender Hill Mob, and Kind HeRts and Coronets.

+1 Kind Hearts and Coronets

Or the Italian remake, "Kind Hearts and Cornettos".

I love "The Ladykillers" and have the DVD.

Lavender Hill Mob is on, on New Year's Eve.

I have a VHS Ealing boxset from many moons ago.
My personal faves, Ladykillers, Kind Hearts and Coronets and Passport to Pimlico.

I wouldn't mind seeing a decent remake...if it was handled correctly.

I also like Last Holiday, The Ticket and the Will Hay/Moore Marriot/Graham Moffat films
