"When jesus comes back does he really want to see a bunch of crosses?" B. Hicks

Aww....Bill Hicks, what a guy. I went to see him when he played the beer tent in Manchester. Was awesome. My ex and I were in Manchester just hangin around and we bumped into his dad who just happened to be a Guardian critic at the time. He told us he was reviewing Bill Hicks and invited us to join him. We'd never heard of him but we leapt at the chance of free entry to a comedian's show and free half time drinks to boot.

Two years later he was dead and well on the way to hero status. ( Bill that is.....Ex's dad is still going strong)

Oh wow, I almost remember seeing that. It was the early 80s, which is why I only almost remember.

It was bizarre.

Horseman on the Roof - epic-style French drama set in time of cholera plague and war - holds the attention well despite the subtitles

Ahhh, Eraserhead. A classic, no doubt!

Courtesy of one of our national dailies (Daily Mail) I've just acquired a set of DVDs of some of the great British Ealing Studios classics - includes 'Kind Hearts and Coronets', 'The Man in the White Suit', the original 'The Ladykillers'
'Passport to Pimlico' and a good few others...

That was a tremedously funny movie.

Alec Guinness made a lot of comedies in the 50's and 60's

I also remember seeing part of "The Captains Paradise", about a ferry captain who is a bigamist with wives on both shores.

In Barnacle Bill, Alec Guiness is a seasick captain from a long line of naval heroes who inherits an amusement pier.

Our Man in Havana is about a British Intelligence contractor who invents stories in order to make ends meet. It's like The Tailor of Panama, but it's a comedy and was done decades before leCarre wrote the novel that became that movie.

Guinness is fine as a serious actor, but he is brilliant in comedies.

There was an old man sitting in the front row, with this really crazy guffaw...the movie was funny on its own, but with that guy providing the bonus laugh track, it was totally hilarious.
