I've genuinely never even heard of it. Tell me these 2 situations have been resolved by now. I came in to mention this film and a search showed me it is well represented already, so that's good. But you've had over 3 years now to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 What are the hard and fast rules on criteria here, and do they stretch as far as co-written and produced by Englishmen (where the other writer and director was Japanese and the story was based on a South African book)?

It's the same ginger shit setting the fires every week, at what point do they accept that he's a dangerous Welsh pyromaniac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's prime picking for a gritty, adult, sequel film, where Sam is retired, and Norman has moved on to more...nefarious activities. I'd call it........Pontypandy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Expectations(1946) Lord of the Flies(1963) I was waiting for a David Lean film to appear and Great Expectations is certainly worthy of a vote. Lawrence of Arabia or Bridge on the River Kwai, and even In Which We Serve, are also worthy. I can remember Spielberg saying that Lawrence of Arabia was his greatest inspiration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
