smanning   10 #62 Posted June 10, 2014 My Winnipeg - a fake documentary about a Canadain City. I saw it at the Showroom a years back and it completely took me by surprise. Must have seen it about ten times since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Shieldtoad   10 #63 Posted May 6, 2015 It took me ages to track down La Cabina as an adult. I too saw it on telly as a young child and it stayed with me for years. It's every bit as good as you remember it, even though there's an element to it that only fully works once.  It's name was lost to me and eventually, I couldn't work out whether or not it was a nightmare, a product of my febrile childhood imagination or an actual short film.  One of the things that makes it so striking is the physical comedy. No more should be said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

stpetre   12 #68 Posted April 21, 2017 Bagdad Café starring Jack Palance (made in 1988). Despite the title the film is not set in the middle east but refers to a truck stop/motel in southern California. A weird, quirky, bizarre (and I think very good) film with some real peculiar characters. The film has one of the best soundtrack lead (eerie) songs one is likely to hear.

melthebell   862 #69 Posted May 29, 2017 just found out about this short film, made and based in Northern Ireland during the troubles, its about punks, skinheads   not bad (13 minutes long)  Aoife McArdle’s Every Breaking Wave is a short film based on the U2 song of the same name. Set on the streets early 80s Northern Ireland, Every Breaking Wave is built around themes of emotional abandon and the uncertainty of romantic relationships.

Â I remember when this was shown as part of a double bill on the BBC on Saturday night. Can't remember which other film it was paired with (perhaps The Ghoul, or The Crazies). This would've been in the late 1970s. Like you it terrified me! Â ---------- Post added 29-05-2017 at 16:15 ---------- Â from beyond the grave ( 1974 ) for an obscure film take a look at the cast list, Peter Cushing, Ian Bannen, Diana Dors, Ian Ogilvy, and the brilliant Donald and Angela Pleasence. Â The first segment in that film, 'The Mirror' starring David Warner really terrified me. Pity the other stories weren't as good!
