          Yes all the more poignant for being based on real life.

          Surprisingly enough, it was produced by Mel Brooks! (Uncredited) [​IMG]

          I've got that recordeed on my hard drive awaiting a watch.

          We watched This Is Spinal Tap yesterday. Quite funny.

            I watched 'Meet the Parents' with Robert de Niro, first time I have seen de Niro do comedy, he is an absolute natural at it, very very funny.

            Bad Teacher was on the other night and I couldn't be bothered to change channels. Was quite pleasantly surprised - made me laugh anyway.

              DeNiro in a comic role in Mad Dog And Glory is very good but he is opposite Bill Murray who is a comedic god :love30:

              Ah yes - I adore Bill Murray! Loved him especially in What About Bob? (not many seem to have seen that one).

              A great guy....he prefers to hang out with non celebs.


              An amusing incident that shows what he is like. He went into a restaurant and pinched a
              chip from someone's plate. The person looked up and recognised him. Bill just gestured
              "shhhh....they'll never believe you!" :biggrin:

                Sorry, but I just hated it :dunno: But then I rate Braindead as one of the greatest films ever so that's not saying much.:heehee:

                    Half way through the film Papillon.

                    Watched the Elephant man finally a few days ago too. Brilliant film.

                      The wife and I saw the 2nd Marigold Hotel at the movies.
                      Was as good as the first.

                        Totally agree, they knew how to make good films back then.
