Yep, it gets shown on Film 4 every now and again. I think that it was on a couple of weeks ago.
When was the last time Melody was shown? Basically think of a school love story with elements of If involved( the school gets destroyed in a riot) and featuring Mark Lester and Jack Wilde.
Latin is a crappy, outdated language.
Julius Caesar would be very disappointed with you, boy.

Oh wow, I remember Melody - my older sister was a huge Jack Wild fan. I also remember a film he did called Flight of the Doves.
I can remember when BBC2 used to show old films regularly, but these days films from before the 80s don't seem to get shown on terrestrial TV - unless they are classics, like Battle of Britain which got shown today on one of the channels. It's a real shame.

Good pick. Another at around the same time was Clean, Shaven, which I'd love to see again on the box.

Film 4 have shown a load of them, only a couple of years ago. Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Persona and Cries and Whispers got shown(a few more as well).
Sawdust and Tinsel got shown on BBC 4 when Ingmar Bergman was still alive and the BBC got to interview him. I think that might have been 2006?

Good call. Dir. Richard Rush also made The Stuntman, another good film that ought to be shown more.
Can't remember Something Wicked This Way Comes ever being shown too.
The Disney version of Robin Hood (with the fox playing Robin Hood). Used to have it on VHS as a kid. I remember it was on one Xmas about 2 years ago but thats it really.

I think I saw that in the old 'Moviedrome' slot on BBC2. I wish they'd bring that back.
