Anything from Laurel and Hardy. Was gob smacked the other day when the subject came up at work and a couple of younger colleagues had never heard of them.

I've always hated the German name for Laurel and Hardy: Dick & Doof, it's so crass...
My favourite movies as a child: Dr Who and the Daleks / Invasion Earth - The Italian Job - Connery's Bond movies ....

As a young teenager, I loved Animal House, Life of Brian and the Blues Brothers.
I preferred Abbott and Costello to Laurel and Hardy. Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin were a great double act too.

Hook for me - used to watch it religiously at weekends and it's where my love of Robin Williams came from!
Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Star WarsLife should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

if you're going for TV then the one that sticks out for me was Buck Rogers with Gil Gerard and Erin Gray!! The original Star Trek series, Land of the Giants and one I never admitted to watching but loved...... The Waltons!!

Flickin through the telly box for the weekend and just spied that Ch5 are having an 80's Movie marathon on Sunday! And am working... . Starts at 1pm with Innerspace starring Dennis Quaid (my claim to fame being I caddied for him at Muirfield in the mid 90's!!) Then it's Stand By Me at 3.20pm, an absolute classic of a film! 4.55pm it's onto Honey I Shrunk The Kids.... Loving it!! Followed at 6.45 by Wargames, (will be honest and say I've not seen it.) Top Gun at 9pm!! "Talk to me Goose." And last but not least Young Guns at 11.15pm. Think the only one I would change is Wargames for Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure and I'd be in heaven!!! If I wasn't working till 5.30!!

You still occasionally hear some people using the phrase "brewstered", meaning flush for cash, or rich. :)Last edited by over the line; 05-03-2015 at 09:57 PM.

Just remembered, Weird Science! Classic, especially the bit at the end with the motorbike gang
The Laurel and Hardy short "Towed in a Hole" is probably the best piece of television and acting I've ever seen:
Stanley: You know, Ollie, I been thinkin'! Oliver: What about?
Stanley: Well, if we caught our own fish, then we wouldn't have to pay for it and whoever we sold it to, it would be clear profit.
Oliver: Tell me that again!
Stanley: Well, if we caught our own fish, then the people we sold it to wouldn't have to pay for it, the profit would go to the fish...
Oliver: That's a pretty smart thought!
