IMO, it's better than David Lean's other classics, Lawrence of Arabia and Dr Zhivago. The Stephen King-inspired Shawshank Redemption is very good, but have you seen The Green Mile?

evadgib Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 This thread has thrown me a bone re an old black and white film set in WW1 I saw years ago but I cannot remember the name of it or who was in it. Can anyone recognise it from this description? - It may well have been dubbed from a foreign language, presumably French correct. - The storyline is about a young soldier badly injured in an explosion after killing (Drowning!) an enemy soldier when both ended up in a crater full of water in no mans land. - In hospital it slowly becomes clear that he lost all 4 limbs plus his sight. - After many years (perhaps after WW2?) someone realises that his constant tapping (head on headboard) is MORSE CODE and that they can communicate with him by tapping on his forehead. - The film by all accounts was autobiographical, told in flashbacks and narrated in the words of the bed ridden patient. I saw it as a teenager in the 70's & assume it was made in the 50's. I'd watch it again if I knew where to look! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khon Kaen Dave Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Cat people, a modern remake of the years earlier film.Natasha Kinsky.Theme music was called 'The Myth' Bowie asked to sing it,adding lyrics,'putting out the fire'. Green mile,Tom Hanks. The guy who played John Coffee,died early in real life,big black guy,good supporting actor.I think the Prison was called 'cold Mountain' in Alabama. Shawshank Redemption,a short story by Stephen King,it was called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redepmtion.Rita Hayworth was the first poster that 'Du Prinze' had in his cell,in the story. Needless things,Stephen King.Max von Sydal i seem to remember. Dead mans shoes,it won the Edinborough film festival some years ago now.i dont think many people would know of it.Its about a squaddie whom returns home to investigate the death of his Autistic Brother.Great twist at the end. Rocky and Rambo movies,great entertainment. Michael Collins. There really are too many to mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khon Kaen Dave Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 To those who mentioned Charles Laughton.His best movie.'Hobsons Choice' Charles Laughton.

The guy who played Albert Tatlock in Corrie (he was the boot boy) The actress who was in Marriage lines years ago Pracilla someone And a very old actress who played the part of her ladyship who ordered the first pair of boots.And the name of the pub was the Moon rakes.

Ramen087 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Films that qualify as outstanding released in more recent years... my main criteria is they can be viewed multiple times and still be thoroughly enjoyed by the viewer.
