There was a film about Princess Diana a couple of years back.....cant remember the actress for sure.....hyphenated name....maybe Kristen or Serena Scott-Thomas ??.....but very dodgy accent
I'm sure the Brits on the forum can come up with more examples

Zidane

Kristen Scott-Thomas is English.

Some excellent movies mentioned already.

Another great movie i never tire of is......'Duel', 1971 with Dennis Weaver, Fantastic.

And there is something about Grease that i can't put my finger on, a early trip out to the cinema in my boyhood days with a new girlfriend in tow might have something to do with it...or could just be the superb John Travolta.

Yeah,it was Serena Scott-Thomas who played the role with a dodgy english accent (had to look it up on the internet).
Maybe Kristen Scott-Thomas has a dodgy american accent

A link I use a lot to find info about movies. Use the search engine at the top and it gives movie review, rating, cast, trivia info, goofs, etc.

Have many favorite movies. But I'm reluctant to name them on a forum or even a casual date. It used to be a a topic for casual conversation, but since the internet came alive many banks and credit card companies use "Favorite Movie" as a security question when you apply. Trust me, I have been interrogated by unscrupulous women many times that only wanted that type of information to make a fast buck. So far, I've counted myself lucky. Or maybe I'm just paranoid...

they ask for....favorite movie
first car
pets name

I say "why not just ask for my bank account number and PIN and SSN, that's what you're trying to get?"

be careful here Gentlemen, remember it's a online forum.

Well they will have to have hundreds of guesses , but i think after 4 or 5 something will block out the transaction, not that i have a fav movie on file of course , never been asked.

'Er indoors was watching The Departed, she asked me how old was Leododo Di Caplio, went to imdb so now I know Leonardo Di Caprio's mother's maiden name, father's first name, dogs name, brother's name, his favourite movie, favourite actor, favourite director. Armed with that and given that he makes $20 million per movie I think you are ok TTF. Relax!

O.M.G.....can't believe it, someone else knows about school for scoundrels.....

Love it to bits and i even use a few of the phrases used in it to my advantage at times, a real british classic full of superb lines.

'Love Dunstan and Dudley The winsome-Welshmen,the used car salesman...trying to sell the Outrageous Swift Mobile, "It was made for the 'Maharajah of Corsica Dor', the wheels were specially made to fit the tyres you know..!!,, Spares.!!.Spares..!! old boy, you don't need spares these where soo good the people who made the spares went out of business"...Terry Thomas,Ian Carmicheal,Alistair Sim, Peter Jones.

A 48 years old movie..fantastic, was going to mention it but just thought no one would really know it, how wrong i was..LOL... Spendid..!!

Talk about being on the same wave length as prenders and farang.. =D>

Ohh yeah and anything with Laurel and Hardy.

(love that l+h music vid mate)

Does anyone know why each of the vids in farang's post come up with "We're sorry. This video is no longer available." I get this a lot on video posts to the forum. Might be Firefox related?
