You're sig is waaaay too big just to let you know. Have a read of the FAQ for the limits in size.

I've never seen it, what is it about?

[noodle] your signature is way too big, you can have one 400x75 pixels and up to 20k in size so you should edit it soon. Cheers.

Totally overlooked film, based on a true story, and Pachino at his best.

Some gangsters who rob a bank lodge at an old lady's house, pretending to be musicians. They get the woman to pick up the money for them, but she eventually discovers that they're not musicians. They decided they have to kill her, but the guy who draws the short straw is too nice to do it. They all end up killing each other in the end, and the old lady gets the money. Happy ending!

Kind Hearts and Coronets, 1949, starring Sir Alec Guinness as seven men and one woman

Night oif the Demon aka Curse of the Demon 1957... still one of the few genuinly scarey movies.. along with the Original *The Haunting*... C Z Jones obviously refused to stay true to her character , who in the original, was a lesbian..

I agree with the Big Sleep.. Bogart's and Bacall's characters are impossibly cool ,their dialogue with eachother is the sort of thing us mere mortals can only aspire to...

Theres an old compendium of ghost stories narrated by an architect that is truly quite chilling the title of which escapes me... One involves the story of a picture in a gallery and how it is alive...

I've heard rumours Kind hearts and coronets is to be remade with Johnny Depp in the lead role... might actually be good... now that would be a surprise... :eek:
