HELL DRIVERS.....i think ;)

Patrick McGoohan and Stanley Baker

Awesome film about ruffty tuffty tipper drivers in the 50s or 60s...fast action, awesome driving in country roads...brilliant.

I often thought, even before i considered myself a cyclist,.....christ help anyone coming the opposite direction on a bike...you'd be flattened in a second.

Am i REALLY showing my age, or are old films universally liked....whats yours ?

Has anyone seen a film from the 70s called Static?

It's about a guy who's parents die and he makes a machine to talk to them in heaven?

He also holds up a bus to get publicity for it. It sounds strange but it is amazing
