My fav nunspoitation movie is Black Narcissus. Nuns go crazy for local hunky civil servant colonial government agent in high altitude India.I saw The Little Hours which was a nunsploitation film. It was based on a story from the Decameron, whigh just goes to demonstrate how old this genre is, about 500 years older than the Western by my reckoning.

Saw the trailer for that on Film4 the other day and thought it looked like a bloody good movie to watch with a few drinks and brain disengaged - thanks for the confirmation. Somehow I forgot to set my system up to record that last night, but Monday night's showing is now programmed in.The Great Wall - colourful epic with Matt Damon, Jing Tian , Pedro Pascal and, for some unknown reason, Willem Dafoe. The dialog was excruciating, the special effects dreadful, the acting wooden and the plot so full of holes you could drive a Dongfeng through it ... but, I loved every minute of the brilliant mess
this from imdb : "The dialogue is as if it may have been written in Chinese, gone through a google translation into, say Finnish, and then another google translation into English. There is a nameless order (who all have names) and are colour-coded in order of their expertise (blue is for bunjee jumping!). "
1/10 not recommended unless you like that sort of thing
I watched Frenzy for the first time very recently... I'd never heard of it so figured it might be one of Hitchcock's clangers, but it was excellent... shame it seldom gets a mention.I can never decide on my favourite Hitchcock film.
My top 4 are:
Vertigo
North by North West
The 39 Steps
Rear Window
But don't ask me to put them in order!
Saboteur is well worth a watch too, and Touch of Evil has some wonderful shots.
Payback, a revenge/gangster flick starring Mel Gibson. Somehow this 20yr old film had passed me by, but i thoroughly enjoyed it.
