Survivors (2008)
Unwatchable woke propoganda
I watched and loved the original 70s series. It was flawed but real, gritty and thought provoking
This is a poor shadow with a much higher budget. This horrific millennial production shouts "white man bad- women and non whites all good" is like being punched in the face by blue haired woman!!
Bloody hell BBC what went wrong? It's almost as bad as your regurgitation of War of the worlds.
The Family Way (1966)
one of the best films you've never heard of
This stands alongside "Its a wonderful life " as something sure to make any intelligent viewer laugh and weep with delight - which is no easy task for a hardened film fan and curmudgeon such as I. I cringe at sentimentality and so much formulaic drama but this sweeps you up, takes its time to draw you in with laughs from delightful performances and a genius script of delicate and succinct storytelling. We the audience, see all the pieces of a small puzzle fit together beautifully. By the end you will gasp with delight at the resolution. Ignore or enjoy the dated setting and period, - this film is not about England in the 1960s its about heart, family and genuine everyday love, with understated and underrated power. One of the greatest movies you have never heard of!!
