Surprisingly good films on Filmfour

[Phil_A]

I thought it was worth making a thread to point out that, amongst their usual slew of mediocrity, Filmfour have slipped some pretty decent stuff into the schedules recently. They've had a Kurosawa film every Thursday morning for the last few weeks. They've also recently shown Don McKellar's great but rarely seen end of the world tragi-comedy Last Night, and today(which I'm annoyed to've missed, but it's on again Thursday) was the equally rare 70s oddity They Might Be Giants, starring George C Scott as a madman who thinks he's Sherlock Holmes. Currently going for £187(!) on DVD.

Please feel free to mention any other diamonds you spot amongst the shite!

I seem to remember Filmfour going through a phase of showing a Ingmar Bergman film at midnight at some point every week.  They also had a Sergio Mendes period where they showed all of the Dollars trilogy over the course of three days.  I haven't paid attention to what they've been showing in ages though, so this is a good idea for a thread.

You still have to put up with bloody adverts though.

Classics.

Haha, that's not the first time I've made that mistake either.
