Films and Cinema
Films - old and new - at IMDB where you can find anything about films from many countries (International Movie Data Base), information about cast, directors, actors, place of recording, etc.
A fantastic "Encyclopedia of Film" for
fans!
Nostalgic Corner
Once upon a time there was only one TV channel in Sweden, and only in black and white! The happy owners of a television set often got visits from friends and neighbours, and the sitting room was crowded when it was time for a "Quest Show" or the BONANZA !!!!!! You had to have enough tea and coffee at home for unexpected guests!
The Cartwrights (1959 - 1973)!
Hoss was kind, Adam was handsome, Little Joe was in the heart of every teenage girl, and show us anybody, born 1940 or later, who cannot sing-along with the melody - sound clips for "Bonanza" (1959) from IMDB.
Listen to the Bonanza theme, and other themes you have forgotten, at MIDI
themes of classical TV series and have a look at this - Scenery of the Ponderosa, all the boys on horseback!
Even more nostalgia in this link: Ponderosa The Map - The map we all remember!
Some quotable cues from the Bonanza-site>
Ben: "I've got nothing against education. As long as it doesn't interfere with your thinking." ...
(To Adam in The Savage)
Adam: "You see Hoss that's how it is. When you buy a dog you get the bark too." (HoundDog)
Hoss: "Well, there was this fella named Stradi and he made various violins. And this is one of 'em." (Maestro Hoss)
Little Joe: "I got us out of more trouble today than I got us out of yesterday" (to Hoss in the FJC)

Mini Quest >
Who was the actor playing Manolito in High Chaparral?
Check at IMDB!
The sheriff in Gunsmoke, is it not
Macahan? IMDB knows.
Moviepooper - THE END! - But how? In Casablanca? If you want to refresh the memory!
A very special opera film >
|
Bizet's opera Carmen is set up in Seville. The Spanish director Carlos Saura has made a fantastic film about a company of Flamenco Dancers and how they perform the opera by dancing the score, even if you sometimes can hear Bizet's music in the background. A film both for fans of Opera and fans of Flamenco. It has "duende" - the soul and heart of Spain.
You can find it on a DVD at www.amazon.co.uk - It is easy to order and get it

If you like Jacques Tati you can find his films at Amazon, too. In French but with English subtitles.
Enjoy yourself on a tour in Tativille - Le site
officiel de Jacques Tati, with many memorable clips from the films and with sound clips as well! But take your time, there are lots of "extras" in just moving the cursor over the page!! Available in English.
Films with a bit uncommon actors
MuffinFilms - 12 different Muffins. Do not miss the Grand Muffinale!
Wallace & Gromit - A close shave.
Gromit is a very special dog, he knows how to knit!
 Picture from the website for Minuscule - The Ladybug
Minuscule - a French animated serie of short films about bugs and other little creepy-crawly personalities. Films for for all ages! You can order them on DVD from the French Amazon.
Minuscule's webpage is full of clever sidelinks! Games, video excerpts, icons, wallpapers (with the only bugs healthy for a computer! ;-)!
Find the sidelink to Video of the month :-), but you can also watch the trailer about the naughty ladybug, and other films and excerpts from the serie. For example: Rain and sneeze
