Neil Forbes 3rd Oct 2015		Cinema Young Frankenstein (1974) (1974)	A gem of a film! So many punch-lines! Probably Mel Brooks' best-ever work.
Neil Forbes 30th Sep 2015		Cinema Jack The Ripper (1959) (1959)	I guess, George, we both had a "Maxwell Smart Moment".... Missed it by tha-a-a-at much!
Neil Forbes 30th Sep 2015		Cinema Jack The Ripper (1959) (1959)	George Slv: - "....the London Jack The Ripper of 1988" Shouldn't that have been 1898?
Neil Forbes 30th Sep 2015		Cinema Jack The Ripper (1959) (1959)	Walking down the street the other day, saw a pile of shredded paper so I knew "Jack The Ripper" had been here! Ha-ha!
Neil Forbes 24th Sep 2015		Cinema Carry On Sergeant (1958) (1958)	This was the first of the Carry-On "franchise" and featured William Hartnell five years before he became the first Dr. Who.
Neil Forbes 23rd Sep 2015		Cinema The Fastest Guitar Alive (1967) (1967)	@Neil86, actually "There Won't Be Many Coming Home" could've referred to ANY conflict, not just Viet Nam. Though it was included in the (supposed) soundtrack album, but not the film, it might've referred to the Civil War, for purposes of context in the movie.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema The Fastest Guitar Alive (1967) (1967)	@Jasper, I do recall seeing an LP issued in Australia on the London label(for contractural reasons) of the movie soundtrack, but I only saw it once many years ago. I wouldn't have thought it would be re-issued on CD though. It's quite a surprise that you've found and uploaded it.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema Heebie Jeebies (2005)	This is what "An American Haunting" might give you.... the "heebie-jeebies"! ha-ha.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema An American Haunting (2005) (2005)	Sorry, can't here ya! Spook louder! ha-ha!
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema The Fastest Guitar Alive (1967) (1967)	Ah, RC, the title's actually "Cry Softly Lonely One" which was the A-side of the single, "Pistolero" was the B-side.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema An American Haunting (2005) (2005)	No comments on this one? Hey, whatsa-matter? You afraid of the ghosts? No worries, they're all shy! They don't want to come out and make a "spectre-cle" of themselves! ha-ha.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema The Fastest Guitar Alive (1967) (1967)	As I said, it was his ONLY movie appearance. The movie was a "contrived" piece, in order to fit Orbison in, much like Elvis Presley's films, all contrived and built around Presley with songs that Presley himself said he hated doing most of them. But in this film, Roy Orbison himself composed all the songs(some with partner, Bill Dees). Another song from this film is "There Won't Be Many Coming Home", an all-time Orbison classic!
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973) (1973)	Big Chill soundtrack? I was a bit disappointed in that album... left me cold!(get it?...Chill! Ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973) (1973)	@RC, I wasn't aware of that one! Even so, you buy the record for the music, not imbecilic rantings!
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema The Fastest Guitar Alive (1967) (1967)	In that clip I think I also spotted Ernest Borgnine. The song was on the B-side of "Cry Softly, Lonely One". The movie was Orbison's ONLY opportunity to act, a movie career was the reason why he switched from Monument to M-G-M in the first place.
Neil Forbes 22nd Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973) (1973)	@Gemsfan, He(Wolfman) might've belonged in the movie but DEFINITELY NOT on the soundtrack album! His stupid carry-on ruined the tracks over which he was superimposed.
Neil Forbes 17th Sep 2015		Cinema Along Came Jones (1945) (1945)	O, doch ja! Leiber und Stoller mussen bei Fernsehaparat gesitzt, ihre berühmtes Lied, *Along Came Jones* schreiben gewessen, als dieses Spielfilm vorgestellt war. ...And for those who don't speak Deutsch.... Ah yes! Leiber and Stoller must've been sitting in front of their TV set, writing their famous song, *Along Came Jones* as this movie was being shown.
Neil Forbes 17th Sep 2015		Cinema Along Came Jones (1945) (1945)	Aah, zis must be ze movie ze Coasters zang aboot!(sorry, Fake German accent there, Entschuldigen Sie bitte!.... Normal: Ah, this must be the movie The Coasters sang about!)
Neil Forbes 17th Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973) (1973)	@RC, yes, and the Wilson in that group(more likely duo) was the daughter of either Brian, Carl or Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys(not sure which one, but by naming all three I have a 33-and-a-third% chance of being correct, revolutionary odds! ha-ha).
Neil Forbes 17th Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973) (1973)	Starting with Rock Around The Clock(Haley & Comets) and ending with All Summer Long(Beach Boys), one disc has 20 tracks, the other has 21. Scan the front cover from either the LP(using "I.C.E." to stitch the four segments together, or scanning the CD cover(a lot easier). Type in the more detailed track list on an inner card and a basic track listing on the rear inlay card(the bit that goes under the disc holder). I'm gonna have some fun puttin' this one together! ha-ha.
Neil Forbes 17th Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973) (1973)	@RC, Did you follow the track order? A dumb question, I know, but I felt I had to ask.
Neil Forbes 17th Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973) (1973)	@RC, having the songs in their pure form, without WJ's inane, stupid chatter, You'd be able to assemble your own CD, as I may do. I have a couple of the songs without his rants, Just have to chase up a few more to complete the set.
Neil Forbes 17th Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973) (1973)	Thank you, Zabadak! If Wolfman Jack is(or was, he did fall off the twig some twenty-odd years ago) an example of American radio presenters(I no longer call them "Disc Jockeys") then American commercial radio is rubbish!
Neil Forbes 16th Sep 2015		Cinema American Graffiti (1973) (1973)	The accompanying soundtrack album would've been a thousand times better if they'd only kept that moron, Wolfman Jack out of it. His stupid ramblings spoilt the album. Bad enough he was in the movie at all!
Neil Forbes 5th Sep 2015		Cinema The Invisible Man (1933)	A truly sad story this! His girlfriend took him home to meet her mother and she saw right through him!(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		Cinema Police Academy (1984) (1984)	OOOOO-Aaaaah! You mean Jeanie Li-i-i-ttle!
Neil Forbes 15th Aug 2015		Cinema Police Academy (1984) (1984)	Aww rats! I didn't have a stereo VCR back then... And my Thorn Model 48T1 VHF/UHF TV was monaural too! Double bummer!
Neil Forbes 12th Aug 2015		Cinema Police Academy (1984) (1984)	Ah yes! The first Police Academy movie! This ranks alongside "Flying High"("Airplane" in US and elsewhere) as one of the all-time funniest movies ever, helped along, no doubt, by Michael Winslow's vocal gymnastics(sound effects). Police Academy 2 was as good but the third through seventh in the franchise could not live up to the same standards as the first two.
Neil Forbes 11th Aug 2015		Cinema Airplane! (Flying High) (1980) (1980)	Doo-doo-bidooby!(Meh-ne-meh-ne!)
Neil Forbes 11th Aug 2015		Cinema Krakatoa: East Of Java (1968) (1968)	Monolith, I was expecting you to say: ".... No, and don't call me Shirley"(ha ha) but you didn't "bite". First time I came across John Leyton was at Mt. Wilga Rehabilitation Centre in Hornsby(an outer northern suburb of Sydney, NSW) in 1972. I was resident there for a couple of months and another resident had a British HMV single of him doing "Beautiful Dreamer", an up-tempo version. The singe was of about 1963 vintage. The second time I came across John Leyton I picked up a copy of "Cupboard Love" a few years ago(sadly the record was accidentally recently damaged). I think I managed to get the track onto a CD before it was damaged and I have it(the CD) somewhere about.
