RIP Alan Parker : Fri Jul 31, 2020 4:51 pm  

Bugsy Malone amongst many other films that have been a part of my life. I had the pleasure of meeting him once, a thoroughly nice fella. I do wonder who is making anything like a legacy now. When Spielberg, Pacino, Cane, Travolta, Sam LJ etc. go what will we have left, no real actors, that is for sure. Even Tom Cruise is embarrassing himself flogging the MI franchise to death.

But you probably thought them three meddling civil rights kids 'got what was coming' as well?

The Commitments.
Brilliant adaptation of Roddy Doyle’s Dublin set novel.
