Tutti Frutti (1987)
Absolute belter!
Been a while (35years I think), and back on the BBC as a tribute to Robbie Coltrane, but it's not lost any of it charm. Every single actor from the main characters down to bit parts buying clothes in the managers shop plays a blinder. They really don't make them like this any more. It's a slow burning, takes it time kind of drama. It has shots that mean nothing to the narrative but look good and raise a smile. I think I only saw it once but I seem to remember loads of lines. In a way I like the fact that John Byrne hardly wrote anything else and it has hardly ever been seen by anyone I know. It made me fall in love with Emma Thompson and Robbie Coltrane, after this they could do no wrong. There's even a cool bit in the Glasgow School of Art.
A classic.
The 39 Steps (1935)
Fabulous
An absolute classic. 86 years old as I write this but don't be put off by that. Just over 90 minutes long and every minute enjoyable. Hitchcock at his best. Well worth a watch.
