Action drama offering a gritty portrayal of the life of Carlton
Leach (Ricci Harnett), football hooligan, whose innate ferocity
propels him into an escalating life of serious crime. Over the
course of three decades, Leach 'progresses' from attack-dog
hooligan to nightclub bouncer, before becoming involved with the
ever-expanding drug scene - his passport into the criminal elite.
The 1970s were a Golden Age for American film-making, with the
emergence of such talents as Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg, Lucas,
De Palma and Altman. Ryan Gilbey now looks afresh at the remarkable
movies of this era, and their gifted makers. Today these directors
are sometimes lambasted as sell-outs or burn-outs, but their best
films of the Seventies - from American Graffiti to The
Conversation, Nashville to Carrie, Badlands to Taxi Driver - still
feel as urgent and innovative as they did on first release, and
still inspire young film-makers at a time when movies are once more
depressingly formulaic. These directors cultivated a fascinating
eclecticism, driven by creative hunger and insatiable imagination.
But what in the American scene were they reacting against, and just
as crucially, what were they celebrating (or pillaging from other
sources)? Gilbey also considers directors who established a body of
work in the Seventies (Woody Allen), who blossomed as the decade
progressed (David Lynch, Jonathan Demme), or who were prominent
figures without being prolific (Stanley Kubrick, Terrence Malick).
He takes each film and assesses its place in history while also
scrutinising it as if for the very first time - as if it were
coming to a cinema near you this Friday ...
One of the most revealing snapshots of British cinema-going ever
produced, "The Ultimate Film" is the definitive list of the
all-time top 100 films based on UK cinema admissions. From the
1930s to the present, the chart shows the diverse tastes that come
together to make up Britain's choice of film favorites.
Is Harry Potter more popular than The Lord of the Rings? How does
Bond compare with Bridget Jones? "The Ultimate Film" has the
answers taking the reader from "Carry on Nurse" to "A Clockwork
Orange, South Pacific "to "Star Wars" and "Ben Hur" all the way to
"Doctor Zhivago,"
Each film is looked at in turn. What did the critics think of it
when it was released and, with the benefit of hindsight, were they
right? Who were the stars and who directed the action? What
happened behind the scenes? What other films were being lauded at
the same time? What was happening in the country and the wider
world that led the film to be made, and then made it so
popular?
Sure to provoke debate and discussion, this fascinating and
lavishly illustrated book tells us much about our shared history,
culture and attitudes.
This is the first time a list has been compiled based on the films
people have most wanted to see. Some of the results will come as a
surprise and the list has much to tell us about how we once were,
and how cinema going has played no small part in shaping our
culture and helped make us the way we are today.
"The Ultimate Film" contains a number of breakout sections--lists
within a list to satisfy the most ardent film buff:
* Leading Ladies--discusses the female stars who did and didn't
make the list
* My Name's Bond--Britain's most successful film
franchiseexplored
* Missing Men--the male stars included and surprisingly
absent
* Ones that Got Away--Classic films not in the list
* Drawing the Crowds--Animated films and their continued
popularity
* Picture Palaces--The history and evolution of British
cinemas
* The Film at War--How wartime affected film production and cinema
going
It is becoming clearer and clearer that Groundhog Day (1993),
directed by Harold Ramis, is one of the masterpieces of 1990s
Hollywood cinema. One of the first films to use a science-fiction
premise as the basis for romantic comedy, it tells the story of a
splenetic TV weatherman, Phil Connors (Bill Murray at his
disreputable best), who finds himself repeating indefinitely one
drab day in the milk-and-cookies town of Punxsutawney,
Pennsylvania. At first glance it seems like a feel-good parable in
the tradition of Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life (1943). But on
closer inspection it is a deeply ambivalent fable, with strong
echoes of Samuel Beckett: before he finds redemption Phil must
plumb the depths of suicidal despair - and even after he has
survived this, the film offers no guarantees that he will live
happily ever after. Ryan Gilbey begins his account of Groundhog Day
with the long and unlucky gestation of the script by Danny Rubin
(who was interviewed specially for this book) which formed the
basis of the finished film. Gilbey celebrates the inspired casting
of Murray, alongside Andie MacDowell and less well-known actors
such as Stephen Tobolowsky (who plays the reptilian sa
