I just re-discovered Home Alone 1 & 2 and watched the two “action sequences” about ten times during the holidays.
Besides the boobytraps (and the great music!), I especially love Joe Pesci's (“Harry”) NY accent & attitude and his mostly incomprehensible mutterings (“grumblegrumbleriphisheadoffgrumblegrumble”), and Daniel Stern's (“Marv”) constant moaning and his exquisite screaming – and of course the sense of wonder that Macauly Culkin conveys (“Whoaw!”). Too bad there wasn't a third part featuring that unforgettable trio. |

Casablanca
The Maltese Falcon (the John Huston version) Midnight Cowboy Ratatouille Reach for the Sky The Dambusters North by Northwest Dr. Strangelove Duck Soup I'm Alright, Jack Walkabout (but only because of Jenny Agguter) Don't Look Now Dial M for Murder Rear Window To Catch a Thief The 39 Steps (Hitchcock) Toy Story 1, 2 & 3 Kind Hearts & Coronets Passport to Pimlico The Lavender Hill Mob The Ladykillers The Man in the White Suit The Girl Can't Help It West Side Story My Fair Lady Manhattan Some Like it Hot Annie Hall Educating Rita The Apartment Double Indemnity Shirley Valentine (as it is my wife's favourite film) There must be others, but they are not coming to mind at the moment. Some TV series we have watched repeatedly: BBC: Pride & Prejudice (6 part TV series in the UK, not the film) BBC: House of Cards (i.e. the original series in the UK) BBC: A very Peculiar Practice The top two were adapted by Andrew Davies, the third is a brilliant original series by him. His improvements on the original book of House of cards are astonishing - the book is sort of ok-ish, but Davies adds in loads of extra things, completely changes the ending and turns it into a masterpiece. The phrase, "I couldn't possibly comment", for example, doesn't appear in the book, nor does Hattie going to bed with the Chief Whip! Spent Boxing Day re-watching Dennis Potter's wonderful 'the Singing Detective', which is probably borderline for multiple views.

Three hundred thousand Australian dollars of a scant budget and yet they created a superb
Comedy horror
Involves very petty criminal Kylie (Morgana O'Reilly) sentenced to be ankle bracelet placed under the house arrest custody of her estranged mother (Rima Te Wiata) for eight months. Only the house might or might not be haunted by something deeply sinister. If you've not seen it already I heartily recommend it
