I love it in action films where you have a SWAT team or something sneaking up and theyā€™re all completely silent and communicating with those weird hand signals.

Tagline : You STILL canā€™t handle the truth.

Used to love the generic ā€œA Taste of Indiaā€ curry restaurant ad

The same advert would get used all over the country (shots of the Taj Mahal, Indian women dancing etc) then a cut to a static card with a picture of the chintzy interior of a local restaurant and a voice (different to the voice you have heard up until that point) telling you to go the Ramadamā€™s in Swindon after the performance

A Few Good Men, the sequel: You canā€™t handle the Twoth.

When the film cuts to a shot of the HoP and Big Ben and ā€˜London, Englandā€™ appears on the screen. For a second there I thought we were in Ontario.

I was watching Stalker and I enjoyed when theyā€™d say the words ā€œprofessorā€ and ā€œstalkerā€ amidst the Russian words

the bit at the start of Alien 3 where the 20th Century Fox logo ends in this piercing, unsettling drone. that was genius.

Yeah, I do. My Dad would always say ā€œThose curtains are a bit thin!ā€ when you could see the film through them.

Always accompanied by a blast of Rule Britannia.

Love a good search on a fake internet search engine

Mate ā€¦ all the good people did get shipped off to the Moon two years ago. Itā€™s fucking mint up here.

Yeah sometimes they get it right but just the wrong location. Blade Runner depicts LA in 2019 as a rain-sodden, polluted, anxious, miserable nightmare but it could as well be Manchester in 2009.

Reminds me of the time I heard an American bloke shout, ā€˜Iā€™m in Leedsā€¦ England!ā€™ down the phone like he was in the Bourne Identity

Uh huh.

I like it when thereā€™s a picture of one of the characters when they were younger, and the actor has had to go round their mumā€™s to find an old picture to bring in, so you get to see what a dweeb-o they were when they were young.

I enjoy a Wilhelm scream as well, I felt like Iā€™d sussed out everything there was to know about the world when I noticed it was the same effect everywhere at the age of about 10. I will admit that finding out the name sort of ruined it a bit though.

Insignifcant things I donā€™t like in films; fucking ā€œsecret bitā€ at the end of the credits.

Definitely rare to find a fan of porno opening credits I reckon.
