    Can't watch this bit. Too much flashing :(

    It's hard to believe that Furie would go on to direct SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE. It's not just the worst Superman film, it's honestly one of the worst films ever made. Just embarrassing.

    I'm guessing it's a bit like our beloved Peter Hunt making Wild Geese II...I've never seen it, but it sounds rather dire.

    "Now listen to me"...The Ipcress File is the greatest spy film of all. :)

    The reveal of the London bus is a fantastic moment. I love how it pulls the rug out from under the viewer's feet.

    I prefer "Funeral In Berlin", music apart

    For those who hadn't seen it, how does this moment work for you?

    I understand why people like Funeral in Berlin, but honestly I prefer Ipcress in all departments...cast, script, photography, music. In fact I even prefer Billion Dollar Brain to Funeral in Berlin in the area of cast and music. But I do love seeing the 1960s period location work that they did in Berlin.

    I didn't care for BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN, though.

    A guilty pleasure for me.

    Hope so!

    I get a certain satisfaction from how the programming of "listen to me..." works against Dalby in the final scene and Palmer ends up shooting him as "the traitor" as a result. And to cap it off we get a reprise of Barry's 'A Man Alone' theme...lovely stuff {[]

    Glad that the upskirt filming angle is now over ;%

    I'm due a rewatch of all these films, so I'm on board! {[]

    We must watch it every week until Higgins enjoys it!

    :)) No, he's very stubborn, that won't work.

    It just flows without real highs and suspense.

    You must have watched a different film.

    I'd forgotten how interesting some of the camera angles and stagings are in this film- very unique, in contrast to the occasionally workmanlike direction of the Bond films. Overall its a nicely grounded counterpoint to 007, if a little convoluted in the plot department at times.

    "The spectre of defeat..."

    Ha! And now it's BBC Two right at the moment. Funny how you guys keep picking films right before they're screened on UK TV! :)

    Is there a TV insider in AJB :v

    And even though I'd watched it on Friday evening, I still ended up watching bits of it again!
