Thanks my dear, and remember - there's nowt wrong with a bit of the old
literary convention nonsense from time to time. And if I don't speak about myself in the third person, who the heck else would do it for me?
TheUsualSuspect - Your sense of relief is only bettered by my own, I can assure you.
nebbs - I hope I haven't bigged up
Sonatine too much that it will be an anti-climax.
PT - You know me better than I actually do.
Stu - Thanks mate. The last five or six were especially hard to place in order but I didn't want to cop out and rush things. I've just deleted the Word document where I started the list, and it was dated 2nd March. Phew.
adi - I'm sure the love of Westerns comes from my older cousins taking me to Saturday morning matinee shows when I was a kid and all they used to show were ancient Horse Operas. I can imagine that getting an adequate subtitled translation for a film like
Sonatine must be a massive pain in the arse. I'm quite lucky that Japanese films, for example, come with English subs - even quite a few bought direct from Japan, such as Kitano's last film,
Takeshis', which I bought a while back. I hadn't a bloody clue what the text on the DVD menu said though.
