One more...
Peter Watkins' 'War Game' from 1965. He's the same guy that did 'Punishment Park'.
It's a pastiche of a PIF (Public Information FIlm) about what would happen in the event of multiple nuclear strikes on the British Isles. It's awesomely bleak and on a par (albeit in a very different way) with 'Threads'.
One of the best examples of a world gone to shit ever and again the entire film in 5 parts...
-
Another one just to get the ball rolling...
'A Killer in the Family' was a TV movie from 1983. Basically it centers around a guy who tells his three sons he was falsely imprisoned, is being bullied on the inside and needs to escape. They break him out and it turns out he was lying about that and a lot of other things...
Stars Robert Mitchum, Eric Stoltz and James Spader, never released on video or DVD, below is the entire film in parts...
-
Not a film but a truly awe inspiring piece of live television.
Most shockingly, nobody died.
FYI: The guy with the UZI is called Robert Wanko...
-
Couldn't find an esoteric film thread so thought it made sense to create one.
As and when I find links to trailers or complete films (it happens) I will post them here. Please feel free to do the same.
Basically it's going to be 'lost' TV movies, true 'cult' classics, exploitation, unusual documentaries or clips... anything I come across that looks interesting enough to share.
What it won't be anything to do with is anything to do with mainstream 'supermarket cult films' like 'Scarface', 'Pulp Fiction', 'The Big Lebowski' etc. They have their place, but then so do CREATE bikes.
So, first off the block...
Finally found a link to the lost Richard Harris film '99 and 44/100% Dead' from 1974. It's a kind of Pop Art Gangster film, well worth a butchers.

2nd dibs on the nittos cheers.
-
so 'provisional dibs' actually here, pending PM questions, cheers...
-
I think i was at that SLEEP gig. It was pretty epic but I do wish Matt Pike would wear a shirt it's way too MANOWAR.
-
drop a brooks saddle and some leather bar tape on that and you have compact bicycle pornography.
-
Agreed, but you can just take them off right?
Is the rear hub flip/flop or single fixed?
-
Yeah,
I let my Surly go when I found out it was a Commie bike. It was either that or get all McCarthy on it and lock it up for twenty years.
-
Update and a couple of price-drops, and an IPhone.
Couple of outstanding 'dibs' on things which I will let stand unless I hear otherwise.
Cheers and apologies again if the Snapfish greeting page says 'Hi C*nt'. Not my doing.
-
dude,
my advice is shrink it somehow... giant microwave maybe? then let Vinlyvillain bite your hand off. alternative is to work on stretching him, i have seen various attempts at this with mixed results.
awesome bike.
-
PM'd. massively interested if it's still available and you are london based.
-
@whosd@t - i have a mate trying it out for size tomorrow. if he doesn't take it, Ill message you.
@clockwork killa - not heard back from tenderloin, am out most of next week so if he doesn't get back by then, it's yours.
!nhattattack! - the pony is 148cm hoof to saddle
-

VAGX held for Buckaroo.
-
hi.
I'm 6ft dead on.
-
The seat post is 27.
apologies for the greeting on the photo-page. can't seem to change it back. was always going to happen.
-
RE: VagX
It fits left hip to right shoulder. Cheers.
-
@tenderloin: The kazuki top is a medium but I'm a large and it fits okay. The penfield is only a single strap so it can swing around if you don't wear it tight. Nice bag though.
@kattiep: All the adi jackets are size 50 which is a medium (but generous)
-
VAGX Bag is 52 x 36 x 10cm approx. Labels don't mention size unfortunately...
See above post for picture link and let us know.
Cheers.

Charge Plug Large (56).
Bought this off Ebay a few months back as a spare and aside of cycling it back from South London never used it. In very good nick with the exception of some frame rub on rear (pictured), ready to go, complete bike. - 230
TACX Satori Indoor Trainer
Ideal for keeping in shape now that Summer seems to have 'done one'. Bought in Germany, very light use over last winter. Used for the duration of 30 Rock series 1 to 3 and the first half of some Polish film about a woman who appeared to have lost her dog. Complete. - 70
**ITM Drop Bars (46) ** Some shelf wear but never built up - 10
White Satori seat post (27.2) Mounted but never ridden. No scratches above the line - 10
Pair of Continental Speed King Tyres Couple of days use max - SOLD
Proteam (Awesome I know) Folding bike for spares or repair - FREE ** GONE** (Horse on order)
Apparel and accesories:
VAG X Courier bag. Bought this of a forum member last week but it's not quite big enough for my intended purpose. Retail at TFG is 90, I Paid 60, still unused with tags (approx sizing 52 x 36 x 10cm) - SOLD
Penfield/Slam City Skates Courier bag - Used but still in good nick with the exception of one of the studs that hold the straps down, one of which has come off. Belt hook closure still holds flap down. - 10
I bought these at a sample sale so all prices reflect that, all unworn:
adidas Originals Kazuki Cycling top (red/white/blue) - 15
adidas Originals maroon jacket - 15 SOLD
adidas Originals blue and black print jacket - 10
adidas Originals Japan cycling shorts (black) - 10I also have a **Black 8GB 3G IPHONE **- Still with box, less than 2 years old. Couple of tiny scratches you can only see in the right light but really nothing major. Rear has rubbing. Screen is in great condition. Now, not sure if this is a drawback or not but it was on a German T-Mobil(e) contract so it may or may not need some kind of 'crack job' doing on it. If anybody knows any more about this It would be much appreciated. Anyway, starting at 140.
Everything is collection only from Camden or N.London. Sorry no posting until the Royal Mail admits that it is not Sainsbury's Cheese Counter.
I will happily drop a donation in the forum's off-shore account as soon as I am free of this stuff.
Any questions, let me know.
Cheers.

Wow. Unusual choice of music ( a live Turtles track) but the tempo of it definitely works. Will have to try and dig that film out. Really like the last couple of lines of dialogue.
