Worse programme is Celebrity Big Brother i have to leave the room when my missus watches it as it winds me up , a bunch of z listers acting like 5 year olds for weeks on end !!
True Detective for me - one of the best things i've seen. I agree that the characters are flawed, and they should not be likeable, but you end up interested in the characterisation because of the flaws - also the scenery, the post Katrina southern Gothic thingy (?) going on. (Plus Woody Harrelsons' very attractive girlfriend in episode 1). Then 'The Wire' - again , Flawed character in McNulty, and the incredible Bunk, shooting a mouse with his service revolver whilst drunk ;lol
Luke and Mrs Grey - afraid I may have to banish you both to the back of the sofa, Dad's Army was, and is, simply hilarious, the charactorisations and timing are brilliant.
Also wish to vote for anything that had Ronnie Barker in it,
I am a bit strange and often go for acting performances rather than whether the film/series is good.
I loved Lilli Taylor's performance of Rose in Dogfight (even though the film wasn't that brilliant.
I enjoy just about anything with James Stewart
One of my favourite all time acting performances was a brilliant portrayal by Bob Hoskins of C S Lewis in the original BBC Production of Shadowlands. Hoskins was magnificent and Anthony Hopkins portrayal has always been second best for me. Typical BBC that I cannot get this on DVD
Another great performance for me was Janet Mcteer as Prue Sarn in the BBC production of Janet Webb's Precious Bane. Mcteer was simply wonderful in a great BBC film. Why this has never been released on DVD is a mystery to me. I love the book as well!
Other favourites of mine:
Malcolm in the Middle, Bagpuss (I have the DVD) and Mad Men.
Mrs Grey Remains of the day. Great film, my wife and I loved it. So sad for old romantics like me who want a happy ending instead of unnecessary loneliness. Poor Emma Thompson!!!
billy...After watching Remains of the Day I need to watch Bagpuss to restore the 'Feel Good Feeling'
Moulin Rouge is a very divisive film. I love it - very clever, very funny, very sad, very dark. Also the only film I've seen at the cinema that drew an audible collective gasp from the audience ("because she doesn't love you!", for those that know the film).
The only film I've seen at the cinema that drew a collective response was Johnny English, after destroying the police camera which caught him speeding.
