Dead Man's Shoes is worth a watch - a Shane Meadows film.

Was that a DVD? I haven't heard '...The Professional' added to 'Leon' before. One of those 'Director's Special Edition' jobbies?

Either way, a brilliant film and as we all know it was the peak of Portman's career........... I don't think she has ever lived up to that early promise. Jean Reno is always superb of course.

Anyways, I agree, a must see.

Re: good movies

You come home from one of the worst days of your career - surrounded by idiots, and seeing a deeply respected and experienced colleague fired for no apparent reason - needing to switch off completely..........

........... and - there is a God - Dog Day Afternoon is on OSN Movies Festival. Tomorrow can wait............
