Not one of my "all time fav"...but the movie 'Kes' had all the lads cracked up at school.

Anyone remember the games teacher Brian something or other, ex-wrestler.

"right, we're MANCHESTER UNITED"..."I'm the slighty balding Bobby Charlton"...

The games teacher took the footie practise waaaay to seriously and had that poor scrawny bugger in goal keeper position, freezing his dough sack off!

Why is this movie called Leon in some places??

I was raving about this movie to my wife and she said it was called The Professional.

"No honey, it's called Leon and it's about this and that."

"Yeah, I've seen it. It's called The Professional."

"Sorry, it's Leon."

Then, HBO shows The Professional and I feel like an arse for two hours. Doh!!!

Bob

It is Leon....but they called it the Professional here...don't know why though.

Patrick

Maybe Leon was too hard for the americans to say?

Who knows why they change titles, uk titles first, american titles second

slap her, she's french - she gets what she wants
License Revoked - License to kill (changed in the uk just before release to make marketing easier)
Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Leon - The professional
Filofax - taking care of business
evil woman - saving silverman

I bought the Professional last week in the new 2 DVD release and its titled Leon the Professional although the single disk version I bought years ago is just called the professional - what's that all about?

babybeth

its called 'Leon The Professional' here

Bob

The new disc set worth it? And what extra do you get in the extended movie?

And there are plenty of others, a few Cornwell books and Gabaldon books had name changes too, don't know why either...

Bob

Was just called The Professional when it came out here, and on the first couple of releases...

Patrick

yes

This is all confusing.....then I remembered that in the UK there was a comedy film called "Leon the Pig Farmer" about a Jewish guy who discovers that his dad is a Yorkshire pig farmer....

(Actually that's an amazing price; 3 comedy British films on DVD for just 7.97 GBP. As an aside....has anyone seen 'Wilt' and/or 'Personal Services'? Just wondering if it's worth ordering this DVD set?).

The 51st State = Formula 51 here in the States. Excellent film! Loved Samuel L Jackson with his kilt on! *insert drooling smiley here*

Also love Monty Python's Life of Brian - my dad would insist on hiring the video out, religiously, every Christmas for years - I think we wore the tape out...

Englishmum - Personal Services with Julie Walters? Very funny!

Just the other night they had "victory" on ESPN film classics, it was "escape to victory" back in blighty.

Damn good film, Sly Stallone, Michael Caine, Pele, Bobby Moore, Ozzie, John Wark etc.

The cool thing on ESPN they had movie facts that kept popping up as the movie went along, sly had lost 40 pounds after making Rocky 2 to play "hatch" in the movie. I believe the stadium shots were filmed in Hungry that was made to look like France, Pele had an agreement with Michael Caine that if he told him how to act, he would show Caine how to play football

Bob

That was a really fun but stupid movie, kind of disappeared over here though didn't it...

Bob

Aye, I noticed that when I got the dvd for a laugh at wallyworld, $5...why not
