Car Trouble. 1986

 

Starring: Julie Walters

A woman having an affair with a car salesman finds herself sexually locked to him in her husband's new vehicle.

\not really believable, all a little silly, the scene with Julie Walters and the guy trapped in a compromising position went on way too long. Interesting seeing what was considered classy car at the time.    5/10

Girl Stroke Boy 1971

 

Starring: Joan Greenwood

A we--to-do couple try to find out whether their son's house guest is male or female.

Well, this hasn't aged well. Only 50 years old, this movie focusses on whether their sons' partner is male or female. Michael Hordern, such a superb actor and I just felt awkward watching the whole thing. Historically interesting I guess as a stepping stone before times changed....     3/10

Jules et Jim. 1962

 

Starring: Oskar Werner

Before World War 1, in Paris, a girl alternates between a French and a German student, and after the war they meet again to form a constantly shifting triangle.

Every now and then, I bump into a foreign language movie that is an absolute delight. That is exactly what happened here, the subtitles became almost irrelevant as I was so into the story. We all know of a member of the opposite sex that has had a mysterious hold over people, that is what happens here. Fascinating to watch, for me hasn't dated at all with some stunning locations. So glad I got to see this.   8/10

Submarine X-1 1967

 

Starring: James Caan

A submarine commander in World War 11 trains men to attack the Lindenorf in midget submarines.

I'm not a great fan of James Caan but he was watchable in this. A decent thriller which considering it is over 50 years old, still looks fairly modern.      6/10
