Fidel - you're getting your names all mixed up. Too much celebrating the 4th? Ga9497 asked for movies that included many scenes of London. I posted those. I do not understand your sarcastic reply.

Anne of the Thousand Days. A Man for All Seasons. Elizabeth. Any of the Sherlock Holmes films (and the fine TV series with Jeremy Brett). There are dozens and dozens.

Don't want to turn this into a fight, but the "London" in Bridget Jones and Notting Hill (and, I suspect, similar movies) is not exactly realistic.

Fidel Jul 5th, 2006 07:17 AM

Couldn't agree more Patrick -- there are so many many great British films and actors, to hold Hollywood's version of "London" in equal or high esteem is the equivalent of touting McDonald's on a Paris food thread. And I'm not a film buff or anything, but I see British movies as a way to know the place a little, otherwise sterling opportunities lost.

didn't see the Bourne films mentioned. I think it is the most recent that has a great scene in Waterloo (not sure if it was shot onsite, but it looked like what I recall of Waterloo). Also, in the first Bourne (I think) there is a scene that I believe was in the liverpool street station, but someone can correct me.

Just watched <u>Bourne Ultimatum</u> on TV - great scenes of Waterloo station.

Watched <u>Love Actually</u> the other day. It's been mentioned earlier in this thread, but just listing it again. Like this movie a lot, and some lovely scenes from South Bank (towards East at St Paul's Cathedral) and Millennium Bridge.

<b>Last Chance Harvey</b> has some scenes of the South Bank (they kept walking back and forth along the Thames), but otherwise very boring movie.

Let him Have It...lots of scenes of some areas of London looked like in the 1950's....

It is the true story of the barbaric hanging of Dereck Bentley for a crime he did not commit.

Help! / A Hard Day's Night
Gosford Park, which I'm watching right now, had some shots filmed at Syon House near the Thames.
Hook--at least the Peter Pan statue
The Great Train Robbery
Rumpole of the Bailey (PBS series)
Oliver!
My Fair Lady
Bleak House
Nicholas Nickleby
Great Expectations
and I'm sure other movies/TV miniseries based on Dickens novels
Shakespeare in Love

&quot;It is the true story of the barbaric hanging of Dereck Bentley for a crime he did not commit.&quot;

It's the highly slanted story or the strasightforward hanging of Derek Bentley for a murder he was present at and encouraged the perpetrator to commit. Which at the time was a capital offence

Amazing though it might seem, the innocent sod who was actually murdered at Berntley's instigation has never been the subject of one of these &quot;ah poor victim&quot; travesties.

Only murderers - or their accomplices - get turned into heroes.

flanneruk...

Who shot PC Miles?

Let him have it, Chris was Bentley's plea to the real perp to hand over the gun?

Bentley was 19 years old with a mentality of an 11 year old....even in the barbaric USA we're not allowed to execute the mentally retarded.
