Back into the Studio very soon

Go and see Chicago.

Has MK any involvement in it?

It is good enough to avoid the need of any MK flavour inside.

West side story, then. That's the one to see.

And it has the song MK talks about in Romeo and Juliet "there's a place for us, somewhere"

That is another possibility.

Hopefully there is a life outside the MK's world.

[Love Expresso]

Of course there is. It's just that an MK fan forum is maybe not the perfect place for that by all means ..

I am not sure that Local Hero will be the best way to discover the world of musicals if you have not seen any.
I have seen the film and honestly without the music of MK I would have not given a damn on it.

[Love Expresso]

Agree. But it has its charm, especially if you have a soft spot for Scotland.

Actually, thanks to Mk doing the Local Hero score I got to know that great and charming little movie...

I wonder how much nice films exists that we don't have any idea of them just because they didn't had anything claiming our attention...

Watch the Ealing films, especially Whisky Galore;  Local Hero owes much to it.  My favourite from Ealing Studios are probably The Ladykillers and The Man in the White Suit, but there are other classics such as The Lavender Hill Mob and Kind Hearts and Coronets. 

Most British films before the 80s have that charm to them.  Britain has always punched above it's weight in filmmaking terms.

I just love The Ladykillers with  Alec Guiness and Herbert Lom and the wonderful old lady, Mrs Wilberforce!   Great viewing on a wet, Sunday afternoon!

The ladykillers... I saw one with that title directed by Cohen brothers with Tom Hanks. I guess that was an updated version?

Yes, the Tom Hanks version was a remake.  The 1955 film is a classic and didn't need updating.  It was perfect and a remake was unnecessary imo.

Yes, I meant a remake... Didn't find the correct word

I didn't bother with the remake.  I couldn't understand why the Americans would want to do something so quintessentially British, especially when it was done so brilliantly in the first place.

The Ealing films are typically about the little man triumphing over the big man despite all odds, just like Local Hero.  Whisky Galore adds the Scottish Highland location and an "outsider" into the mix.

Hollywood has run out of ideas and now they are paying the price for boycotting extremely talented and creative people just because they have different political views and agendas. As a result they have to resort to remakes and sequels nobody asked for.

I strongly disagree with this statement.
Hollywood is very smart in making things profitable. It is only that they are not interested in art.
And remakes have always existed. You have to live with your time. If you don't feel concerned by nowadays movies is only because you are not the target.
