The Mysterious Cities of Gold (1982–1983)

Unqestionably the greatest cartoon ever!

[9/10 · 6 November 2007]

A majestic cartoon series, this series encapsulates the beautiful mystery of many of the 1980's cartoons. Any cartoon that makes you feel emotion for the characters is very special indeed. Those who produced this shoe deserve a belated Oscar, i cant wait get the DVD , my own kids will love this show , they will soon see how brain-dead the majority of todays cartoons really are. I hope this gets the promo it deserves when it comes out , i hope the producers make millions - the success is deserved. I cant wait to bring back all of those wonderful memories , i intend to take a week off work to watch this - God bless all MCOG Fans!

This Is Your Life: Sir Nicholas Winton (2003) Season 43, Episode 14

Sir Nicholas - the British Oskar Schindler ?

[15 February 2006]

Sir Nicholas Winton is still alive to this day and his story has never really got the international attention it deserves. He kept many of his stories secret until well after his 90th birthday, it is believed that he saved many Jewish children from the Nazi ovens during the holocaust. This was probably one of the most memorable editions of 'this is your life', with tear-jearking and emotional reunions with the children, who are now in their 60's , and it also believed that there are somewhat 5,000 descendants of those he saved. It was so poignant and what was even more moving was how the children saw Sir Nick as their 'Father' their families all saw him as 'their Grandad' , a truly inspirational story !

Run (1991)

its one of those films..

[10/10 · 7 September 2004]

its one of those films that you discover when you cant sleep and then switch on the telly at 3am , its really quite gripping , i love the two crooked cops who try to make a few bob out of it then end up crashing off the top of the car park , Dempsey once again excels at playing the clueless geek and ken Pogue is the ultimate bad guy . The slightly eerie small town Connecticut atmosphere is created really well in this , i wouldn't say its a Hitchcock although i would defo buy the DVD if it came out , some films just get a little cult following and this is one ! I'm with all those who like this one !
