WHY WE LOVE STAR WARS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello there! What is it about Star Wars that makes people keep coming back to it decades later? For some people, it's as simple as Luke Skywalker being a childhood hero. For others, it's the music, the spaceships, the worlds, the battles or simply the memories of discovering those films as a kid. And then there are the things that are much harder to explain. In this special episode of Rewind Classic Movies, GB is joined by Jody Martin and Rick Martin from the Now That's What I Call DAMN Good Mus
THE 10 WORST MOVIE REMAKES EVER MADE (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Fast Forward, GB and AJ tackle one of cinema's most dangerous subjects: movie remakes. Following on from our recent discussion about Clash of the Titans , we're looking at ten examples of remakes, reboots and reimaginings that, for one reason or another, failed to live up to what came before. But there's an important distinction to make. Calling something one of the worst movie remakes doesn't necessarily mean we think it's an objectively terrible film. A remake can be perfect
CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981): Shakespeare with Monsters But No Titans?! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, GB and AJ head back to 1981 for Clash of the Titans , the final feature film from legendary stop-motion pioneer Ray Harryhausen. With Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Burgess Meredith and Ursula Andress (sort of) delivering grand, Shakespearean dialogue about gods, destiny, honour and death, while giant scorpions, Medusa, a mechanical owl and a bloody great sea monster wander around in the background, this is a fantasy film unlike anything else. AJ watches Clash of the Titans for the f
THE BIGGEST MOVIES OF 1991 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1991 was one hell of a year for movies. In this episode of Fast Forward, GB and AJ count down its ten highest-grossing films - from huge blockbusters and Disney favourites to comedies, thrillers and some films that might surprise you by making the list. But this isn't just a box-office countdown. Along the way, we get into childhood memories of discovering spoof movies, debate whether one of the year's most celebrated films is actually overrated, revisit some very memorable performances, and unc
HOOK (1991): Mermaid 3-way, Michael Jackson's musical and a gay Captain? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re heading back to Neverland for Steven Spielberg’s Hook (1991) - a film we both loved as kids, but which hits very differently when you watch it as an adult. Dustin Hoffman gives us one of the great pantomime villains as Captain Hook. But beneath the flying, pirates and imaginary food fights, Hook is surprisingly packed with darker ideas about growing up, parenthood, work, ageing and losing touch with your imagination. And then there’s the weird stuff. We uncover the Michael Jackson Hook mus
