Hello my friends and neighbours.
I joined these boards a while back but a combination of laziness, forgetfulness and Eliot Ness saw me shamefully drift away. Every week I listen to FS and scold myself that I must spend a bit of time in this place, so here is my attempt to do the right thing.
I'm 26, I live in Dundee, Scotland, with my wife and six month old son and work currently as a sub-editor for the local evening newspaper here. I used to be an occasional film critic for the paper, but it's been difficult to fit that in recently what with parenthood and all that that crazy state entails.
That's the boring stuff out of the way so I shall depart with what I'd consider my Desert Island Movies - Mulholland Drive, His Girl Friday, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Morvern Callar, Ninotchka, Red River, Paris Texas, Vertigo, Videodrome, Uzak, The Passenger, Hiroshima Mon Amour, Lilya 4-ever, The Blood of a Poet, If......, Escape From New York, Lovers of the Arctic Circle, Black Narcissus, McCabe and Mrs Miller, Marie Antoinette, Pickpocket, Tokyo Story etc etc etc
