Erm, no.

Well actually I take that back, I've watched Clueless more times than Stand By Me, it's actually a great film, famously loosely based on Emma by Jane Austen. It actually got my eldest to read that book, so fuck it yeah, Clueless is a better film.

Great reply 👍  my daughter loves the film, didn't know about the book.

I googled clueless thinking it would be an old film about growing up and not the spoilt brat film. 
 

Nope.

TO THE DOGS

You have quite a narrow popular choice blind spot.

Emma, the novel, is about a 'Spoilt brat' but one who does grow up. Its a fantastic book.

Mind you, you do seem to put stuff like Terminator 2 into a.thread about classic films.

Iconic, possibly, classic it is not.

Listen you have a cat and have questionable dress sense and music taste suffice to say we are quite different

I'd say it's a classic action film myself 

Not many better before or since

The Third Man was on t'other day.

I knew I should watch it really but...

I think I put Salvage Hunters on instead.

 

 

Stumbled across it with a bad head early yesterday morning, hadn't watched it but now I have.

Decent film, very nice to look at.

All Brontë novels are over rated cat piss.

The only reason they still get any attention is so people who got a 2:1 degree at Milton Keynes polytechnic can attempt to make themselves look literary and half-educated.

Andy McNab is where it’s at.

Take that back - Wuthering Heights (along with Catch 22) is my favourite book of all time.

Fucking brilliant, must have read it a dozen times - even wooed my Mrs with it by reading it to her whilst we were courting...

The old romantic that I am.

That's funny.

Doesn't make Wurhering Heights shit though.

In the same way Cliff Richard playing Heathcliff didn't.

I’ll throw all period dramas in with musicals and file them under wank and never to be watched
