October 10: Sarabande for Dead Lovers (Basil Dearden, 1948)
David Thomson writes it off as "tosh" & no one has a good word to say about Dearden, but this has a charge to it (if you can get past Stewart Granger's wet fish of a romantic lead). Greenwood is a spectacle & Flora Robson never better

That chase sequence wouldn't get spun out so long now, I'm guessing.

October 4: Winchester 73 (Anthony Mann, 1950)
As previously mentioned, not fond of Westerns, but I like this one, mostly for Dan Duryea as Waco Johnny Dean:

"I already know all about Waco Johnny Dean, the fastest gun in Texas."
"Texas? Lady, why limit me?"

We didn’t want to make a nostalgic, pretending-to-be-young record, says Scots rocker

Just scratching the surface here. She loved ghost stories, TS Eliot's poetry, whisky, Satie, Klimt & churches. I think on days like this how lucky I was

2: Aladdin Sane, David Bowie.
Bowie was everything to her. She always said she queued up to be the first person in Scotland to buy the Aladdin Sane album. Not sure how you would prove that ... But print the legend

1: Tiger Feet, Mud.
We were children of glam - the high-end androgynous thrill-serkers & the brickies in eyeliner. The Tiger Feet dance was Jeanie's party piece

October 3: Rye Lane (Raine Allen-Miller, 2023)
Love this movie

Teddy Jamieson @teddyjamieson.bsky.social · 12d

September 29: Commando (Mark L Lester, 1985)
Possibly my favourite Arnie movie. For the terrible jokes, for the amazing Rae Dawn Chong, for the most incredibly homoerotic fight sequence & for the way Arnie kills the same bad guys again and again and again and ...

Rye Lane has only been on for 20 minutes in BBC2. Still time to catch up. It's joyous
