Default OT: 1984 like film. - 01-21-2005, 04:59 AM

Ok, I've seen 1984 the film, this morning in fact..

There was another film like it I saw once[1], but I can't remember the
name. Anyone know of such a film?

[1]In colour.

You remembered :-)

I also need to find out if the ukrm underground railway runs from Leeds to
MK for a pair of TVR seats. S'pose I need to post a new topic for that.

Can I contribute to any transport costs for the books?

Well, if you'd asked last week the underground railway could have done
the optimal route of Leeds to Milton Keynes via Northumberland, but I
don't think we've got anything going in that direction for a while.

It's one of my favourites. It would appear that I'm not alone as it's in
the imdb top 250 films at #192.

Nah, I'm going to use it as an excuse to get round to seeing JJ, then
he can pass them to Entwisi, then he can get them to you. You're not
in any rush are you?
