"During the 1960s I spent my time going to Hollywood movies, following the spirit of the Cahiers du cinéma. Written on the Wind is an explosion of cinematic style and of melodramatic excess. It stands for my love of Sirk but also for the extraordinary genius of all those 1950s directors whose careers came to an end before their time. And Sirk also leads forward to the great R. W. Fassbinder, especially to Ali: Fear Eats the Soul."

Never give up, never surrender!
The best not Star Trek Star Trek film, where the washed up stars of an old TV show (the Galaxy Quest of the title) - think 1960s Star Trek - are mistaken for the real thing by actual aliens, and brought aboard their space ship (modelled after that from the TV show), in order to negotiate a ceasefire against their foe.

Worth watching for Alan Rickman's Dr Lazarus alone, never mind Sigourney Weaver or Tim Allen...
