Walked out of 'Cyrano' yesterday after 45 mins, seems I was snoring so much. Held my attention until they started to sing.....awful!!! My wife woke me as she wanted to leave.

I seem to recall walking out of a showing of The Wild Bunch at a university film night. I have never watched it since and don't know what I'd make of it now. You don't say when you were at uni Pete, but I'm guessing it was a fair few years ago. Neither do you say why you walked out. But, although very gritty and violent with lots of lingering, slow mo bloodshed, Peckinpah made this a film that has generated many plaudits. I didn't enjoy it first time round, but have since come to appreciate the style and the story he wanted to convey. Might be worth another try Pete.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

One of the best films ever basically.

I can't remember why I left, but if the opportunity arises I will give it another go.

Was that where everyone gets horribly killed whilst having afternoon tea or something like that? Blood spurting everywhere in a sporting jacket? William Holden was brilliant in the Wild Bunch. Better than Stalag 17, I felt. Don't know if he won anything for the Wild Bunch.
