    Fern collective movie knowledge request:

    I need some clips from crappy sci-fi movies where injection of a virus, "nanoprobes" etc transforms/saves a person in seconds. Think the borg injecting nanoprobes in Star Trek.

    This would be the kind of question I'd bring to the Fern expecting you to be able to answer. šŸ˜‰

    What's that movie where ScaJo eats those pills and uses "100% of her brain" and ascends?

    Surely there is some shit from there

    The long Good Friday. Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan as you have never seen them!

    Great, great picture. Cracking score by Francis Monkman as well. Check out Mona Lisa (1986) if you haven't already - another Bob Hoskins classic.

    This was HIS film, he owned it, acted well in a taut well written but low key film

    Important film. UK-produced film was in the doldrums when this came out and it's success was a big factor in getting investment coming into the industry.

    Bob Hoskins’ finest hour

    Bold call

    You made me think twice, so I went through his filmography and he has done some good stuff, but on balance I stand by my comment. This was HIS film, he owned it, acted well in a taut well written but low key film.

    Will have to revisit

    My top three that I can remember

    Pennies From Heaven
    Who Killed Roger Rabbit?
    Twenty Four Seven

    You missed out Mona Lisa...

    Very good and Bill Nighy dependably great. Thought that they diminished a little in interest as they went on, but from a high starting point. Would re-watch.

    Thanks. Completely missed this. With David Hare doing the writing and Judy Davis in the cast list, now on my watch list

    @taniwharugby I didn't mind that they put absolutely no effort into explaining why.

    Likewise - found it very cosy. Made me want to watch old time late night specials.
