A bit last minute with this, but if you are free and in London this Thursday, you can check out The Flipside presents The Sorcerers.

Designing 007: 50 Years of Bond Style at the Barbican
If you love James Bond, you’ll want to get yourself to London’s Barbican this summer for Designing 007: 50 Years of Bond Style.
More (1969)
I first saw this as a late night channel 4 screening many years back. Fasty forward and More is now out on Blu-ray. Does this Pink Floyd-soundtrack movie still cut the mustard?
Extras wanted for King of Soho
Fancy some paid work on an upcoming movie? The King of Soho, a movie about Paul Raymond, is looking for extras with the look of a bygone era.
Peter Cook season at the BFI
Not sure it’s been advertised all that much, but starting in March is a Peter Cook season at the BFI, featuring a couple of cracking movies.
To Sir With Love (1967)
Think sixties and it’s hard to avoid the word ‘swinging’ in the same sentence. British cinema audiences of the era didn’t want misery on the big screen when they left their miserable jobs – they wanted glamour, colour and above all, entertainment.
Modesty Blaise (1966)
Yeah…..I know….plenty of these around back in the day…and in retrospect it’s sometimes hard to separate spoof from serious when it comes to 60’s espionage flicks….far easier to sort out the good from the bad, the wheat from the chaff.
Georgy Girl (1966)
A ‘homely’ girl is desperate to live the glam life of her ‘swinging London’ roommate.
