Robin and Marian comes from the second period in director Richard Lester’s career, when he’d turned away from the hip and happening 1960s present in order to interrogate history, literature and legend. Speaking to us in 1983, Lester said: “What I loved was the concept of taking well-known figures familiar to the audience and making them 20 years older. They are still recognisable yet are totally different from the stereotyped images, behaving in political, psychological and emotional ways which are the reverse of what you might expect. They are no longer radicals, for one thing: their political thinking has shifted 90 degrees to the right, as happens to many radicals as they grow older. Added to that was the concept of Robin Hood as a small-time robber who had been inspired by a great emotional ideal that sent him off to the Crusades. Now he's back, disillusioned, trying to relive his past – trying to live up to an old image which was probably just a myth in any case.” - [ ] Freefire — Ben Wheatley - [ ] Normal - [ ] The Colour Purple - [ ] Terminator - [ ] The Sheep Detectives - [ ] Dear England - [x] Dark City - [ ] Neil Edmund in New Zealand - [ ] Wings of Hope — Werner Herzog - [ ] Passenger (2026) - [ ] Obsession (2026) - [ ] Mortal Kombat (2026) - [ ] The Red Shoes - [ ] Don't Look Up - [ ] Before/Sunset trilogy — Richard Linklater - [x] 28 Years Later: Bone Temple - [ ] Life on Earth (Attenborough) - [ ] Pushing Tin (1999) — Billy Bob Thornton and Cusack - [ ] Lisa Kudrow high school reunion film - [ ] The Road (2009) - [ ] Filth (2013) - [ ] Gangster No.1 - [ ] Nomad - [ ] World on a Wire - [ ] Louis Theroux in West Bank - [ ] Undertone (2026) — A24 horror, Ian Tuason - [ ] Bullet in the Head (1990) - [ ] The Cars That Ate Paris (1974) - [ ] Maeve (1981) — Belfast during the Troubles, Pat Murphy and John Davies - [ ] Nuts in May - [ ] F1 - [ ] The Bride! - [ ] 8th Grade - [ ] Painting Taos Part 1 — https://vimeo.com/34793901 - [ ] The Corporation — https://youtu.be/zpQYsk-8dWg - [ ] Trauma Zone - [ ] Lady Vengeance (Park Chan-wook, 2005) - [ ] Whisper of the Heart - [ ] Chasing Ice - [ ] Steven Universe - [ ] Buy The Last Wave - [ ] Splitville - [ ] The Drama (Zendaya, Robert Pattinson) - [ ] The Conspiracists — https://youtu.be/2O_NDAaAd_U - [ ] Underland - [ ] Rabbit Trap - [ ] No Other Choice - [ ] They Will Kill You - [ ] Ground Zero - [ ] Zola - [ ] Drop - [ ] Hackers - [ ] Zootropolis 2 - [ ] H Is for Hawk - [ ] Undertones 2026 - [ ] The Stranger (2025) - [ ] Weekly Film Bulletin: Dear Diary… (Olivier Assayas top ten) - [ ] The Tao of Steve (2000) - [ ] Cocaine Bear - [ ] Gorillas in the Mist - [ ] Walkabout - [ ] Leaving Neverland - [ ] 2001 Space Odyssey - [ ] Jo in the Water - [ ] Gallipoli - [ ] Sirat - [ ] Amadeus - [ ] Rose of Nevada - [ ] Half Man - [ ] Local Hero - [ ] Broken Flowers - [ ] Behind the Candelabra - [ ] Vice (2018) - [ ] Atomic Blonde — https://youtu.be/JIqcMl0hzXs - [ ] The Amazing Mr. Blunden (1972) - [ ] Landman (Paramount) - [ ] He-Man (released June 5th) - [ ] Dead Man's Shoes - [ ] Hokum - [ ] Saipan and Legend (Steve Coogan) - [ ] Marie Antoinette - [ ] Fortitude - [ ] Margrete: Queen of the North - [ ] Top 25 Films of Bette Davis - [ ] Truly Madly Deeply - [ ] New Superman film - [ ] Infinity Pool - [ ] THX 1138 (1971) - [ ] The Beach House (2020) - [ ] Session 9 (2001) - [ ] Emily (2022) - [ ] Artists Must Live (1953) - [ ] Men (2022) - [ ] Taxi Tehran - [ ] Phenomena - [ ] Border (2018 Swedish) - [ ] Traffik - [ ] The King (2019) - [ ] Il Buco - [ ] Earwig - [ ] This Is England - [ ] Another World (2021) - [ ] Time to Love (1965) - [ ] The White Reindeer - [ ] Drowning by Numbers (Peter Greenaway, 1988) - [ ] Breaking the Waves - [ ] The Danish Girl - [ ] You Will Die at Twenty - [ ] Galaxy of Terror — Shudder - [ ] Cold Lazarus — All 4 - [ ] Bad Guy (2001) - [ ] Are You Afraid of the Dark — Season 1 - [x] Spider-Noir — Season 1 - [ ] BBC Two — Monty Don's Rhineland Gardens - [ ] Io Capitano - [ ] Radical Neighbouring — The Farm Where Nothing is for Sale — https://youtu.be/dynQV-oKM0E - [ ] Everybody to Kenmure Street — Southsea Cinema - [ ] White Chicks — Southsea Cinema - [ ] A Private Life - [ ] Habit (1995) ### Watched - Wolf Hall ### Favourites - Io Capitano ## 📺 TV - [ ] BBC One — Panorama: The Truth About Forever Chemicals — https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n2hr - [ ] Adam Curtis - [ ] https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35587659/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk The Five-Star Weekend ### Podcasts - [ ] Downstream: The Dark Truth About Starmer's Rise — https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/downstream-the-dark-truth-about-starmers-rise-to/id1001507547?i=1000736272344 ## 🎭 Sight & Sound Highlights - [ ] **The Pathetic Fallacy (1958)** — Ritwik Ghatak, restored classic on BFI Player - [ ] **Cactus Pears** — Marathi drama, Sundance 2025 winner, queer experience in rural India - [ ] **It Should Happen to You (1954)** — George Cukor, Judy Holliday, Jack Lemmon - [ ] **Titane (2021)** — Julia Ducournau, Palme d'Or winner, body horror on Mubi - [ ] **Dry Leaf** — Georgian road movie, 144p phone camera, ICA screening - [ ] **A Bigger Splash (1973)** — David Hockney biopic, Jack Hazan ## Software & Tools - [ ] Jellyfin networking — https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/networking/ - [ ] Loopback — cable-free audio routing for Mac — https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/ - [ ] BlackHole — https://github.com/ExistentialAudio/BlackHole --- I'd be happy to add some authentic country and western recommendations to your collection!

Or add any documentary content about these musicians?
