Then add Waterworld for a wetter version.
Thats about as desireable and exciting as wetting the bed.

Mad Max...a good fantasy romp.
The last one 'Beyond Thunderdome'? IIRC the first one is a bit gory and grungy, and I wouldn't want to show it to youngish kids, whereas the 3rd was more glossy and family friendly. Do we know how old they are?
EDIT: MM is 18, MM3 is 15

the kids vary in age from 12 to 18 mostly 15. foreign exchange students so lots of speaking and sex/nudity/bad language is off the menu. more car crashes and explosions.

Not taking any kind of stance here you understand, just musing really. Strange world it seems sometimes when we reject people taking their clothes off or swearing as being too offensive for minors but scenes portraying violent death are seen as harmless fun. I'm sure a sociologist could explain it. Anyway, I'm off topic so I'll shut up now....
Gone in 60 seconds ( the original ) amused me I seem to recall........

Quite right HB.
Apparently the average US nipper witnesses several hundred graphic scenes of murder a year... or is it a month?

" trafic" by jaques tati, very visual and limited dialogue, very easy to watch and funny too , its in black and white so may get nose turned up at but like i say very funny
|
Agree re "Traffic" but it is in colour (although at times quite pale)
Groovy shots from Holland mainly, in 1971 based around the Amsterdam motor show and lots of on-road scenes that year. Fantastic "crash" scene (funny), and classic clip near the end of the film where Hulot walks up to a DAF 55 on the motor show stand, steps into it like any other punter, slams the door and... you'll have to get the video!
No dialogue at all, to speak of, so very suitable.

thanks recardoB, your right it is in colour , i was thinking of an earlier post i wrote and it was deffo in b/w also...good stuff ..i think the films jaque tati did epitomise the french car industry

Good Bye Pork Pie - from New Zealand, they sell bits of the car as they travel (a beetle), to fund a road trip.

The theme of Trafic, I suddenly remember, is an automobile show and the public relations and advertising around it. So it's definitely a motoring film. Quirky, but excellent. And it is in colour like all Tati's films since M. Hulot's Holiday (which features a frightful French 1920s cyclecar, and is itself a masterpiece of comedy film making).
