Let's not forget the quirky stuff that Channel4 used to put on like the Peter Greenaway films.

The one I remember was The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. (Early Helen Mirren movie ya know).

TESB - quintessential fim, if ever there was!

I think it's safe to say, the 80's was THE decade for films. Feeling quite nostalgic, right now...
