Just watching pulp fiction, restaurant scene. Cigarette zips from hand to hand and then disappears when Vincent rolls one.

I love Pulp Fiction. Can’t rewatch films though, I can generally remember them word for word even years later and instantly lose my suspension of disbelief in the first few minutes and then start seeing it as a production rather than being engrossed in the story. You can never step in the same river twice.

First time I saw pulp fiction I had to have Vincent’s Malibu. The very next day I tracked one down.

All of the special effects in Battle of Britain.

My pal and I were very nearly extras in `Battle of Britain` 

We went to Hawkinge airfield where some of it was being filmed (1969 I think) and told to return the next day with our hair cut short back and sides and we would receive £2 per day. It was trendy in those days to have long hair so we decided against it.

Remember watching a scene where a `cardboard` plane was on fire and the lovely Susanna York was walking away from it. I will remember her lovely blue eyes always. Also remember seeing who I now know as Ian McShane (Lovejoy) as he was the shortest among all the other actors. There were many other well known actors there but I didn`t know who they were at the time, or particularly cared !

When watching the film, there was a shot of airmen entering The Jackdaw pub at Denton (near Folkestone) and in clear view was a very modern doorbell at the side of the door.

In contrast, we were on holiday on Kefalonia whilst they were making Captain Corelli`s Mandolin and the effects were fantastic. I got talking to a couple guys who were painting some boarding around a building (it was surrounding a small hotel) and in the film was the town hall. Also a row of army lorries painted on shuttering board. They looked absolutely realistic in the film. These scenery effects have clearly come a long way since the earlier films.

My dad was a fireman on the RAF groundcrew for the Lancs when they filmed Dambusters.

Edit to clarify he was actual ground crew, not an actor portraying them.

I live not far from where Barnes Wallis tested his bouncing bomb off Reculver (North Kent coast). The military took over a nearby house and mill from a pal of my Dad’s to house BW for the duration. A few years ago I remember seeing one of the trial bombs (a large canister filled with concrete)out in the mud on a very low spring tide. It was recovered and is now in a local museum.
