Telstar: The Joe Meek Story

It's a cracking film that, too, from what I remember.

 Michael Winner's last ever film was called Parting Shots and had a pretty oddball cast:

Chris Rea
Oliver Reed (also his last ever completed film)
Felicity Kendall
Peter Davison
DIanna Rigg
Bob Hoskins
John Cleese
Ben Kingsley
Joanna Lumley

And Andrew Neil, from This Week.

To cap it off, the whole film is a fantasy based around Michael Winner wanting to kill his ex-girlfriend.   Calm down dear!

Death Wish 2 is absolutely fucking great. A woman made retarded by a rape gets raped again (by Laurence fishburne! Filmed erotically...) and jumps out of a building to her death onto spikes. Top stuff.

Tonight I had the dubious pleasure of watching Around the World in 80 Days (2004). Frankly it has the most astonishing collection of muddled fake accents I've ever witnessed and pretty damn odd cast.

Shamelessly stollen from Wikipedia..

Escape to Victory has be in with a shout?

Oscar-winning luvvie Michael Caine

Oscar-winning Sly Stallone being a keeper

Pele, Bobby Moore, Ardiles, plus other footballers including Mike Summerbee and John Wark

Max von Sydow

Tim Piggott-Smith

The guy that played Counsellor David Horton in the Vicar of Dibley

 

For a mix of Hollywood greats, sporting greats and Russell Osman, I'd nominate this...

The cast isn't all out bonkers, but Lost Highway has a fair few "what the fuck are they doing there?" moments

Robert Blake (child star who ended up being responsible for the death of his wife)

Richard Prior

Henry Rollins

Gary Busey

Guy Siner (Gruber from Allo Allo)

Marylin Manson and Twiggy Ramirez

Michael Caine looked like he could go a bit too. Stick him in the center of midfield and watch him spray the passes.
