Oh yes, Triplets of Belleville/ Rendezvous a Belleville/ Belleville Rendezvous (some clips on YouTube under the last title). Brilliant, but weird, sad and kind of disturbing. But one of the great dogs of film, and the old ladies are wonderful.

One of the most disturbing films I've ever seen: Grave of the Fireflies - a Japanese animation about two children who starve to death during and after World War II, based on its author's own childhood.

Sold as a double bill with this, My Neighbor Totoro, a charming animation about two little girls and their father, who move to the country to be near their hospitalised mother, and the magical creatures the girls encounter there. A film I used to put on for any visiting kids when I had a telly.

I also used to put on (for older kids - it's a bit scary) The Time Bandits, a Terry Gilliam film about a boy and a band of bandit dwarves travelling through time pursued by a besuited God. Satan does a nice turn as a game-show host. All kinds of stars, including Sean Connery as Theseus and John Cleese playing Robin Hood in a killing imitation of Prince Philip ("Eh, thenk you, the poor will be *so* grateful. (Who were those *dreadful* people?)" he drawls.)

Plus all the other Ghibli ones - Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, etc.

If you like St Trinian's, you'll love The Happiest Days of Your Life - due out soon on DVD. Alistair Sim and Margaret Rutherford as headmaster and headmistress of two minor public schools who find that the post-war Department of Education has accidentally housed their boys' and girls' schools together. Very, very funny, with a great performance by Joyce Grenfell as a delicately hearty gym mistress.

Baraka - not a plotty type of film but a meditation in utterly beautiful film about life and religion.

Wings of Desire - Wim Wenders' strange film about angels. Beautiful and brilliant.

Bubba Ho Tep - Elvis and JFK are together in an old people's home invaded by an evil mummy. Say no more. This film has everything.

That's enough for now. I could go on...
