Pretty sure the 1st time I really sat up & noticed a film score was seeing Enter the Dragon at an inappropriately young age (it was a pre-cert VHS, after all). As soon a Lalo Schifrin's theme kicked in - wow, that is something else. #RIPLaloshifrin #Laloshifrin www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6eM...

1st released 95 years #OTD - Laurel & Hardy's #BelowZero. A near perfect early talkie comedy with a side-order of Depression-era desperation. WATCH : www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk-H...

Very interesting evening with my daughter at #BFISouthbank watching the ultra-obscure 'The Merry Monarch' (aka The Adventures of King Pausole) with Emil Jannings & Sidney Fox - a film so odd, fragmented, stream-of-consciousness & dreamlike I might actually have been asleep & dreamt it entirely...
