Malcolm | 10 Things you probably didn't know | 1986

[@colbyshea5915]

I rewatched this quirky movie last year and found I still enjoyed it. Malcom's inventions are excellent and it's nice to try and spot which parts of Melbourne they shot in, the film is definitely a cultural time capsule. Great video, I definitely learned a few new things about the film, thank you

[@3PointsFilms]

Thank you for watching! Comments like yours let's me know it was worth putting up the video. It's definitely a time capsule, the fashion, the cop cars, the world time punch cards. The TVs as mentioned. Maybe I like the movie so much, because secretly I wish I was back in the 80s 90s when life was simpler (says me on my smartphone).

My mum worked at a college (high school). The media department was having a clean out, and I got a promotional movie poster of Malcolm for free. Pride of place for several years on my bedroom wall

[@3PointsFilms]

@@boredincan very nice. Hold onto it if you still have it!

I love this film. I first saw it as a teenager on British TV in the 1980's. It was like discovering a special secret that only a few lucky people knew about in the UK. I went on to study (Special Effects) Modelmaking at university and this is one of those films I count as inspiring that career choice. I also collect Australian movies (particularly comedies) from that era, again that started with Malcom

[@3PointsFilms]

That is a wayyy cool career choice. Hopefully you have a model Tram somewhere. As you collect movies similar to Malcolm, have any suggestions? (Besides castle, big steal, spotswood)

[@matthewhuxtable1557]

A delightful film from my youth, had it on VHS!

[@3PointsFilms]

Such an enjoyable movie. That VHS might be worth some money in the future.

Very underrated film loved this

[@3PointsFilms]

Very underrated sadly. Thank you for watching!

[@danpayne1010]

I loved it when I watched it at Greater Union at release

[@3PointsFilms]

Hey Dan, like I was saying to someone else, I would've loved to have seen it at the cinemas, to hear other people's reactions to some of the scenes (I find certain scenes hilarious, whereas my friends think "meh"). 80s, what a time to be alive.

[@factoryfactory7142]

Loved that movie! Feckin ace!

[@3PointsFilms]

@factoryfactory7142 hey thanks for watching! Good to know others love this movie too.

[@ChrisTopher-cy8ph]

Great movie, saw it at Cinema, criminally underrated funny flick

[@3PointsFilms]

@ChrisTopher-cy8ph wow wish I couldve seen it at the movies. Just to hear people's reactions. It's crazily underrated, and it seems forgotten. Thanks for watching Christopher

[@JamesTaylor-n1u]

Same.

[@johnxj2083]

rewatched it only recently and played spot the location. How Melbourne has changed.

[@3PointsFilms]

It's crazy. Not just buildings and houses, bit it's like entire streets have been created. Then on the other hand you see buildings like that green one I pointed out, with the same paint job 40 years later.

[@christopherdean1326]

No 1 would be "That this film existed".....

[@3PointsFilms]

@christopherdean1326 lol. Yeah not a lot of people know about this film, but I rate it above many other Australian movies.

[@JamesTaylor-n1u]

Saw it at the cinema. You like old Australian films? Try Bad Boy Bubby.

[@ChrisTopher-cy8ph]

@@JamesTaylor-n1u first aussie movie I saw at cinema was Storm boy about 1977 78, awesome. Had David ,," Gidday Mick" Gullipul (sp?) in it

[@3PointsFilms]

Hey James. I do. Movies like Malcolm, big steal, spotswood, heartbreak kid. (Young Einstein, reckless Kelly was ok). But I want to see if I can find more like this. I haven't seen Bad Boy Bubby, but ive heard the name. Is that the one where his mother forces him to stay home and ...

[@ChrisTopher-cy8ph]

@3AcesFilms lots of gladwrap

[@3PointsFilms]

I think Storm Boy is on Netflix at the moment, worth a watch?

[@ChrisTopher-cy8ph]

@3AcesFilms Totally! South Australian Film Commission did Alot of movies, this is a great one with beautiful camera work

[@User0000000000000004]

Why are there words all over your video? Annoying as hell.

[@3PointsFilms]

@User0000000000000004 haha i was contemplating whether or not to do that, but it's for deaf people - youtube's own subtitles are very unreliable. But point noted, i won't burn them in on the next video. But if you mean those green ones... yeah I think i started off doing a correction, and then lost the plot. Will remember not to do so on the next video. Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it.
