Drive-Away Dolls - Cinema Effect Ep. 231

Question Of The Week: What is your favourite movie based on a TV show? Post your answer in the comments below to be featured on next week's episode. Next Week's Film: Mission Impossible (Netflix, Stan, Binge, Foxtel, Paramount+)

My favourite movie based on a TV show is The Untouchables (1987). The Cinema Effect theme tune is fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it ;-) All of the Cinema Effect team should be equal contributors. The onus should not be on one person to lead all of the discussion. Speak up, speak clearly and look at your audience occasionally ;-) This is an edited version of the longer comments I posted yesterday (which seem to have vanished). Cheers again, Leanne

That was also my answer too! 😅 Placed it on the Discord yesterday, as it reads: "Much like De Palma doing this Mission Impossible film that you will be reviewing this week, he also remade The Untouchables which was also based on a TV show from the 60s that went for four seasons. That’s without a doubt my favourite film based on a TV show, and probably the best one since nothing else on the list I searched up has the class of both De Palma’s films. Maybe Miami Vice from Michael Mann but I tried watching it twice. My prediction for Liam’s answer." The theme, while funny-sounding, deserves to stay for a while before considering any change. I also agree with the feedback for the podcasters!

@@andylausupremacy6478 Yes! I can't think of a better movie in response to this week's question :-) I have seen The Untouchables so many times but it's always such a classic. While I am generally not a fan of Kevin Costner in films, he's terrific in this one. Of course, Andy García, Robert De Niro, Sean Connery and Martin Smith are also fantastic! Many thanks for the reply. We have very good taste :-)

You're welcome, Dr Leanne! The cinema cuisine was always strong with The Untouchables. Always pleased to have exchanges with fellow moviegoers who have great taste 🙏
