Film 83 full episode Barry Norman reviews Trading Places and Brainstorm

[@karlfran0404]

40 years ago. I remember watching Barry Norman's Film 'XX as often as I could. Watching this clip now is like going back in time. The theme music, Barry's interesting inflections, and"and why not?". This was the golden age of TV and film for me. Thanks for posting

[@eddisonfoncette9103]

When I was a kid, Barry Norman's film series was essential viewing I tried every week to win a directors chair. I can't believe this was shown 38 years ago it only seems like yesterday , where did it all go? Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories.

[@ajs41]

Seems like 5 minutes ago. I say that even though I was only 4 at the time.

[@amandeepv]

He never reviewed Godfather 3 😢

[@tompo010101]

Trading Places still holds up today. A classic

[@edmund184]

interestingly Norman didn't spot it. He never spotted classics.

[@johndean1465]

Still Murphy’s best film

Trading places is an absolute classic, the whole film is great, Lionel Joseph should have got his own film!

[@delbongo]

Yep, a film about a blacked-up millionaire would go down an absolute storm 😂

[@DECKER1982]

God . These are days youll never get back

[@tedh79]

Miss Barry N and the film show. There’s absolutely nothing comparable on TV today sadly

[@asifkhan4822]

When I was young, I also used to watch the Film program with Barry Norman on a regular basis. First started with Film 86 or 87. Nice to find Full episodes on KZbin as has been a long time now

[@carltonjohnston8408]

This was nice to watch - great to have the BBC intro too. 40 years ago, Jesus.

[@stephenturner6075]

Trading Places is outstanding...Barry Norman never seemed to think much of it.

[@Truthseeker1515]

So lucky to see Trading Places with my parents in theatre, I was 10 and discovered Eddie, we all love him in France.

[@noellecox3952]

Myself and my dad always watch Barry Norman together he is sadly miss on television

[@jasonladd6400]

I saw trading places in its first weekend in 83. Was only 15 or 16 and laughed non stop.

[@terrycharnley]

I watched Barry Norman's film program every week back then, and really missed it when he left in 1998 or whenever it was to go to Sky. Jonathon Ross took over but it just wasn't the same. Thanks for this. Strangely though, I find now that I disagree with a lot of what Barry says on here. Hey, times change and so do points of view. Nice memory though.

[@memoir4you]

Totally agree , loved watching Barry's programme in the 1990's when growing up.

[@moc7323]

Barry didn’t realise this was the golden generation of movies .. Gods knows what he say about Fast and Furious 99 .. he was way too hard on the movies .. these are classics .

[@billygillan821]

This is. brilliant thank you,as it brings happy memories of loved ones watching Barry Norman,and great shows and movies in theses happy days

[@2ndCOATrequired]

Barry Norman. #No1. Xxxx

[@jmcallion2071]

Was and still is the King of Movie Reviewers! And why not!!😂

[@scottptolomey3498]

Barry Norman was brilliant his no nonsense approach to film reviews were not to put us off just his own witty observations with his own input ..Something no critics can seem to do these days

[@garyhunt8067]

Remember watching this. Barry Norman was brilliant.

[@garyhunt8067]

Always watched this. Miss you 😢Barry

[@paularnold1930]

Classy guy who pioneered quality movies, now so rare!

[@colshythecomedian]

I’m just disappointed I missed the Rockford Files.

[@binghamguevara6814]

This always came on late, like 10:30pm on BBC One. Never saw a single episode. I watched “Movies, Games & Videos” on ITV in the afternoons.

[@tobobobo2842]

Really enjoyed that. Thank you.

[@glasgowgrad6277]

The others really don't stand up to Norman. They simply don't possess his sharp observation, his relaxed sarcasm and his pure film brain. They're just not in the same league. Only Mark Kermode and Kim Newman can give us similar range and insight.

[@johnmc3862]

The jail scene is an absolute classic!

[@littleowl3607]

How decent were the films back then 🎉

[@JimGall]

A crap Christmas tree like that today would be ironic.

[@repboy1]

I still have great memories of seeing jaws 3D at the movies, with my 3D glasses on which had the shark over the nose

[@damiangriffiths7801]

I never realised Robbie Coltrane was in Krull!

[@michaeldonovan231]

Liam neeson was also in it.

[@NarcMaxForce]

0:31 The guy rolling backwards. Can anybody identify the title of this film please?

[@peterbenassi7010]

Loved this. Thank you for posting. Do you have any other eps?

[@royfr8136]

I loved Krull.

[@nicky29031977]

Still remember the tv trailer for Jaws 3d in 1983.

[@standenberg]

Loved this show & always liked & respected Barry Norman...but his review of Trading Places was harsh & inaccurate. It WAS & IS an absolutely fantastic movie from start to finish... and ALL the main cast were superb!!

[@maratonlegendelenemirei3352]

Back in the day Eddie Murphy was an absolute mega superstar!

[@johnmc3862]

He was!

[@knownpleasures]

Not really. It was before Beverly Hills Cop

[@southlondon86]

@@knownpleasures He was a huge star after 48 hours.

[@igolfjtweetler4097]

A bit off the mark on trading places. A classic

[@ajs41]

Anyone know the precise date of this?

[@ziauddinkhan5699]

I miss Barry Norman's reviews, most of all I miss his wit and droll humour.

[@simonboyes2550]

40 years? Are you sure 😊

[@baggierols73]

Wow. In Brianstorm they've invented the World Wide Web 10yrs before World Wide Web 😆

[@stephenkissane4268]

Jaws 3 is awesome

[@philiphalpenny3783]

I suspect the rubber shark maybe taken aback with that appraisal!!

[@DavyDredd14]

Jaws 3 is awesomely abysmal

[@USSSaville]

Ken Matthews?? Ken Marshall surely…and why not! At least we get 2 great James Horner scored movies in the one programme.

[@amandeepv]

Young Liam Neeson

[@petetube99]

Norman was being way too churlish, the ending would have been ruined if it was filled with jokes, Trading Places is a recognised classic it's a critic's actual job to recognise that.

[@delbongo]

Imagine if it was your actual job to recognise a moron

[@uksilverstacker413]

Got it wrong about Trading Places

[@gazjones3549]

Since fucking when was Robbie Coltrane in Krull?

[@houzbizness303]

Robie Coltrane was in Krull. You can even see in the clip from the film at 22:13.
