Just as long as you weren’t  wearing budgie smugglers in sympathy, I think we’re safe

I have to say that as a Canuck who watched English comedies from very young, Monty Python, Ronnies, Some mothers do have em etc that there is no better comedy or command of the English language than you guys have!

Budgie Smugglers!!lol! man I'm laughing at this one after looking it up and am "chuffed to bits" that I found the meaning 😀

My hat is off to you guys 👍

and I still watch English comedy at every chance. (but no more sci fi )

I have the DVD as well.  We watch it when we have a cloudy night at star parties. 😀

I also like "First Men in the Moon"

Where's 'The Time Machine' (1960)...?   I don't think i ever got over Yvette Mimieux ! 😍

You have to add 'The day the Earth stood still '(1956)

One of my more recent favourites............'Ex Machina'  I thought that was a brilliant film.
