Totally. First saw him in cold comfort farm I think?? And he has only improved with age. Really enjoyed vicbourne while it lasted - now I need fanfic to fill the void it has left in my soul!!!!!

me too!! this feels so weird though bc I was waiting for Victoria x Albert so happily and THIS happened. give us all the fics!! oooh I saw CCF too, but later, and I agree he is getting sexier as time passes. I know the first time I saw him was 1998 bc I remember but I saw Dangerous Beauty, Dark City and Martha, Frank... around the same time so I don’t know... pretty sure it was Dangerous Beauty!

I read somewhere that Green hell was voted worst film of the year 1940 and it has never been able to recover from that - hence why there is no remastered version. A travesty. I need remastered sweaty Dongles pls.

I cannot believe this is the worst film of 1940, it’s not even the worst film I’ve watched this WEEK (*cough* The Charge of the Light Brigade *cough*). Damn those lying bastards who voted this way. This is a terrific film for lots of reasons. Sweaty, homoerotic reasons. 

I’ve not watched all the films from 1940 tho, obvs, but a quick check of wikipedia tells me there were two George Formby films that year as well as a couple of Saint ones (which are pretty poor). I feel quite lucky because all the 1940 films I’ve watched have been at least good, and at best terrific: (I got this list off wikipedia which thought Brief Encounter was 1940 so it might be a bit wrong but these ones I’ve seen:)

Angels Over Broadway, Fantasia, Foreign Correspondent, The Grapes of Wrath, The Great Dictator, His Girl Friday, I Love You Again, Island of Doomed Men, The Mark of Zorro, My Favorite Wife, The Philadelphia Story, Rebecca, The Saint Takes Over, The Sea Hawk, The Shop Around the Corner, Stranger on the Third Floor,  and over in Blighty Busman's Honeymoon, Contraband, Gaslight, Girl in the News, Night Train to Munich, The Stars Look Down, The Thief of Bagdad, Three Silent Men, A Window in London
