Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Not a great movie but enjoyable, particularly if you like the era.
Note to Aimee: it also features Judy Geeson (in a nude scene), aka the Mean British Neighbor from Mad About You.
Does anyone know the best way to fix a scratch on a DVD disc? My multi-disc player occasionally refuses to change discs without scratching the hell out of them, and did so on Sunday night to Disc 1 of my practically-brand-new Spaced set.
Damnit.
And I don't want to have to buy a new set unless I absolutely have to, so any repair tips y'all can give would be appreciated!
t also features Judy Geeson
also the school girl who had a crush on Sidney Poitier in To Sir With Love.

It's one of my all-time favorite movies.
I've got the soundtrack. It's a favorite among hip hop DJs/producers because it's got some very funky grooves for sampling.
Video interview with Viggo Mortensen about Good.
