He touched so many during his life and continues to be a bastion of piety to this day.

Mickey Rourke wonderfully portrays St Francis of Assisi in a film that could have only been done to this caliber in the 80s.

From rich soldier to holy Saint; this picture shows a journey as physical as it is holy and does so splendidly by utilising it's framing and the structure of extended flashbacks.

I was awfully surprised that they decided to only mention St Francis' assignment to speak with the Saracens instead of showing the way he masterfully battled the cheif in a duel of sacred philosophy.

Overall it's a wonderful picture that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

I heard about this gem on a worst programme list and was absolutely delighted to find that my instinct to give it a try led me to a hilarious and fresh comedy from BBC 3.

Every episode has it's moments but sprinkled throughout the three seasons are moments of pant pissing hilarity.

I implore everyone to check it out because it's one of the best televisual discoveries I've made.

It's alot more light-hearted than the original and won't have you pissing yourself with laughter as often but it really has it's moments and I'd like to have seen what season two would've been like.

This programme took the idea of the Inbetweeners and gave new stories and scenarios which are really refreshing for fans who've seen the original as many times as I have.

It's definitely time for a re-evaluation because no reimagining is going to touch the original and I think this is a very fine programme as a independent entity, one which is very hard to view and worth the hunt.

The way this film blends comedy with drama was sublime, especially with regards to how it brought new life to a much beloved comedic character.

I can't imagine where the character of "Nan" will pop up next but I'll certainly be looking forward to it.

Need I say more? It's absolutely positively the jewel of Kubrick's filmography down to the finest detail.
