In 1970 I joined a ship just below the iron bridge, at the point where Carter is getting rescued by a girl in a sports car. A small coaster that was just over the size required to have an RO. I did three months ploughing up and down from the Thames to the Northeast (visiting some of the ports shown in the final chase of the film, which interestingly stretched over 30 miles 
) and visited all manner of pubs in the Northeast.
I do take the piss out of Geordies (it's a well known pastime at sea) but I enjoyed every minute of my time on that little ship.

This fellow Herve Attia has done quite a few of these videos. He travels to the various locations of films, figures out the shots and backgrounds then makes a video that blends the original film camera shots into a modern day view. And he really does it well, (keeping the music overlay too.) He must have done quite some travelling to produce his videos ...

Good stuff, someone put a similar type of film of London on here a while ago. Can't remember what section it was in though.This fellow Herve Attia has done quite a few of these videos.

Very interesting.

Stanley Kubrick was a master film maker, and I still regard this as his masterpiece. He took classical music and fitted it to his space scenes. Nearly everybody is still familiar with the classic 2001: A Space Odyssey theme from classical Richard Strauss, but this scene, where we are introduced to the phenomenal spacecraft Discovery One he puts to ballet music. Just about everything about this scene is perfect, a giant space craft rolling by (copied over and over in subsequent SciFi films.) No CGI here, it didn't exist then. All the filming is done using models and astounding lighting. He also used perfect music.
The internal scene with Gary Lockwood jogging was done in a huge vertical rotating set with fixed and mobile cameras and is pure Kubrick. I've still got the LP Soundtrack up in the attic, which I bought after I'd first seen it in 1968. I've watched it many times since and it's never dated, although we're now nearly 20 years on from the time the film was set, so it was pretty optimistic at the time.

Vangelis again !! He's that good.
I thought this was exactly right for the film. I've seen three films of the story of HMS Bounty, Clarke Gable and Charles Laughton, Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard, and then this one, Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins. I think this one was the best, at least more honest than the others, less involved with cliché ..

Agreed, this is my favourite out of the three.

Enjoying a drop of red.
You know it's going to be good when Hans Zimmer's in the frame.
