Episode 050: Misery (1990, Rob Reiner)

Paul Sheldon may only be one man,
But Annie sees him and makes a plan,
After they squabbled,
Ankles are hobbled,
And she says: “I’m your number one fan!”

Episode 049: Stir Crazy (1980, Sidney Poitier)

When they both get fired and feel down,
Harry and Skip head out of town,
One of them rides,
While the other hides,
As a prison rodeo clown.

The latest diamond smuggling batch,
Is a victim of Tiffany’s sn**ch,
Big girls and small,
Bond likes them all,
As long as the collars and cuffs match.

Episode 047: The Magnificent Seven (1960, John Sturges)

Searching for someone to intervene,
Guns for hire are few and far between,
So good so far,
But who’s the star,
Is it Yul Brynner or Steve McQueen?

Episode 046: The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951, Robert Wise)

A flying saucer led conflicto,
Of nuclear apocalypto,
They just don’t belong,
If something goes wrong,
Just say “Klaatu barada nikto”.

Episode 043: Play Misty For Me (1971, Clint Eastwood)

In terms of radio prevelance,
The choice of music is Evelyn’s,
A first for Clint,
Wind, reel and print,
Piano jazz is malevolence.

Episode 042: Spartacus (1960, Stanley Kubrick)

Roman gladiators startle us,
With battles that are so marvellous,
Approaching Rome,
Without a home,
Always remember: “I’m Spartacus!”

Episode 041: The Man In The White Suit (1951, Alexander Mackendrick)

There’s a magical new pattern,
Capital and Labour will flatten,
A white so brill,
Trouble at t’Mill
All because of Sidney Stratton.
