It's weird that this is listed as a comedy. Teenage drama, with coming-of-age elements, mystery and superheroedom. With a nice touch of gore. Good stuff. Seven short episodes in the first season, with a teaser at the end for the mystery to be solved.
Fascinating. The first and second episodes play around with the roles of the various characters, but have fine atmosphere and strong performances and were really interesting. The third episode is confusing at the start, but that gets sorted after a while. But it has more of a quirky SF feel, and finishes on a note which was utterly unconvincing.
This is a Monty Python short that was run before The Life of Brian at cinemas in the late 1970s. I sat there appalled when it started, and then tumbled to the joke. Hilarious.
It's kind of weird, trying to put yourself into the middle-class mindset of 1955 in order to experience the menace suggested by this movie, but it is worth the effort.
You are in the wrong place! This is a German movie. The one you really want is the fine Japanese anime movie Tenkû no shiro Rapyuta (Castle in the Sky). Go here - http://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/tenku+no+shiro+rapyuta/ to tick the right one.

If you have Netflix, do check out the new Netflix Original Season 3 of 2016. Six episodes, and very much up to the standards of the first two.Movie comment on Bliss

Thanks benhere, that made it comprehensible, and very smart. Quite the inversion of what would stereotypically been thought back in 1927.Movie comment on The Old Actor

Fairly interesting horror piece, with a rationalist under voodoo assault. Or is he? Photography and pacing clearly under a Hitchcockian influence.Movie comment on Twelve O'Clock High

A very decent little end-of-the-world thriller.Movie comment on Atlantic Flight

Clearly Dick Merrill was a great pilot. But the movie would have benefited from having someone else play his role.Still, an interesting little piece on early aviation.

A comedy that's very clever, and brilliant work from Peter Sellers. But ultimately it's pretty depressing.Movie comment on Poison Pen

Neat little drama. Lot's of British pre-war stereotypes, but bit of a morality tale on group think and gossip.Showing items 1 – 25 of 27
