Cryptic Films

Thanks Feey. Next: Programme encompasses Home Counties?

Starred a household name who did a lot of this genre.

A phrase repeatedly said by the star, was picked up by a famous group and used as a title to a well known song. There is also a musical link to a British group.

The programme - think of TV and radio.

Broadcast news

No Feey. A much older film and I think it’s fair to say a classic of its type.

The Searchers

That’s it Devo. Well done. The (SE) Archers.

I thank you. Here’s a good film…

Burnt to death, I understand.

Ashes to Ashes

Not that one, sorry.

The Wicker Man?

Not that one. This film is a couple of years younger. The clue is a little less explicit and punny.

The Towering inferno

No. This film is British.

The clue refers to the name by which the film is generally known although it is pretty obvious it originally had a shorter name. Both are given by Wikipedia.

The Man Who Fell to Earth?

No. This is definitely not a Sci-fi film.
It could be placed with a number of loosely similar films from yesteryear, the difference here being it was more than a simple vehicle.

The main characters were played by non-actors who did okay and one of them went to other roles over the years.

Mark Kermode rates this film highly and puts the soundtrack in the all-time top 50.
