09/23/2017 "Those Fantastic Flying Fools" from 1967 with Burl Ives and Terry Thomas. I saw it in a very large cinema. There were two other people in the hall. They got up and left about a third of the way through. I had won a free ticket and was determined to stay until teh end. That was by far the worst movie I have ever seen. Although I must admit, Cage's "Wicker Man" is an extremely bad movie as well. This is my nomination for the world's worst movie See more 09/05/2016 amusing comedy as p.t. Barnum tries to persuade the English to fund a rocket ship to the moon See more 08/08/2015 another 'it's a mad mad mad mad world' See more 08/06/2013 Enjoyable enough farce based on Jules Verne's writings, mainly as Terry-Thomas is in devious and shifty mode once again, a character he played so well time and time again. See more 10/05/2010 perfectly enjoyable T-T romp but nothing special. See more Read all reviews
