The Dish--POSSIBLE SPOILER

[mr procter]

We have just watched
The Dish
and its not about babes. well I cannot understand how I have never heard anything about this movie.

What a well made film this is, a must see, no fancy surround sound, but a film with a great story, and the whole cast, should get a pat on the back.

there is a scene, playing the national anthems, that must go down as a comedy classic.

I agree, it's a very good film. It was released on about 200 screens back in May and did quite well but was overshadowed a bit by more conspicuous blockbusters. It's the kind of quality mainstream film that should build up strong word of mouth when it's on video.

Although I obviously can't complain about spoiler warnings in subject headers, might it not have been a good idea to mention which film you were actually talking about <U>before</U> people clicked on the thread? :D

(I'm assuming <I>The Dish</I> doesn't have an alternate title <I>Heart Warming Story</I>!)

Incidentally, I can't recommend <I>The Dish</I> highly enough - and the R4 is 100% definitely the one to go for: it's got as many extras as I've ever come across on a DVD (unlike the embarrassingly bare-bones R1!)

Good Point Micheal,

as you can see the header has now changed.

It was the region 1, that I saw, and had no extras to mention,
but when films are as good as this, I can for once, manage without.

Agree whole heartedly, a very under-rated film which makes you feel all warm and happy inside:)

Agree about the national anthem scene:D and isn't that young dish of a girl from Neighbours, one of the boy and girl twins me recollects.

[Arch Stanton]

agreed. It's one of those movies that just makes you grin like an idiot for 90 mins.
:D

The film did O.K at the U.K box office but i think it came out the same week as Bridger Jones Diary so it got lost in that films hype.


I also recomend 'The Castle' an earlier film from the makers of 'The Dish.' which is just as good if not better.

Agreed the film is great, but the region 4 extras are exceptional. I've not listened to the 2 commentaries yet, but the NASA archive material is fascinating.
