"Great scores fellas. MD as you are a film nut I must say you must watch Rear Window. Probably my favourite film, just edging BTTF into second place. I was blown away by it purely because of it's originality ad it's probably the perfect role for Jimmy Stewart. The gorgeous Grace Kelly obviously helps."

[Mad Dog]

Hard way. 8 for jaws All 11 for back to the future 7 rear window. (Despite never having seen it. The last question helped) Love (LOVE) the back to the future films. The best trilogy ever. Fun fact: Hill Valley is a contradiction in terms
