, You might say why make gun fights when they reuqire a large budget, but also you might say - why make a drama films, because they require propaly trained actors.I'd rather watch a student horror film with a weak story if it's funny and well made than a student drama with a good script , but lines read by people who can't act and keep smiling and looking at the camera.

Maybe they just want to make a fun film and enjoy themselves.

The first film i went to see at the cinema was ghost busters and since then, since going to art college and sitting through all that 'art', it's still the best because its the one that that means the most to me. there's a simalar reason as to why i love zombie films so much, i've seen shit ones and i've seen fantastic ones but anyone who says people shouldn't make them is a cunt.

Hello, I'm Ken Korda - filmmaker. Welcome to my Manifesto for the Future of British Film.

Why do we overlook Britain's huge acting talent pool? Household names like Ainsley Harriet, Toyah Wilcox, PJ and Duncan and Keith Chegwin could "open" a movie easily in this country. Who needs Jim Carrey when you've got Jim Bowen? Come on Britain, wake up!

Let's be proud of our national film heritage! It's time to give movies like 'Morons From Outer Space', 'Nuns on the Run', 'Absolute Beginners', 'Give my Regards to Broad Street' and that feature length 'Heartbeat' episode the respect they deserve!

If Hollywood can make hits out of 'Mission Impossible' and 'The Flintstones', why do we ignore the big screen potential of shows like 'Birds of a Feather', 'Hollyoaks', 'Bugs', 'Bodger and Badger' and 'Tarrant on TV?' These are our national mythologies!

If we can't afford to make big blockbusters, we should learn from low-budget American films like 'Weekend at Bernie's', 'Turner and Hooch' and 'Mannequin'. A film like 'Baby Boom' for instance, could easily have been set in the Docklands starring Pauline Quirk. Now there's an idea!

The more shocking we can make our films, the more successful they will be. Always be sure to glorify one or all of these things; drugs, guns, swearing, deviant sex, random violence, copper-killing and ill thought-out criminal escapades. Now get Nick Berry to play the lead and you've got yourself a movie!

I'm not saying make dull drama's
Just make something with a little
bit more integrety than the aping
Holywood syndrome.
I sighted Bad Taste, and Evil Dead
earlier, because they have some
degree of quirkyness that sets them
apart from other genre films of the
same ilk.
Futher more, arty farty pretentious
crap is just as bad as doing piss
poor sclhock films.

Why does everything have to be out to shock. Personally i'd rather see a good storyline with some wit and imagination...and for chrissake "Night of the Living Dead" is pretty dire...No story, generic charachters, shoddy effects, and a complete absence of any explanation for whats going on...people often to resort to shock tactics if the material isn't good enough.

now ya talking...

doesn't sound like you spoon boy...
