These were such a massive part of me and my brother's education. I still think back to something from a moviedrome film on a daily basis. There's an interview with Cox on a recent episode of the Movie Mindset podcast. It's a wonderful interview, but listening to it actually made me angry to have been deprived of his vast knowledge and wit for so long. The man should be a national treasure. Why on earth was Moviedrome discontinued? It's maddening to think how much more expensive the slop we get served now is to make. Before this becomes an extended rant, thank you very much for uploading this. Great stuff and so many fond memories.
Thank you so much for this. Alex is an inspiration and a hero, could have listened to him all day. Will be looking into be a part of this project. Has reignited a fire, Straight to Hell changed my life, have worked in the film industry in Georgia for 30 years and have become jaded and uninspired. This has renewed my desire to experiment with film and story telling again, thank you for that. If your ever in Georgia for work, or pleasure, I would be ecstatic to help out. Actually would be ecstatic to help any where you work!!! Thank you both again, talk about timing,really needed that in my life right now. Alex you are the best. Thank you
@@VideoTasties yes!!!! Just this morning,going to talk with my wife when I get home this weekend and see what kind funds we can faniggle to help out. Would be giddy as a school girl to even play a small part in helping get this made! Thank you for making me aware, and for the great interview, felt like I was sitting in my living room with two old friends
Yes yes yes thank you for posting this, used to love these films on a Sunday night, was so special to have someone hand pick these cult films, learnt so much from the films and intros by Cox
Thanks for posting this, used to love Moviedrome. First film I saw on there was the Man who Fell to Earth , which i loathed at the time (I was about 12). But I kept on watching, I think it was the sense of discovery. Back then, there was no internet and the only thing I had to go on was the reviews in the newspaper. Every now and then they’d show something which absolutely blew me away. Films like Assault on precinct 13, Trancers, Django, The Big Silence and Yojimbo were particularly memorable. The other thing I liked about it was Alex Cox’s somewhat original opinions, I remember him hating Platoon and calling The Shining boring. Didn’t like the Mark Cousins era, the films they showed were more commercial and he wasn’t a patch on Cox.
Absolutely phenomenal show that entertained and inspired me during my childhood with loads of much loved classics and fascinating new finds. Top of the list for me would be The Wicker Man which I’m glad is included here. It was Moviedrome that introduced me to Hardy’s classic back when I was 14 and I was instantly intrigued by the weird little movie that has over the years become my much lauded favourite film of all time with its eclectic soundtrack, stunning screenplay and thankfully some if not all of the footage absent from my original viewing. An absolute masterpiece of a movie from a TV show that really needs to be brought back.
I feel lucky that Moviedrome landed when I was in my late teens, just when my appetite for these kind of movies was at its peak! An essential education.
I adored Moviedrome. Got the book to accompany the series too. Thank you so much Electra Glide in Blue Skip Tracer (outside of MD but still in slot) Down By Law Carny The Friends of Eddie Coyle Vanishing Point Funny Bones Dead of Night Big Wednesday Five Easy Pieces Dead Ringers Assault on Precinct 13 Performance Dark Star Diva The list goes on......Im a DVD collector of over a thousand titles, built mainly from the Moviedrome collection. I owe a lot to Alex, he ignited my obsession with movies. My god, I still want the job - talking movies, analysing them, introducing them. Bliss Golden memories, Small Change by Tom Waits says it all - living on the fringe, proudly and with a big jazzy blow
207 movies were presented on MovieDrome between Cox and Cousins during its run Wikipedia has them all listed. Thanks for this compilation, it was a great way to bring interesting movies to the public
Fun to rewatch these after so long. Although I'm still salty about his Manhunter intro, which annoyed me at the time and (I'm pleased to say) has aged terribly, with the film now rightly regarded as a classic and Mann one of the great directors of last 30 years.
John Carpenter’s Halloween is the one I clearly remember the most. I managed to watch it completely by accident thanks to a vhs recording overrunning. I’ll tell ya full story another time mate 👌
What a *uckin’ fantastic compilation. I had an acquaintance who when he did not have time to watch the actual movie, he would always make a point of watching Alex Cox’s intros. I always found this weird, but 30 years on, it makes total sense. Thank you for going to all this effort. Sometimes the algorithms send you links of diamonds, instead of cables of sh1te.
I loved MovieDrome, at least until Mark Cousins (the world's dullest man) took over. I will certainly be revisiting some of these films. Thanks for posting.
The life of Alex Cox is always intense. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about Alex Cox. Suddenly someone'll say, like, Alex, or Cox, or Alex Cox out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.
If I ever met Alex Cox I would shake his hand because it for the first time a movie can be trash and yet be truly great something that other more mainstream movie critics at the time (say 'Barry Norman') just didn't quite 'get' but others did. I always wished for more analysis from Alex Cox about the film other than his short intros, this was something that was missing from the BBC back in the day and I would argue to this day - thank god for the internet and TH-cam etc for this.
13:31 one thing I HATED about the BBC at this time was the AWFUL censorship on most of the big films. They really treated us like kids didn’t they. “The Terminator” was cut to shreds by BBC here I remember noticing the edits and ended up buying the VHS instead 😡
2 hours of top entertainment on its own right here. Just a pity the sound recordist was locked in a safe at the bottom of a lake. Alex Cox directed Repo Man, a personal favourite, and Sid and Nancy as well as being a regular in the World's best pub, the Ship and Mitre in Liverpool, for a while.
@@VideoTasties That's OK, just glad someone had the vision to record them in any state. Video tape seemed cutting edge as recently as the 80's yet seems so backward already, how far we've come. Thanks to alien technology. Probably.
What? That was never a rule - literature and movies are very inconsistent about "the rules," but most movies have always shown a bite as being sufficient, or at least dying from a bite.

Btw, he has a kickstarter for his latest and probably last project. It is Gogol's Dead Souls set in Mexico and partially shot in Almeria!!!
Thanks, I interviewed Alex this week and thanked him for the show
@@VideoTasties Oh, that's brilliant! Will definitely give it a watch. Just skimming through your channel, you've got some really excellent stuff!
@@andzzz2 Thank you
Agreed. Moviedrome helped change my life and how I watch movies.
this amazing series introduced me to so many great films
Same here I was lucky enough to thank him personally this week
Thanks for posting these intros I utterly loved Moviedrome.I wish Beeb would bring it back

Yeah I stopped when cousins started
Thank you so much for this! I grew up with moviedrome and discovered so many amazing films this way! 👏👏🎥
Same here
Always looked forward to this on a Sunday night.
Same here, most films I didn't know
@@VideoTasties He was responsible for starting my love of Michael Mann's work especially.
This is excellent. Nice walk down memory lane. Well done Gareth. Your killing it man. Bravo!!
Thanks 😊 just an edit job
That brings back memories from my teens. I never knew what film was on but new it would be good. I remember being ecstatic when Razorback came on

Be nice to get hold of those original series books. Cheers from a fellow Blue.
Thanks for that! Loved Moviedrome, it introduced me to SO many great movies!
Thanks, me too
I clearly remember watching The Terminator on Moviedrone. Pretty sure the showed Dawn of the Dead too.
Yeah Alex did it for 4 years and not all the intros available now
I don't know why we don't have this kind of Cinema club more
It would be nice for something similar

I wonder if hi sopinion has changed since then

They were certainly not family friendly 😂

I think ALex said they showed what the BBC had so sometimes it was the TV edit and others were uncut
01:44:54 “a magnificent film called RED DAWN” 😳😳😳
2 hours of top entertainment on its own right here. Just a pity the sound recordist was locked in a safe at the bottom of a lake.
Alex Cox directed Repo Man, a personal favourite, and Sid and Nancy as well as being a regular in the World's best pub, the Ship and Mitre in Liverpool, for a while.
Yeah sadly these were recorded on different tapes at different times would be nice for proper release
@@VideoTasties That's OK, just glad someone had the vision to record them in any state. Video tape seemed cutting edge as recently as the 80's yet seems so backward already, how far we've come. Thanks to alien technology. Probably.
Bring back Alex and Moviedrome. I never understood why this got cancelled. Was great Sunday night TV. For those that love cinema and the movies….
Check out the interview I did with Alex this week
Love Moviedrome, but there’s no way on “planet Earth” Carpenter’s best movie is Dark Star.
@@michaelmyers3709 😂
Generally a vampire bite doesn't turn a person into a vampire. A human must drink the blood of a vampire to become one.
Yeah I wonder what film changed that rule
What? That was never a rule - literature and movies are very inconsistent about "the rules," but most movies have always shown a bite as being sufficient, or at least dying from a bite.
Bravo sir
Thanks
Id buy a disk of these.
Would be great if the BBC released them and in HD
Brian Cox and Anthony Hopkins would both be rather upset at bring described as "English"
😂 I bet
I notice Performance was missing
Was only able to find these and not all that he did
I discovered Performance via Moviedrome and it remains one of my favourite films of all time.
Moviedrome helped me to watch films differently and to see things in films that i had missed previously.
same here
Bender master
Are you going to do the mark cousins intros?
@@jonny8908 will have look
i find cox ,ugly but moviedrome was always great!
He invited you to listen to him not shag him.
