I was made aware of the film "Derailed" (Clive Owen, 2005) and thought it could be a film made about most of our threads (couldn't it Mr Orcs?)- though why threads are derailed and not de-threaded I'll never know.

I pondered then (because I have no life) what other films would be suitable for showing at Pendraken Film Club?

"A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum" (1966, Zero Mostel)
"Techno" (2014, short, Azia Akazim)
"Orcs!" (2011, Michael Todd Behrens)
"Salon Kitty" (1976, Helmut Berger)
"Leon" (1994, Jean Reno)
"Dave" (1993, Kevin Kline)
"Dark Lord: The Musical" (2015) (yes it is, look it up!)

"Paint your wagon" (1969, Lee Marvin)
"Toy Soldiers" (1991, Wil Wheaton)
"The Green Man" (1990, Albert Finney")
"Take the Lead" (2006, Antonio Banderas")

"The Aztec Mummy Against the Humanoid Robot" (1958, Ramón Gay) (I just loved the title)

"The Girl With the Dragoon Tattoo" (2011, Rooney Mara)
"Wild, Wild Westmarcher" (1999, Kevin Kline)

There is a film called Fate Stay Night (or FSN for short) where there is a war going on between masters and servants in order to attain the Holy Grail.
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!
