Have you seen When Saturday Comes? I would say that only the keenest Bean fan would like that.
But I did get a new appreciation for him after watching the films, as he put in one of the best performances, and previously I just thought of him as a TV actor who occasionally got a good role! He's also in Equilibrium by the way, in a small role though.
I always loved Chris Lee, right from when I was a child and I'd watch the old horror films with my dad, but seeing him in LotR made me remember how good an actor he is and I went and got a new copy of his best film (The Wicker Man).
I think the films also enabled me to shake off the image of Bernard Hill as Yosser Hughes, well, just a little bit anyway.
One thing I hadn't thought about is that the films actually got me into enjoying going to the cinema again. I proved to myself that I could sit still for three hours without smoking, but I still don;t like a busy screening!
