Outside of the original trilogy, the films of the Star Wars universe polarise fans like the rift between the light and dark side of The Force.

As British kids growing up on council estates, for many of us our life was parkas and grass-stained shirts, BMX rides, sherbet dabs and jawbreakers.

It was a world away from the impossibly glamorous teenagers of The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink and Ferris Buller's Day Off. But, these comedies gave kids the sense that someone in Hollywood was making movies about them.

So, in this week's wonderful article, Lee Adams takes a look back at the films of John Hughes.

Back in November 2020 we were excited to report that Disney had started development of a sequel to George Lucas’ magical fantasy “Willow”.

You can find that and a link to over 140 of  Plumb's filmed interviews here...

England’s women’s football team are through to the final of Euro 22, showing passion, belief and a swashbuckling style that is restoring many people’s faith in the national game.

In celebration, Lee Adams has put together his list of cinematic female badasses.

Come on you Lionesses!

What does a film-maker do when the technology to create his film does not exist? Well, if you are George Lucas, you invent it.
