Now that the World Snooker Championship has finished in Sheffield, I have started to rewatch afternoon films once again. There is so much to choose from the collection of films, the first four were most enjoyable:

Forbidden Planet (1956)
The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)
Master And Commander - Far SIde of The World (2003)
The Adventure of Robin Hood (1938)

His story about the trapped man, captures the publics imagination, and people start flooding into the area from all over the country.
