For the If/Malcolm fans


I'm a big fan of a lot of Malcolm's work including this movie and I've been wanting to make a forum for him for other fans like myself to use to chat about his movies and such. I tried to make one before but I had a hard time getting people to use it or visit it. I was thinking some of you might be interested? Your thoughts?

Good enough idea but I'm happy to use this site for the few times I may wish to comment on If.... or any of the thespians therein.

As much as I love this film, I think it's not big enough by itself to support a discussion board of its own.

The biggest discussion board I've ever belonged to was devoted to James Bond films, past and present, and all aspects pertaining to the films and the books. Mick Travis doesn't have that kind of pull... But it might be possible to do a discussion board about Swinging London in the 60s with films like If..., Blow Up, Kes, Darling, etc. plus other films featuring British talent of the era, like John Schlesinger or Terence Stamp.

Kes?

Well, I sorta lumped it in there for convenience, the way a lot of critics like to lump Antonioni in with La Nouvelle Vague. :D

Sure, i would be interested.

Kramer: ...he was very impressed with what I do.
Elaine: What you do? You don't do anything!
