Sitting in the doctor's office yesterday, I got into a conversation about movies. When the topic of favorite shows came up, I mentioned "Flickers" as my all-time favorite series. To check the date (and show off my neat PDA), I got onto the internet and discovered that after 25 years this show had FINALLY been issued in April! Vy vas I not informed!
I placed my order on Amazon tonight, even though I am a Netflix subscriber. This is a keeper. Plus I get to toss my old off-the-air VHS tape.
No need to rehash the plot as it's been well described by others. I guarantee that anyone who ever enjoyed a Britcom will love this, as will anyone who likes a totally pleasant, funny, warm, off-beat love story. Or likes Bob Hoskins. It will make you a Frances De La Tour fan as well, though she has has few entries in her filmography; her latest role is the giantess Madam Maxime in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." I almost plotzed* when I saw her!
Buy it!
*Literal meaning: Dropped dead. Yiddish is funnier, see?

Discovering that Flickers is available on DVD was the high point of the day. Just the day before my friends were lamenting that this wonderful series had never been made available to the public. It was my first introduction to that wonderful actor Bob Hoskins, although the entire cast was wonderful.
This is one of the best blends of sheer comedy combined with touching romance as two totally mismatched people forced together by circumstances learn to cherish each other. Don't miss this one.

I have been in love with this off-beat, quirky and passionate story since it first aired on Great Performances 26 years ago. I have waited patiently all this time for it's release and finally here it is. It should delight a whole new generation of viewers, and thrill it's long-time fans. Look for the little silent moments between characters for pure magic!

Hoskins and De La Tour - a classic, hilarious pairing of two superb actors. Loved the story, loved Arnie, loved Maude. When my DVD arrives I'm having a Flickers marathon party, it will be champagne and snacky things, a comfy seat and my eyes will be glued to the screen. I guarantee I won't be able to stop myself watching the whole darn thing from start to finish.

i'm thrilled to finally be able to see this series again. everything about it is first rate--the story, the performances, the dialogue, the sets, the costumes, everything is wonderful. i never understood why it wasn't released on tape, but, at long, long last, it has been released.
if you admire great acting, watch this series, then watch the movie 'the long good friday.' bob hoskins will amaze you--his range is fantastic.
the rest of this cast is also superb. frances de la tour's comic timing is a joy to watch.
if you didn't see it on pbs, buy, rent, steal the dvd's. you'll be in for a real treat.
