Hi all
I have a pristine copy of the Dead Mans shoes Graphics novel, and was thinking about selling it as a package with the DMS Blu Ray and Somers town Blu ray.
Have you any idead what it would be worth? I know one is going for £75 on Amazon (Ridiculous if you ask me!) but they are rare so it could fetch quite a bit.
cheers

Question 1, To put it simply, it can't be put into words. It's a feeling. Say, did you like The Devil's Backbone?? That's a brilliant answer to my question. You're right, it is a feeling. As for the Devils Backbone, I've not saw it yet, but I've just ordered it off the internet. Is it any good? Cheers

I prefer Break Dance 2: Electric Boogaloo to the Orphanage. It has a much stronger plot Hmmmmmmmmmm

Hi Everybody
Firstly, let me say a big hello to you all as it's my first thread, and also let me say that Dead Man's Shoes is my favourite film of all time.
Everything about this film is totally unbelievable. The setting, the story, the characters, the acting, the atmosphere and last, but definitely not least, the brilliant music, make it THE perfect film for me.
I was told about DMS by Gary Stretch's mum. She mentioned that he was playing this gangster (her words, not mine) in a british film and it was called Dead man something or other, so naturally, I forgot all about it. However, when i was flicking through the sky channels one night, the scene with Richard in the gas mask banging on the door was on, and it had me hooked. I watched it, and it left me with a feeling I've never felt after watching a film. Shock, awe... I don't know what it was, but it made me go out the next day and hunt the film down.
I now own 2 copies on DVD, the soundtrack (Both CD format AND bought on itunes!) and my lovely wife got me the Blu ray for Xmas!!!! I also own a copy of the limited print Comic book that I would LOVE to have signed by cast members.
Well, back to my thread title.
Question1: I would love to know what people think makes this film so bloody good? I have all Shane's work on DVD, and I love Romeo Brass and This is England, but Dead Man's Shoes seems to have a certain "something" that those don't!!! Does anyone agree? Just exactly what is the "it" that DMS has?
Question 2: My other 2 favourite films are The Orphanage and Pan's Labyrinth. Those films are totally stunning pieces of cinema, and the Orphanage in particular is the only film that reduced me to tears at the end. Both are spanish, and both involve Guilermo Del Toro in some shape or form.
What I want to know is, has anyone on this forum (Shane in particular) saw these films and if so, what did they think of them?
Cheers
