Hey guys! A slight change to this bank holiday weekend’s schedule with the usual guff sandwiching three films: join us as “The Ruling Class” ruin our afternoon; popcorn classic “Oh, God!” fouls our teatime; and “The Brother From Another Planet” pops over to improve our evening.

The fun starts at 3pm.

18:25 – Oh, God! (1977)
Oh, God! is a 1977 movie starring George Burns and John Denver. It is widely regarded as one of the biggest popcorn classics of the 1970s. It was filmed in a variety of interesting locations around the United States city of Los Angeles. Many of these can be viewed via Gregg Turkington’s acclaimed On Cinema On Location segment.
(Based on the 1971 novel of the same name by Avery Corman, the film was directed by Carl Reiner from a screenplay written by Larry Gelbart. The story centers on unassuming supermarket manager Jerry Landers (Denver), who is chosen by God (Burns) to spread his message, despite skepticism of the media, religious authorities, and his own wife (Teri Garr). The film spawned two sequels…)

“When you’ve got movies like George Burns in them, you can’t lose!”
