60 of 98 · most liked firstRIP Charles Kay A wonderful character actor who had an illustrious career in tv, film & theatre for over 40 years. I loved him, and Ian McNeice, as droll government agents Pendleton & Harcourt in Edge of Darkness, the brilliant BBC eco-thriller. They were a great double act. If you can, watch it.
positive · AI labelView post →Some film series include Brideshead Revisited, Edge of Darkness, Robin of Sherwood, Inspector Morse or The Sweeney. 7/
neutral · AI labelView post →Wow. @tcmtv.bsky.social continues to beat the drum. Just a few minutes ago, EDGE OF DARKNESS started... a brutal film about the occupation/resistance in Norway, starring Errol Flynn, directed by the great Lewis Milestone. It's on my list of "films made when the outcome of WW2 was still uncertain."
neutral · AI labelView post →Remembering Ann Sheridan, born on today's date in 1915. She was fabulous in every film she was in; some of my favorites are Nora Prentiss, Kings Row, They Drive By Night, and Edge of Darkness. What about you?
neutral · AI labelView post →One movie a day for 365 days. 88/365: Edge of Darkness. Flynn and Sheridan lead the Norwegian resistance in a small fishermen's village against the Nazis. Both stars step back in favor of serious, compelling drama: actors embodying human beings. No oncoming cavalry here.

neutral · AI labelView post →Post-Casino Royale, I’d say the only ones that have anything are Edge of Darkness which works best hungover on the couch with commercial breaks and that Maggie Q movie is almost something. There are people who’ll tell you the Foreigner is good and you shouldn’t listen to them
neutral · AI labelView post →Here for EDGE OF DARKNESS, a fantastic film about resistance. I love how badass Ann Sheridan’s character is. #TCMParty #EdgeOfDarkness

neutral · AI labelView post →I was excited to see CLEANER, because it's directed by the great Martin Campbell (GOLDENEYE, CASINO ROYALE, THE MASK OF ZORRO, NO ESCAPE, EDGE OF DARKNESS...). And the film has a couple of nifty action scenes, but it... could have been better. www.vulture.com/article/revi...
neutral · AI labelView post →the big starting point is EDGE OF DARKNESS - the 1980s original, not the bad Mel Gibson movie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_of... then A VERY BRITISH COUP, and THE SANDBAGGERS.
neutral · AI labelView post →We must add Edge of Darkness to the list. Just because no one else remembers the film doesn’t mean we should forget (or forgive).
positive · AI labelView post →It does! Which opens up the opportunity to remind people who haven't seen Edge of Darkness (the real thing, not the pointless and unwelcome Hollywood movie version), on of the greatest TV dramas of the last 50 years, it;s currently here for you on iPlayer www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

neutral · AI labelView post →He directed the - and I cannot stress the next two letters enough, I do not mean the movie - TV Edge of Darkness, which is probably the best television made in the 1980s.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched Edge of Darkness (series), and I watched Edge of Darkness (film). In the film, Mel Gibson's Craven doesn't find the vibrator. And that's the problem. There's none of those odd unexpected moments in the film. They ruined it & turned it into a great thriller...
neutral · AI labelView post →Best Resistance Film ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿Edge of Darkness * 1943 A small Norwegian town fights back against Nazi occupiers in the face of fear and indecision. A memorable cast reflects the motivations that lead to a decisive battle. #resist #birthday #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →You should hunt a copy of the TV version of 'Edge of Darkness' (not the inferior movie adaptation). I am not fucking kidding when I say it is one of the best BBC dramas of all time, and still stands up forty years on.

neutral · AI labelView post →i remember some fifteen ago, the first time i watched Edge of Darkness (the '80s series directed by Martin Campbell, not the 2010 movie adaptation directed by Martin Campbell), when Joe Don Baker showed up and was instantly among the most compelling and menacing characters i'd ever seen

neutral · AI labelView post →WOW! I just watched a movie last week (Turner Classic Movies were having a day of anti-Nazi movies, maybe anti-current regime? 😏) and showed Edge Of Darkness about the Norwegian resistance in the town of Trollnes. They kept calling the spies or Nazi sympathizers, “ Quislings” - now I know! 😱

neutral · AI labelView post →Edge of Darkness (1943, directed by Lewis Milestone). For some reason, it felt like the right time to watch a film about the people of an Arctic country fighting back against fascist occupiers… Gowns by Orry-Kelly.
neutral · AI labelView post →The best thing about the movie was Jason Bateman, and he was way short of Marc Warren. State of Play is magnificent. Up there with Edge Of Darkness.
positive · AI labelView post →Had downloaded all six episodes of the excellent Bob Peck BBC series Edge of Darkness ages ago, but only just gotten round to watching them. Way better than the movie starring Mel Gibson and Ray Winstone...
positive · AI labelView post →The scene with Craig and Green bloodied in the shower is the most emotionally real scene in a Bond movie. There’s a similarly queasy scene in Campbell’s miniseries “Edge of Darkness”
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching EDGE OF DARKNESS (1943) last night (superb film about Nazis' brutal invasion of Norway, with sickeningly eerie ICE-rhymes), and my wife asked, 'Do young people today in US really get why Nazis were evil?' Legit, disturbing question, and perhaps our problem.

neutral · AI labelView post →It is unnerving to watch movies about the fight against the Nazis in WWII and see parallels to the world we find ourselves in today. Such a movie is 1943's "Edge of Darkness". My thoughts: placelogohere.com/movie-edge-o... #filmsky #movies #filmnoir

neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished watching "Edge Of Darkness" on TCM, a WW2 film wherein Nazis try to take over a small fishing village in Norway. They're stopped through the actions of every single person in the town, lead by Errol Flynn. The Democrats need an Errol Flynn right now.
positive · AI labelView post →TCM is showing "Edge of Darkness" a movie about how a Norwegian fishing village resists the Nazis. The scene I just saw, of the older man getting abused by the Nazis, seemed a little too on point today. www.imdb.com/title/tt0034...
neutral · AI labelView post →TCM supports democracy-loving Americans today. So far they have run Confessions of a Nazi Spy, The Mortal Storm (a very appropriate film for these times), and right now Chaplin's masterpiece, The Great Dictator. Coming up are The Seventh Cross, Edge of Darkness, and Background To Danger.

I don't believe in coincidence.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie: Edge Of Darkness. WWII era movie about a Norwegian town that rises up against Nazi occupation. I haven’t seen this one in ages. Love the way it builds a whole community.
positive · AI labelView post →Did you ever see the British miniseries Edge of Darkness? The US remade it into a passable movie starring Mel Gibson, but the UK version is the one. I think of it all the time when i hear of experiences like your family’s.
positive · AI labelView post →This isn't the only anti-Nazi film from Warners. There were many. TCM has been airing them regularly for the past year and a half. They just aired Edge of Darkness (1943) on Saturday.
neutral · AI labelView post →Errol Flynn, 6/20/1909--10/14/1959, here with Ann Sheridan in an underrated gem of a movie, "Edge of Darkness" (1943).
positive · AI labelView post →Son's fave film. Hoping to persuade him to watch Edge of Darkness, in which the brilliant Troy Kennedy Martin smashed genres with equal success
neutral · AI labelView post →In the series of things I meant to watch years ago but never did, I watched The Constant Gardener last night. Was good. Hints of Edge of Darkness about it. Didn’t have the unhinged element of that but pretty bleak nonetheless. More film reviews as I have them.
neutral · AI labelView post →2) It's set in 1992, and sees ordinary working people grappling with the Cold War's deadly legacies. In movie/TV terms, it's very clearly influenced by Session 9, Edge of Darkness (the series, not the awful film), Death Line, and The Girl With All the Gifts.
neutral · AI labelView post →It was thirteen years of grafting at the TV and grumble coalface before that and acclaimed as it is, Edge of Darkness was still just a British telly series, not a Hollywood film. He'd only done three Hollywood feature films between EoD and Goldeneye, all of them consigned to DTV obscurity.
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy 75th Birthday to Ian McNeice. English film and television actor. On television, he has played government agent Harcourt in the 1985 television series Edge of Darkness, Bert Large in the comedy-drama Doc Martin, the Newsreader in historical drama Rome, and Winston Churchill in Doctor Who.
neutral · AI labelView post →Drama that is repeatable is often down to production considerations. You can reshow Tinker Tailor and Edge of Darkness and the Ghost Stories For Christmas because drama=film. And you can reshow The Good Life and Dads Army, because we accept comedy has studio VT in it.
neutral · AI labelView post →That seems to be the lesson of Edge of Darkness. But like the old doctor in that movie, and like John Brown in reality, someone has to get the MFing ball rolling. I'd ask who the leader is in this cluster fuck, but I guess a real leader is underground. And so we wait. Too long?
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching 'Edge of Darkness' again. It could make a wonderful thriller film too, but dear lord the Mel Gibson version isn't it.
negative · AI labelView post →Just a reminder the “Edge of Darkness” movie came out in 2010.. A period when anybody with a brain was not taking what Fox News said seriously… the Mel Gibson character might as well sent the evidence to “The Weekly World News”.
