Prefer low-key movies of past to the CGI-bombastic blockbusters? Looking for a string of golden oldies to binge on? Let TV comedian and classic film fanatic Vic Reeves point you to six of the best forgotten gems <\/p>\n
The Flying Deuces (1939) <\/p>\n
Laurel and Hardy join the French Foreign Legion to forget Ollies spurned marriage proposal. Fine business with smelling salts, mangle and biplane. <\/p>\n
Woman in A Dressing Gown (1957) <\/p>\n
Classy British kitchen-sink drama pivoting around a torrid domestic love triangle. Yvonne Mitchell shines as the put-upon wife. <\/p>\n
Saturday Night And Sunday Morning (1960) <\/p>\n
Vics favourite film: Albert Finneys working-class everybloke maintains a precarious work\/hedonism balance when responsibility rears its ugly head. <\/p>\n
Whistle Down The Wind (1961) <\/p>\n
A childrens favourite with Christian allegories from director Bryan Forbes: three kids hide fugitive Alan Bates in a barn, believing him to be Jesus. <\/p>\n
Hell Drivers (1957) <\/p>\n
DEATH IS AT EVERY BEND! screams the trailer for this punchy tyre-screecher from Zulu director Cy Endfield, with Stanley Baker as a newly recruited extreme trucker. <\/p>\n
Villain (1971) <\/p>\n
A less-typical colour choice, this thriller (left) has Richard Burton struggling with a cockney accent as a bisexual gangster. Written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (Porridge) with Godfather actor Al Lettieri. <\/p>\n
