[Very Strange Movies]

Strange, and bad. After the glories of "If" and "O Lucky Man", Lindsay Anderson's trilogy really hit rock bottom with "Britannia Hospital" [1982]. Despite a stellar cast and a decent soundtrack by the talented Alan Price, the screenplay by David Sherwin was a political manifesto, not entertainment.

 

Strange and good: Peter Greenaway's bizarrely magnificent "The Draughtsman's Contract" [also 1982, oddly enough].

[Anachronisms in film.]

I'm sure this topic has been covered before, but I just signed up whilst watching "The Great Garrick" on TCM. Garrick is on his way to Paris in a coach and passes a sign reading: "Paris: 160 kilometers". Problem is, he died in 1779, and kilometers were introduced by the National Convention in 1793. Any other obscure [i.e. not The Godfather, not Star Wars] whoppers out there?
