Last night I watched Small Faces (1996). It’s pretty good. One of the films from the BFI Top 100 British Films list. It’s one of the films in that genre about how awful it is to live in Glasgow. So, it's not a biopic of the rock band? Darn!

Don't believe I heard of this one till now. I see it's about street kids, gangs, something like that? I'm not usually interested in movies featuring child protagonists because I find they're usually done so badly, with the kids performing the verbal tricks and body language of miniature adults. But there are exceptions so I'll keep this one in mind when I get to 1996 in my 90s viewing.

Remember all of these films, from 1986?
Don't feel bad, if you don't.....many were never made. There are promos for a Spider-Man film (pre-Cameron, who didn't come into it until a bit later) and Captain America, with The Last Starfighter's theme music played over the promo. The Christopher Reeve film, Street Smart, got made so he would sign to do Superman IV. The Dolly Dots was an actual Dutch band and that film got made, but not the plot described. It did modest business in Holland but was not released to US theaters, because of horrible reviews. One of the band members voiced Donald Duck, in Dutch dubbings of the cartoons.
Not surprisingly, the Dustin Hoffman film never happened.

Today I’m watching Encounters at the End of the World (2008), Werner Herzog’s documentary about Antarctica.
