Omega Man was a good one. More modern .... how about 'V for Vendetta' .. ?Originally Posted by Jeff
That film fascinates me on a number of levels. One being that it IS an American film, but I'd defy anyone to believe it is, from its content !!. Based in London (a future fictional version), of course I recognise and have visited the locations you see in the film.
For anyone choosing to view it ... one fact is 'The Strand' underground station .. is not, in real life, called that at all. Disused as from the mid-Nineties (I was one of the relative few who travelled on its last ever commercially-run train ride) .... it was only called 'The Strand' when it was first built. For almost all its life, its real name was 'The Aldwych'.
It doesn't appear on maps issued in this century, but is kept nominally operational for film shots ....
V for Vendetta stars Natalie Portman ... in the film, her character of Evie Hammond has a semi-convincing British accent ...
