Written on March 18, 2018

When I was younger, I used to spend a lot of my life alone in a studio with one of those tiny little 15cm TVs you wouldn't be caught dead with nowadays, plugged in to a VCR player, and exactly three movies on VHS. One of those three movies (the best of those three) was _Bedknobs and Broomsticks_. I watched it multiple times a day, every day, for months at a time. A period piece musical that saw orphans and their witch-friend get an army of sentient suits of armour to fight the Nazis... Is it any bloody wonder I turned out the way I did?

Great movie though. Wouldn't kill me to see a remake with modern technology. So long as it kept the vibe and setting of the original.

_Final rating:★★★★ - Very strong appeal. A personal favourite._
