- And Now For Something Completely Similar: Henry V (1989)For the month of July, Brendan and Jason explore movies that are somehow connected to the ones they've previously covered on the BFI Top 100. And now... for something completely similar...For this flick, the guys cover another Shakespeare adaptation with Kenneth Branagh's 1989 version of Henry V. As you may remember, the Laurence Olivier version is ranked #18 on the BFI Top 100 while this one is nowhere to be found so there is some hot debate on that issue, they discuss the major differences in what this version does NOT omit unlike Olivier's wartime propaganda film, there is a major debate between cultural importance versus quality of a film and much, much more.Next week: Brendan and Jason continue this July mini-series with the 2002 mini-series version of Doctor Zhivago (the original David Lean film is #27 on the BFI Top 100)Full List: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFI_Top_100_British_filmsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/forscreenandcountryTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/bfi_podOur logo was designed by the wonderful Mariah Lirette (https://www.instagram.com/mariahhx)For Screen and Country is sponsored by Podcoin (use the promo code "SCREENPOD" when you sign up and receive 300 BONUS podcoins).

1 hr 8 min - Women in Love (#87)
DONGS-OUT FILMMAKING!

Next week: A new 6-part series begins on the show called "And Now For Something Completely Similar" in which our hosts go through some remakes/sequels of some of the films they've covered during the first fifth of the show. It begins with the 2015 TV adaptation of The Go-Between.
