Posterized: BAFTA Honoree Alan Parker
Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 10:00PM Director Alan Parker, who our youngest readers will probably beunfamiliar with, used to be a prestige director. He's been retired for ten years but his taste in material was quite awards-baity. He's receiving the BAFTA Fellowhip (aka career tribute) in February at the BAFTA ceremony. Because the BAFTAs aren't aired live and weirdly only ever broadcast parts of that show who knows if we'll see it.
So I thought we should look back at his career through Posterized. (We haven't done one of those in a while!)
How many have you seen?
Bugsy Malone (76), Midnight Express (78), Fame (80)
Three arguable classics right off the bat? And 11 more movies after the jump
