I recorded the Sting the other day. When I replayed it, I discovered that I have never watched it from the start. I must have watched it when it came on by chance on late-night TV and always started about the 10 minute mark and never noticed this oversight.

One of the joys of growing up when I did was being part of the first generation to have old movies on TV. Black-and-white classics you could stumble across on late night TV.
Casablanca is a case in point. I first watched it at about the age of 13 – it was okay. I then watched it at the Friday night flicks at uni and regarded it as one of the greatest films I ever saw. This was in part because I have watched it before and therefore the 2nd time I did I paid more attention to the absolutely scintillating dialogue.
