Light of the Navigator.

A fast jet ace finds himself in hot water after being spotted sparking up a ciggie with his lucky zippo, within fifty yards of a fuel bowser.
 


12 Years A Slav

In 1980, just divorced, and consequently a free man, Hardy Willis, misses his flight out of Belgrade due to inadvertently picking up the wrong briefcase at the airport. Crossing the road on his way back to his hotel he looks right instead of left and is hit by a truck. He suffers facial injuries so severe that it was hard to see any familiarity with the photo in his passport.

Disoriented, Hardy agrees that surgeons reconstruct his face so that he once again looks like his passport photo. The procedure is a success but Hardy falls into a coma. For the next 12 years Marko Spenza (Hardy's Slav name) lies blissfully unaware of the tender care his apparent wife, Azda, administers to him, and also of the fact that the real Marko Spenza suffered similar injuries to himself in another accident and is lying in another ward looking like the passport photo of Hardy Willis.

1n 1993, Hardy/Marko awakes to find himself not in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, but Belgrade, Bosnia, unaware that for 12 of the last 13 years he has been a Slav.

To be continued....

This should come with a spoiler alert...
 
The Count of Monte Cristo

A French nobleman displays extremely bad behaviour and annoys everybody (you know which letter has to golol)
I am only now reading from page one but, funnily enough, I made the same joke to a friend yesterday after I told him I might be unrecognisable when I next see him as I have taken to dressing as characters from the novels of Alexandre Dumas and smoking Cuban cigars. He knew who to look out for!
 
30: The Other Battle of Thermopylae - In 997, the Bulgarian Tsar Samuel invaded Greece and advanced as far as the Peloponnese. On his return, he was met by a Byzantine army under Nikephoros Ouranos at Spercheios. As the river was flooded, both sides encamped on opposite sides without action. Confident that the Byzantines could not cross the river, the Bulgarians relaxed their guard and were taken by surprise when Byzantine scouts discovered a ford further upriver.

Directed by Werner Herzog
