Any BBC Lion Witch Wardrobe fans?

I didn't realise how much of a cult classic these BBC films were in Britain man!!

Whoever I talk to, whether they like teen-pop and chick flicks, or gory horrors and emo or prefer a good book and a bit of classical, or are more into their sports - they've all seen these - and liked em!!! Its amazing!!
 
British Broadcasting Company. Its the main TV channel company here in Britain. They made some low budget, made-for-TV, Narnia films about 15 years ago...
 
Well, those books were faithful to the movie, they didn't leave anything essential out. When crap like the Harry Potter misinterpretations is coming out of theaters these days, one shouldn't wonder. I loved those movies, too. I hope the new ones aren't bad.
 
i love them too ! YAY!
allthough i DID NOT love Prince Caspian,in my view it went far off from the book nd the actors all seemed to be having their 'bad acting day' the whole time. only Lucy and Aslan gave any light ,and even they weren't at their best!

But I absolutelly adore the Silver Chair BBC video! it's so... real! they did a brilliant job , even with the MINISCULE budget! It really helped me visualise the two children ( realise how wrong that sounds and i do not wish to put down C.S.Lewis) . they also did a pretty good job of the Dawn Treader. the actual ship was great. also Prince Caspian was pretty good (actuelly VERY good.)
sorry this is so long.
thanx±
no really!

Yes i was very happy with that part of the BBc's. Following the book very closeley was superbly done in the BBC's.

Like in the animated were a few changes and what not, but i didnt mind its my fave LWW of the old versions so far.
lol jasonc65- you made me laugh when you said "When crap like the Harry Potter misinterpretations is coming out of theaters these days, one shouldn't wonder". Lol heee heeeeeeeeeeeeee. :p
 
I seen the BBC live ones. The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe(When I was in 5th grade), then I rewatched it about 2 years ago, then took out the Silver Chair, Voyage of Dawn treader. I loved both. They only had the three at library I lived near so I only got to see those three. I keep looking for them though.

::raises hand:: me me me me me! sorry, but i'm a huuuuge fan of the bbc versions. i could probably quote them in their entireties (is that a word?) from the word 'go'...i grew up with them, & i still have the taped-off-tv ones from when they first aired

i agree 100%...just last month i watched the bbc lww again & then immediately reread the book & i was amazed how faithful they were to it! i also agree about harry potter...my heart sank when i found out how much material they chopped out for the latest movie :mad:
 
I so loved the BBC version

When I was younger I used to read the books and then came the bbc version and it was like wow. I was disapointed in the film because i had seen the bbc version first. I know the first paragraph

:D Once there were four children whose names were perter, susan edmund and lucy. They were sent away from london during the war because of the air raids. They were sent to the house of an old professor who lived in the heart of the country, 10 miles away from the nearest railway station and two miles from the nearest post office. :D

Yes thats sad but guess what I Dont Care!

Peter was nice in those films!
 
According to my mom I would ask her to rent these every other week. But I haven't watched them fully since I was about 6, so just about 12 years. Though my friend owns them on DVD and we plan on watching them soon. I watched a little bit of Dawn Treader last week and I laughed so hard when I saw Reepicheep. Still the BBC versions are loyal to the books and nothing makes me happier than when a movie stays true to the book.
 
The BBC are very utmost loyal the The Chronicles that they did make into a movie.

I laughed aswell with some of the costumes especially in VDT Reep looked absoutely hilarious! And there clothes made me laugh also :D :p


But they were very good with following the books, i would have liked to see them make The Horse and His Boy that would make me laugh so hard. Lol
Does anyone know why they stopped at The Silver Chair?
I havent seen the BBC version of The Silver Chair, I have only seen The Lion the witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the DawnTreader, i hopefully will see the Silver Chair soon enought i really laugh b/c i saw how they did Puddleglum for it heee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:)lol
 
help!

i just picked up the dvd boxed set and i've heard there is a reunion clip somewhere on one of the discs (i'm afraid my vcr will eat my videos!)...is anyone else familiar with that...it's all just nostalgia and a wild goose chase...just looking for johnathan r. scott...edmund has always been my favorite (book or movies)...
 
I have seen the BBC version and the 1970's version. I liked both of them , I saw one of them on dvd at Walmart the other day for only $11. 95! I should of bought it, but, bought something else instead.
