	Empty Mirror: If...
		Britannia Hospital received a poor critical and public response; the fact that it appeared at Cannes just as the Falklands War broke out, and new patriotism and national spirit appeared, can have done the film little good.
		The transition from If to Britannia Hospital is a shocking one; there is none of the magic, of the sense of possibility of the earlier film.
		The nearest film to Britannia Hospital (1982) in its mood would be Jarman's The Last of England, a film dramatically different in almost every way in its form and construction.

	MAS*H (1970)
		What made MASH — the movie — cutting-edge and earned it a place on the American Film* Institute's roster of 100 Greatest Movies was its dicey combination of operating-room graphics and understated, irreverent humor.
		More than the cast, though, or the revelation that the familiar theme song actually has words (written, we learn in one of the commentaries, by Altman's 13-year-old son, who made more money from his royalties than Dad did on the entire movie), newcomers to the film version will be surprised by the tone and pacing.
		Altman deliberately kept the low-budget film well under the ceiling because he didn't want the studio noticing what he was up to, which was making an anti-war movie at a time when America was bitterly divided over a still-in-progress Vietnam War.

	MAS*H Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		But in director Robert Altman's landmark 1970 film about a mobile army surgical hospital, Donald Sutherland played the irrepressible Pierce, while Elliott Gould handled Wayne Rogers' role as surgical hotshot "Trapper John" McIntyre.
		More than the cast, though, or the revelation that the familiar theme song actually has words (written, we learn in one of the commentaries, by Altman's 13-year-old son, who made more money from his royalties than Dad did on the entire movie), newcomers to the film version will be surprised by the tone and pacing.
		But audiences still got the picture, and MASH became the first anti-war film* to attack a war still going on — which was why the film was banned on U.S. military installations until producer Ingo Preminger threatened to take the U.S. Department of Defense to court.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Halloween II at Epinions.com
		Surprisingly empty on Halloween night, the hospital is run by doctors and interns who, in the tradition of modern horror film victims, have a tendency to be in the wrong places at the wrong times.
		In particular, the chase scene through the hospital corridors in which Curtis, hobbling from her wounds and the anesthesia she had to take after first entering the hospital and unable to totally outrun the Shape, is atmospheric and suspenseful, and closely mirrors the similarly paced chase scene that concludes Michael Crichton's 1973 sci-fi classic WESTWORLD.
		Best of all is the usual excellent cinematography from Dean Cundey, who worked on the original film and would later go on to JURASSIC PARK and APOLLO 13.

	THE COLD SPOT \ Movies \ Session 9
		The ending of the film, while not entirely satisfying, is commendable in the way it leaves a lot of room for interpretation as to who did what, why they did it, and how much of an effect the hospital had on them.
		The dialogue, which never sounds overly expository, offers us hints at the hospital's well-meaning but disturbing past; tales of misguided attempts at advanced therapy as late as the 1980s are just enough to solidify the tone.
		In fact, everything in the film is meant to advance the plot while twisting the atmosphere, from little set details like the meathooks in the kitchen to a subplot about old coins that reaches a horrifying climax.

	Nexus - In Person: Janette Turner Hospital
		Ian's guest is Australian writer Janette Turner Hospital, who also happens to be a Professor of English literature based in the United States.
		Interesting that you say that because just yesterday I had breakfast with someone from the South Australian Film Corporation and there is a film offer in on this, and it involves an Australian American co-production.
		But I don't hold my breath about these things because every one of my novels has been optioned for film and none has ever made it to the first day of shooting.

	Amazon.com: Video: MAS*H (Special Edition) (1970)
		But no one seeing MASH in 1970 confused the film* for anything but a caustic comment on the Vietnam War; this is one of the counterculture movies that exploded into the mainstream at the end of the '60s.
		This film was produced at a time when other countercultural books and movies regularly relied on Christian imagery (_Cool Hand Luke_, _One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest_, _The Omega Man_) to turn their central heroes/antiheroes into savior-figures.
		The tone of the film is wilder than in the TV series, of the original movie cast only Gargy Burghoff (Radar) went on to star in the Tv version.

		At a hospital, as Harry is administered treatment by a black intern - he divulges that he has been wounded before in his "line of work," and that his life has suffered a personal tragedy - the death of his wife.
		Countless other cop-action films have been made to copy this original law-and-order film that was one of the first to appear on movie screens.

		The National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales holds a number of films from the First World War era, the most notable being the recently discovered film 'The Life Story of David Lloyd George' completed in 1918, the same year as the 'The Opening of the Prince of Wales Hospital'.
		However, the two aspects of the film, one made to commemorate the moment and publicise the work of the hospital, the other, a technical demonstration possibly made as part of the medical work of the hospital, both illustrate how moving images have been used in the past by institutions such as this.

	Leonard Rossiter.com: Britannia Hospital
		Britannia Hospital is the third in a trilogy of films by director Lindsay Anderson relating contemporary British society.
		Although the film's interior scenes were filmed at studios in Wembley, London, the exterior shots - of which there were many - were filmed at Barnet Frier Hospital, New Southgate, north of London.
		Britannia Hospital is the blackest of black comedies, a bleak metaphor for British society in the early 1980s, an allegory of Thatcherism.

		The film opens with a shot of an elderly Arab man in a hospital with a bandaged hand and foot.
		To that end, the film is now being widely circulated on American campuses.

	The DVD Journal Quick Reviews: Britannia Hospital
		More anarchical than Paddy Chayevsky's Hospital and with something of the darkness of Lars von Trier's later The Kingdom, Britannia Hospital, which uses a day in the life of a hospital to critique contemporary Britain, continues in the spirit of the two earlier Mick Travis films, inserting unannounced fantasias into semi-realistic settings.
		The style of the film is for the most part stylized or exaggerated satire, and this kind of satire — while often acceptable in Monty Python — seemed to strike viewers and critics at the time as excessive and off-key.
		The story concerns Mick's new job as an investigative TV journalist infiltrating Britannia Hospital on the day the Queen is visiting.

	Amazon.com: Britannia Hospital (1982): DVD
		Britannia Hospital, an allegory for what was transpiring in England at the time, was released in 1982, and is the final part of Lindsay Anderson' brilliant trilogy of films that follow the adventures of Mick Travers as he travels through a strange and sometimes surreal Britain.
		Britannia Hospital also proved to be one of the last decent films Malcolm McDowell was to appear in.
		Britannia Hospital is the final film in the acclaimed Mick Travis trilogy from director Lindsay Anderson and writer David Sherwin, Alan Bates, Robbie Coltrane, Richard Griffiths, Joan Plowright, Robin Askwith and Mark Hamill lead an eclectic all-star cast in the biting black comedy that also features original music by Alan Price.

	Epinions.com - thevoid99's Classic Films # 1: Secretary (Pt. 1)
		Even as the film begins where she gets out of the mental hospital, in her voiceover, she admits to feeling reluctant coming out of the hospital.
		On the surface, they seem to be a great family with a very perfect daughter (played by Amy Locane in the film, yet we don’t really know much about her in the movie at all, which in some extent is a shame) who had just gotten married and was starting a perfect life.
		After reading it thoroughly and placing mental pictures of the film, I realized that one element I did overlook and wasn’t entirely aware of was the act of feminism in the film.

	Times Square (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Times Square was since rediscovered after its initial commercial failure and has become a cult classic and a staple at gay and lesbian film festivals, because of a perceived lesbian relationship between the film's two female leads.
		The film's narrative is essentially a punk rock ethic - misunderstood youth forming a band and articulating their frustrations to adult authority figures (specified in the movie as parents, the medical establishment, and politicians).
		Moyle revealed that the film's integrity was compromised by the removal of the more overt lesbian content, and the addition (at the insistence of producer Robert Stigwood) of several inappropriate songs to the film's soundtrack.

	BBC - collective - Halloween II [1981]
		Halloween II takes place on the same night as Halloween with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) rushed to hospital after her ordeal from Myers.
		The revelation (hinted at in the TV version of Halloween) does take away some power from the first film as Myers was perceived to have no motive to stalk and terrorise young Laurie and that was the raw terror.
		You will have fun watching this and it still manages to be creepy enough to work as a horror film.
