Hangar 18 or the 9th Gate

Browsing for something to watch after the Antiques Roadshow and the fact that it's my choice tonight I had a look see at Sci Fi.

Hangar 18 caught my eye, not a film I know. Do you?

I opted for The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp. A film about horror book collectors a bit like me. Except these old tomes are worth millions each! 

Anyone seen it?

  1. I think I saw it back in 1980, but there were a bunch of similar films at the time.

    One of Frank Langella’s best roles.

    The film is named after a translation of the fictional Delomelanicon, and is loosely based on the novel “The Club Dumas.”

    Some at the RPF even did some up.

    This may be an example

    1. Blimey, fascinating! I'd no idea Ninth gate had spawned so modern many repro props! Amazing! Thanks!
