I'm too obsessed with these. But anyway, here are my suggested fixes of the "Forbes' twelve"
- And Soon the Darkness - needed three girls so there were at least two kills (preferrably three kills), not enough story
- The Breaking of Bumbo - too late for it to have been made, missed its window
- Dulcima - never should've been made, too television, not enough story
- Eyewitness - pick a lead and make it about that one person, not four
- A Fine and Private Place - never should've made it with those stars, they weren't names
- The Go Between - no notes
- Hoffman - either make it Beauty and the Beast and turn the Beast sympathetic or make it a horror story, again not enough story
- The Man Who Haunted Himself - better fashion, lean into concept more... but I would've green lit this
- Mr Frobush and the Penguins - experienced director, and a human love story that happens in Antarctica not via bloody phone - make Hayley Mills the star, have a handsome man visit her, personify the penguins
- The Raging Moon - younger stars (Jenny Agutter say) and a subplot involving parents, not enough story otherwise
- The Railway Children - no notes
- The Tales of Beatrix Potter - I would've asked for more of a narrative; the film did fine but with more of a conventional story it could've done gangbusters
