Nope, not "Doppleganger," though that's a good guess.  No rocket blows up
at the end.

The movie is "Journey to the Far Side of the Sun," from 1969.  Interesting
ending (no spoiler) showing the astronaut's frustration at being trapped
on the "wrong" planet.

How violent it is depends upon how much sympathy you have for chickens.

It's worth mentioning 'cos it has the longest chase [on foot] sequence I have
ever seen. It must last over 20 minutes and is filmed entirely by a handheld
camera following the two runners. Funny, then tedious, then funny again and
towards the end it's just nauseous 'cos the cameraman's getting tired and he's
wobbling the camera about too much.

It's not that recent, though, 'cos I saw it in June 1991 (the 28th to be precise).

I find this a little amusing.  In New Zealand BRAIN DEAD was released, if 
memory serves, with an "R 16" rating, which, not surprisingly, means you
had to be 16 to see it.  There was relatively little fuss over the 
censorship, presumably because it was a "comedy" and a New Zealand one at that.

A few weeks earlier, however, our chief censor had decided to ban - out right -
HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER.  This was the first "main stream" film
banned in this country in a very long time, and the decision caused something
of an uproar, although not as loud a one as there should have been in my 
opinion (I did my bit in a small way).  The appeal against the censorship
ruling was turned down, and for the most pathetic reasons imaginable (I talked
to the woman who headed the appeals board - an alleged academic from my own
university).

As several newspaper editorials pointed out these two rulings, taken together,
had very little consistency, to say nothing of the fact that SILENCE OF THE
LAMBS (which it can be argued glamorises Lector) was released without a single
protest.

I find it somehow sickly funny that the USA has reversed the process with
regard the Jackson/McNaughton films.  Perhaps a little national prejudice is
always involved in these supposedly "moral" decisions.

There is most definately two films. "Willard" is the first. "Ben" is the
weaker sequel. Eric Shea befriends Ben <from the first film> and Ben 
defends him against the local kids who beat him up <he handicapped>.
Pretty tacky, with the most obnoxious kid actor of the 70's, and

there are lots of RHPS fans here, and the film does get discussed from

Cult Films, it is hardly the only film talked about here.

Well, I certainly don't feel qualified to try to define "cult
movie" in front of this crowd, but I would surely think that the
Blatty flick would qualify.  It wasn't incredibly popular,
box-officewise, was fairly popular among critics, and damn
hard to dope out on one viewing.  It's really an
interesting film that doesn't get talked about much, but
look it up for something different.

Yes.  The film was made by Gerry Anderson, the guy responsible for
puppet shows like Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Stingray, Captain Scarlet,
Supercar, Terrahawks (should I mention this one? :-)), etc.  I believe
he had a fling with making films (or more precisely using actors
and live action rather than puppets, hence the UFO series) but gave up
on the idea and admitted that he was destined to make puppet shows...

I was not refering to that, but to the last chapter of the book where we
follow the 'anthropologists' (probably anappropriate) in their studies of
'primitive civilaisations'. I cannot see how it fits in with the rest of 
the book. It seems in contradiction with the ideas of the "star-" guiding
