It's not difficult to like a film with such an iconic performance by Albert Finney. He owns every shot he's in. But the entire cast excelles and the film never gets boring for even a minute. Definitely a keeper. - 9/10 |
YES. Just YES. Props on the Ealing comedies and I absolutely love Brighton Rock, Brief Encounter, all that stuff... You watch those movies people actually didn't speak the same, it's amazing. 'Queen's English' ftw
new wave... have you seen Billy Liar? if you haven't that has to be right at the top of your list, you'd lav it. There's too many to mention really. I am a slave to kitchen sink dramas of the 60's
Hollywood has absolutely slaughtered a couple recently -
Ladykillers,
Alfie. Why?!
