Long Good Friday

[Nibble]

I have a day off and found The Long Good Friday in HMV for 3 earth pounds. A film I have long been recomended but have never seen so I am about to load into the machine, I have a plate of Apple, kiwi fruit, blackberries, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and bovarian smoked cheese. I will enjoy this I think.

 

[porkypie]

Class film!

 

[Tricky Dicky]

You certainly should - top film. It's usually one for late at night with some sort of alcoholic refreshment in hand, but what the hey !

Watch out for a very young looking Pierce Brosnan in an early role.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Great film, if a little dated now.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Great film. "Wot a diabolical liberty!"

 

[Pavilionaire]

Right up there with Get Carter and The Italian Job as a British Crime Classic.

 

[Common as Mook]

We're looking for people who can contribute to what England has given the world: culture, genius, sophistication. Bit more than an 'ot dog, know what I mean?

 

[xenophon]

In my top ten of all time, 'oskins hasn't been as good until.....Roger Rabbit!

Only joking - Mona Lisa is in my top twenty list too, best scene featuring Palace Pier on celluloid

 

[Beach Hut]

Harold Shand is a legend

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I think I'm right in saying that when Harold was walking down one of the old-style docks, saying "one day, all this will be built on" (or something similar), is now Canary Wharf !

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Brilliant film - "Shut up you long streak of paralysed piss"

 

[Man of Harveys]

I like the bit with the MEAT HOOKS best

 

[The Large One]

Better than a fuckin' raspberry ripple.

 

[Easy 10]

Its a good film, but not aged well. Looks a bit "Minder" at times.

 

[Bish Bosh]

It is dated but foretells the Docklands boom, so visionary in its time. The place where Harold Shand berths his yacht is indeed Canary Wharf.

Watch out for a good twist at the end if you haven't seen it before.

Great soundtrack too.

Oh and Helen Mirren...what more could you want?

 

[herbicide]

Cut 'im, Razors.

 

[Grassman]

Is it really that dated? Only in a way that a 18th Century romantic romp would be. A belter of a film in my opinion. A classic English creation, a la Scum, Quadrophenia and Get Carter. "Razors, cut 'im". So many great lines.

Incidentally, I very nearly bought a 'This Is Spinal Tap' special edition for £70 yesterday. It included a working amp that went to 11. Still tempted to purchase it....

 

[Grassman]

Cut 'im, Razors.

Alright, so you beat me to it. Another good reason to hate a Palace fan....

 

[LA1972]

Great film and a good way to spend a midweek day off work - but what the hell kind of slobbing out snacks are they Do you live in Glastonbury? Get a terrys chocy orange down your neck and large bag of popcorn

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

Cut 'im, Razors.

When I first saw this thread whilst at work this was the very first thing that popped into my head but I don't know my password so can't post from work.

A real tour de force from Hoskins, classic Brit Flick
