This was a really good movie. I especially liked how they used film from an old Terence Stamp flick to show the character from The Limey as a young man.

It's definitely an interesting movie because it goes much deeper than its revenge story frame.

I had to be removed from the theatre as a tyke during MP, apparently the cannonfire was not quite to my liking.

In retrospect, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang should have been on my list.

I just dig it because it's CHOCK FULL of the stupid, screwball comedies of the early to mid 80's that end up staying with you more than any arthouse flick. Basically, shit that's right in my wheel house.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the consistency among the lists so far. We can't agree on music to save our lives, but we appear to be compatible when it comes to film.
