Agreed.

Comfort and Joy is my favourite of his films.
However,it's now OOP and the cheapest is selling on Amazon for 22 quid!
A bare bones affair an'all.

AWE I'm sure released Gregory's Girl mate-their artwork keek as well?

Almost as bad as the rest.

Shocking.

I remember those yellow goalie tops were all the rage!

Haha, yes the good old days

I'm a huge fan of Forsyth, with "That Sinking Feeling" and "Gregory's Girl" my favourite two. I had an unbelievable crush on Clare Grogan at the time of "Gregory's Girl". Bella, bella

Time TSF was given a good UK release.

I picked up a best of Mark Knopfler cd from ASDA for a fiver-of course it has 'Going Home' from Local Hero.
Worth the fiver for that alone!

Finally plucked up the courage to buy Gregory's 2 Girls,and wish I hadn't.

Some things are better left alone.Especially with a storyline like that...WTF was Dougray Scott all about?

A better storyline would have been the original characters (Andy,Steve,Dorothy,Susan,Eric and Billy's) lives......Bum,tits fanny-the lot!

Also bought breaking in....haven't managed to get past the 15 minute mark yet.....


SOMEONE GIVE THIS TALENTED MAN A DECENT PROJECT!

I didn't rate the sequel either. Like you said, some things should be left well alone.

Definetly.

There was no light comedy at all...and Bill's journey to the dark side was complete.
