Great film, special for me cos i lived with director for 4 years and he wrote it during that period. So its my early 20s on film pretty much. Nice one bruvva is an evolution of how we used to scream down the phone at each other, (and still do) with names instead of bruvva.

It is superb and just represents his zest for life and fun and sillyness and funny situations. Under table snorting scene just one example of the talent in the cinematography.

If you liked this, i would urge anyone to check out his largely unknown second film "i know you know". A different affair about him and his dad and mum, but stunning in different ways. Also his older college stuff, party politics, life in the bus lane. On YT somewhere i think.

The sequel to HT is confirmed btw in case you didn't know.

Wow, that is amazing. He captured a perfect picture of life and it is totally relatable. The whole film was so well done and the cast was just spot on. You will have to tell him how amazing he is. I was 19/20 when it came out and that was a typical weekend. It just gives you the warm and fuzzies. I would be totally buzzin’ if there was a sequel. I will have to do some digging and see if I can find his other stuff. Thank you.

Spot on bro I'll keep an eye out for that as human trafficking is a top film reminds me of my younger days 👍

Niiiiccccceeee ooonnnneeeee brrruuuvvvvaaaa

aha! You beat me to it, WHL

No way?! Love all the Nick Love ones, The Business, Outlaw, FF obviously

The business is a good shout

Nice one bruvvvvvv!

Love it. You seen Goodbye Charlie Bright?

Not seen that one. Is it worth a watch?

Yeah all the old crowd that came up from London lots of the football factory boys just all about life on the estate all the capers etc great film

Will take a look. Thank you.

I first watched it on a big screen at Glastonbury, chewing my face off. Takes me right back whenever I watch it

I also saw this first on the big screen at Glastonbury, chewing my face off. Decided I wanted a cup of tea half way for some reason.. Thought someone had moved the bushes in front of me so I began to climb through it. The bushes hadn't moved.. I had crawled down the middle aisle in front of everyone, walked along the screen and preceded to climb through undergrowth.
Luckily some kind people came and pulled me out of the bush and explained to me what the fuck was going on and directed me to the nearby tea tent. Memory a bit patchy but I think I was having fun.
I miss the 90's sometimes.

It’s amazing the memories this film brings back. I miss the 90s too. There was nothing like a good Mitsubishi pill to set you on a good weekender. I think we are all the same on here. We just want life back to what we had then.

Mitsi trubos! Ahahaha wow takes me back

lucky people here it is

The bit in the record shop with the aphrodite track is legendary.

Spliff politics by mr nice in it is brilliant

I must admit, that part is spot on and I was always the interceptor of the spliff lol!

Morning! *sniffs* MORNING!!

Nurse! I need a pisspot and a jacket.....cause I'm fucked!

Literally one of my favourite movies of all time. He wen't from being a raver who takes pills on the weekend to going on grand adventures as The Hobit. Martin Freeman is a beast!

"Any jungle goin!?"

**sorry if I have ruined any quotes, my brain is only at half capacity today lol**

Not Martin Freeman dude, was John Sim who played the master in Dr Who. Also Andrew Lincoln in in it briefly who plays Rick in Walking Dead

No shit? Hahaha for literally years I was thinking it was the same dude, my bad. Cheers for that!

This could turn hare Krishna into a bad boy!!

"You know how artists paintings go up in value when they die? Well rappers records go up when they get locked up. IT'S GOING TO BE BANNED!"

Koop scratching cracks me up " puffing da herb err ehh err ehh puf puf puf puf puffing da herb" or something like that lol.

And the whole "who the hell you been ringing in Taiwan boy" scene.

Such a great film. Pretty much summed up my late teens early 20s. The best days. :)

The whole thing cracks me up. It doesn’t matter how many times you watch it, you always find it funny. I think there is a little bit of all of us in that film. I’m defo a Lulu.

So true. I was definitely moff lol. I look back now amazed that I'm alive and heathy. Wouldnt dare get mashed now but thought nothing of dropping a few a back then. Was just part of going out in those days eh. Wouldn't change it for a thing though. Best days/nights of my life. Helter skelter, dreamscape, hysteria. Then later God's kitchen, progress, passion. I'd give anything to go back in time and do it all again. :)

You found reality then lol! I think if I dropped a pill now, I would die! I will stick to the green! I live in Scotland so the rave scene here was epic in the 90s. I wouldn’t change it for the world. There were no fights, everyone loved everyone, no one got offended and it was safe! I feel bad for the young ones now. They won’t get the experiences we had. The music was on another level too.

I think we know you mean John Simm and not Martin Freeman. At least you know the film though. Makes me so nostalgic for my 90s lifestyle. It was an amazing time to be off your face.

Got any Jungle guy?
I GOT THE TARZAN AND THE JANE OF THE JUNGLE SWUNG IN FRESH ON THE VINE THIS MORNING 😁 (or close if remember serves me right). In all fairness I did much the same facially to that baseline. Film!
Nice post

It’s such a great film. Never gets old. Unlike me lol!

Wow one of the best films of the nineties takes me back. Spot on film the good old days lol.

My mate is an extra in it!! ;)

Danny Dyer on the bog...

Fucking love it

But have you seen Taxi Driver... ?
Danny Dyer at his best in this movie!
The coathanger bit is hilarious!

The Business is probably my favourite Danny Dyer film, not seen the Taxi so will give it a watch.

I will have to have a look at that one. Danny Dyer is always good in films. Not keen on him in Eastenders though.

Nah Eastenders is rubbish, but Danny Dyer was funny in Human Traffic. Note he wasnt in Taxi Driver, he is just talking about the movie Taxi Driver to a taxi driver. Talking about torturing Peter Andre... I will link it

Duh! Sorry, I didn’t pick you up there and yes, that part was hilarious. I also hate Peter Andre, so that is particularly hilarious to me.

4.5 billion years ago a nearby dwarf galaxy..... that's not fact but is being presented as scientific fact. ...we simply don't know that. It's a supposition.

interesting do you have an alternative theory in mind?

No. I don't theorise x

amazing

those are actually lebowski lines they are saying

Whoops I thought this was going to be Time Machines with Dicks, because you know they are always so vaginal.
Seemed intriguing.

the dick is how you get back

true this!

Murder Mountain - Netflix

Easily the best documentary mini series I've seen in years. And I watch a lot of them. Fascinating if you're interested in the cannabis business, and murder....and weird isolated communities, and loads more.

Just incredible. Seen it 3 times and might watch it again.

Tiger King on Netflix is also pretty good although didn't need to be as long as it was. Seemed to be dragged out over too many episodes.

Cheers BB

Yes, (Murder Mountain) I need to watch that again. Started casually watching that and then couldn't believe what I was watching. Tiger King is fun to watch, but Murder Mountain should just as much credit or hype.

Can't Get You Out Of My Head - Adam Curtis

Anything from Adam Curtis is solid gold

Vice documentaries

or documentaries by Louis Theroux

i actually have a feeling Louis Theroux is a user here!!

somewhere suspiciously looking for the good stuff

Hahaha and asking a lot of (not so) innocent questions I guess.

Thanks mate

lol yeah suspiciously not so innocent jokes

Peace brother

The war we don't see- john pilger

the power of nightmares
the men who made us spend

the Q anon documentary on HBO especially for learning about fred brennan

Learning the identity of Q wasnt bad either, this is important journalism that happens to have amazing characters.

The Odessa Project.

Not too serious
Not too long.

Ask yourself if you had 30 million in 1996 would you buy a Russian submarine to run drugs ?

Yeah, that one is crazy. Loved that one.

If you are at all interested in hip hop, check out the BBC Four series "Hip Hop - The Songs That Shook America". I only saw one episode so far, but there are some amazing interviews, old footage and stories.

The new Netflix doc about Biggie is pretty good too.

didn't rate it tbh, didn't think it did the best job of telling his story and jumped around too much. Found it tedious to watch at times imo. I'm a big biggie fan so had high hopes

These new BBC nature docs are great if you have a 4K tv ;) I just got one. The last tv I bought was a cube, so it’s amazing picture ;)

Yeah being high and watching nature docs in 4k is so intense :-)

Can't Get You Out of My Head

That looks really interesting. Thanks

Love this thread, some real gems here.

2 additions.

Street Food Asia.
Good food and good gear go hand in hand. Watching these mostly old timers make simple things so well, some of them finally got Michelin stars for it. Great cinematography and storytelling.

Hannibal Buress Goes To Scotland.
Love this guy already, but this is an insight into the real highs and lows of the working life of a comedian as he does Edinburgh Festival for the first time.

'Fourteen Days In May' on BBC iPlayer.

Its from the 80s and followins a death row inmates final 2 weeks leading up to his execution date. Very powerful documentary, will stay with you gor a while after watching.

ULC

I read a suggestion that the popularity of BBC nature documentaries (particularly Attenbrough) in the USA has great correlation with legalised weed.

Almost anything from Storyville.

The Game Changers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSpglxHTJVM
Turned me into asparagus- eating caw :)

I must admit, I am a die hard carnivore. But that doc did make me think about eating less meat too. Check Joe Rogan podcast too with the doc maker. Very interesting.

The same here- ended up eating less meat just because I started eating more veg :) Not a black/white path though as there are A LOT of poor quality "vegan"-labelled products with tonnes of salt and things that are much worse than meat.

I’ve been watching ‘The Innocence files’ decent that. So was ‘the nightstalker’

U.S had to turn back on a nuclear bombing mission to Cairo in 1967 after Israel navy torpedo hit USS Liberty. It's mental !

Icarus
The Octopus Teacher
Murder mountain

Yeah Icarus is amazing. I am not sure if a saw The Octopus Teacher, I saw a couple about Octupus and they are amazing creatures. Thanks I will check it

All NOVA docs

True! One of my favorite NOVA docs is Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial.

Have a look at the ihavenotv website, they have plenty of great docs for free

What a fantastic recommendation. Cheers for that.
Some of the stuff on there is fascinating.... especially after a nice vape. :-)==~

Haven't logged in to netflix for a while ahaha

cheers bro

the tiger woods doco on hbo, incredible story

Thanks I will check that out too.

Anything made by Ken Burns. Anything by Storyville or the best documentary ever made "Death of a state."

Cocaine Cowboys

Read the book a last year, LB needs a John Roberts to spice things up a bit lol

Jurassic Park

Check out the CGI... even more fun if you speak the lingo ;)

is it camp or are they playing it straight?

BAYBY

I’m glad someone brought this up! Really good series. Loved the sims blue episode. Deep as fuck!

Just got a vote up and noticed the typo- Zima blue is the episode I believe

one of the best for sure

all really well done and the perfect length

not a bad series

You should check out 'Threads' a UK TV movie from the mid 80's. The effects are wonky by todays standards but it's still chilling as hell. Fail Safe and Forbin: The Colossus Project are also still scary.
Children of Men is my favourite film of all time. A flawless masterpiece with great characters and so plausible.

+1 for Threads, superb. They could act, the director could direct; I'm critical of much of todays loud, effects heavy drama. But then I'm a wrinkly 8)

"Apocalypse Now" fits into the category I think, if you haven't seen it - do so asap.

I have seen apocalypse now, didn't think of that when I wrote the post. I guess it's not a proper apocalypse (global/taking humanity to near extinction - does tick the societal collapse box) but the name certainly fits and it is a brilliant film.

Apocalypse now is one of my favourite films. Have you seen the redux version. It’s a directors cut and is so worth it. It is loosely based on the book Heart of darkness by Joseph Conrad which is a good read if you enjoy the film. Brando is the man. A hell of a lot of his part is improvised. Genius

I suggested it fits as the Vietnam War caused the collapse of Vietnamese society & economy, not to mention the USAs use of the defoliant Agent Orange, napalm and all the rest. As far as all those agrarian villagers were concerned it was an "extinction event", their world had gone. 8(

The Vietnam war was truly ghastly :(

threads is so dark!

Children of Men: that is my fav film ever, I remmeber when I first watched it I was so moved I was in tears. Usually love movies but never get emotional, Children of Men however got me. "Strawberry Cough". 28 Days Later, one of Danny Boyles movies.
Other good movies: Train to Busan, The Road, Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Shaun of The Dead, Sunshine (about a space crew in the future trying to stop an impending apocalypse as the sun is dying), Independence Day. That's what I can think of so far, but amazing shout on Children of Men, a lot of people I know have never seen Children of Men, it's a very underrated film.

I’m going to throw Snowpiercer into the mix. The movie, not the tv series. Directed by Bong Joon Ho, he directed Parasite and has a great name.

Children of men is also one of my all time favourites, very moving film that scarily looks like the not too distant future.

The walking dead( rv series )
The road
The book of eli
Night eats the world
Train to buscan
Last man in earth *TV comedy
A quiet place
The crazies
Just a few I have watched that were decent

Great list so far, just going to add:
Mad Max trilogy.
This is the end.

The Road is great.. really dark. Annihilation is good too.

A Boy and his Dog is a 70s classic!

hilarious

Hi there
I saw it yesterday evening and I did not expect something like that ; a good surprise !

This is really interesting, seems the Romans never really integrated the local population so even at it's height the whole thing was tenuous.
