Description

This classic British gangster film is also a meditation on capitalism, crime, and the death of the British Empire. And weird as hell to watch post-Brexit. Featuring stunning performances from Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren, this film is easily one of the best we've seen for the show. Some come and listen to us talk about the IRA, gay mobsters, and how Remington Steel was not great.

Sure, the 1980s were a great decade for film. But have you seen all of them? No, neither has Mary. In fact, some pretty big films passed her by, what with being in kindergarten at the time: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Moonstruck, My Neighbor Totoro... So it's time to fix that.
