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.

Human traffic is full of Qaballah clues

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

It’s a weird state of affairs when you are in a field in Somerset and you think. I know. I’ll go and watch Human Traffic.

A lovely state of affairs.

Where were you. When all my mates thought it’d be funny to go gabba. It wasn’t funny.

I’d have gone and watched some totally weird Ken Russell film. (Altered States, anyone?)

Rather than having to go gabba.

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!

lucky people here it is

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

Aphrodite. South Coast Massiive (or Littliiive)

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.

Great film- sequel on the way i believe!

Hope so x

24 Hour Party People is also a good-un.

As well as Who Killed the KLF?

Who killed the KLF was good.

I was clubbing my tits off then so this was like looking into a mirror for me (a bit like the scene at the afterparty with Jip and Koop on the sofa ;)). Love the Howard Marks spliff politics cameo 👌 summed up a Britain and a generation that didn’t take itself too seriously (unlike today sadly).

I know! It’s awful now. You could lose your mates and find randoms and nothing bad ever happened!

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.

I hated this film, maybe I was a bit of a snobby clubber back then, but every character in that film is a complete muppet. The movie is a cringe fest

Or Irreversible. 😬

Check out London Kills Me.

More up your alley I reckons.

Qaballastic pub scene ?

If your into superhero stuff but want something grittier and darker give The Boyz a shot, once it gets going its an amazing watch, great while high too.

Invincible on Amazon if you like animated stuff had me hooked. Also letterkenny if you can find somewhere to watch it.

I will definitely give this a watch! Thanks 😊

The Wire. Can't believe its not had a mention yet!

One of my favourites, lost count how many times I've Watched.

Currently watching Sopranos AGAIN!! 😁

Love the other 3, Need to watch Dexter still 😛

1. Game Of Thrones

knew I would see supernatural somewhere!
First 3 seasons amazing and then just good after. Cant be bad

I’m a super fan haha rewatching it for about the 10th time atm 🤣

maybe a season 16. I think its been long enough since the finale and i didnt like Deans ending honestly. Well easy for them to be revived the new god is there brother.... LMAO love the show and felt I need to put context to what i meant:)

Some great recommendations so far. I’ll add a few obscure ones that haven’t been mentioned or that you might of missed.

1. Chernobyl (HBO)
2. Raised By Wolves (HBO)
3. Pantheon (Animated show on Amazon New Zealand I believe but if you know how to find stuff to watch online for free, it’s there)
4. Vikings (Amazon)
5. The Boys (Amazon
6. Severance (Apple Tv)
7. See (Apple TV)
8. Silo (Apple TV)
9. Boardwalk Empire (Can’t remember)
10. The Englishman (BBC Iplayer)

I believe all of these shows to be great!

2 and 3 have been unfortunately cancelled despite having no business being cancelled, it’s pretty shit that we might not get any conclusions to their stories but what’s there is worth watching.

I’ve added where you can watch them on their native streaming services but if you’d rather watch them for free, I got you! Here’s the site I use as it has NO ads and all of the shows I’ve listed can be found there:

👊🏾

I appreciate your input. I’ve been searching for something to binge but, truthfully, I’ve grown to be a “tv snob” lol… my expectations after watching such series as Game Of Thrones has really diminished my desire to watch anything mediocre. I’ll absolutely look into these series - if you have a recommendation or suggestion on where I should start, I’m all ears!

I’d start with Chernobyl, it’s a quick mini series, 5 episodes I believe. Get that out of the way then I’d hop on The Boys after that. Anything from my list after that and you’re good. Ps, I’d class The English and Pantheon as hidden gems😎

Thank YOU, kind sir!!

Anytime pal. I hope you enjoy and if you fancy a chat and review once you’ve got stuck in, hit me up.

I’m still loving Brassic- it’s just completely nuts!😂

I think I have to start with this lol 😂

What We Do In The Shadows. Was on BBC Iplayer...now all series on Disney Pluus.
So few genuinely decent sitcoms about in recent years...this though totally bucks the trend. Its brilliant :)

Totally loving Monarch legacy of monsters atm 🥳

Currently Im enjoying Lawman Bass Reeves and Monarch Legacy of Monsters. Slow Horses series 3 starting on the 1st December I think (Series 1 and 2 available now).

It must be mentioned here somewhere but I cant help it it is one of my secret pleasures.
Supernatural. Sam and Dean. Also if you like it I think a new season is coming.
if you have watched the boys Dean is the super soldier (Captain some1 I really cant remember his name) in series 2.

New season of Fargo has started, previous seasons are worth a watch and this season looks good, bit of a slow burner storyline so far.

Gomorrah (Amazon), Suburra (Netflix), The Wire (Sky?) & The Last Kingdom (Netflix). A few I’ve really enjoyed lately 👍

Thank you 🙏

If you had to pick one of the 4 which would it be?

Game Of Thrones above everything and there’s no second place… but have you already seen it?

Gomorrah 100%. Probably the best series I’ve ever seen 👍

I just finished watching ‘bodies’..

Fall of Civilizations - Not weed related but hypnotic to watch high. Really informative and really well presented, there's not a great deal of them but they're beautifully put together.

DrewIsSharing

Not necessarily 'weed' related, but if you want a YouTube channel to learn some stuff, "Today I Found Out" is great when you're high and ready to soak up a bit of random trivia (if that's your thing)

Cheers BB

Thanks mate, just taken a look, looks interesting :-)

Bigg up

Urbanremo is a great channel!

He’s a Canadian grower who used to work for Advanced Nitrients and now has his own nutrient company.

He does things like Marajuana Monday or Hash Wednesday where he reviews strains but also always brings his camera to all the expos and cannabis cups.

Blazintheasian

Hi Treebee..I'm a doctor denz fan..love his videos along with strain cainers....great to watch while stoned as fuck lol😃..

I can't provide a an actual link but type "high rollers Derek gilman" on YouTube search. It's part of the Ganjiers channel. The 30 ish minute episodes with Derek Gilman as host can be fun/informative to watch. Cannabis industry guests talking all sorts of topics... Oh and they have to have a toot at some point in the conversation!!

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 actually prefer the original version, it's tighter (and usually I'd always go for director's cut). The Redux one felt a bit over-indulgent (the scenes with the playboy bunnies and the weird, detached posh French people were interesting but didn't add much that the film didn't already get across in other scenes, and they affected the pacing for me). Anyway, that's just my personal preference - great shout from you and Dirigible, and one of my favourite films too (also Conrad is one of my favourite writers). 

The "making of" doc for the film (called 'Hearts of Darkness') is an apocalypse film in itself ;). Def worth seeing if you haven't - at one point Coppola tells his wife that he's mortgaged everything he owns to pay for the movie, and it's going to be rubbish, and considers deliberately injuring himself to get the insurance payout ;(

Brando is indeed the man! I think he had to improvise most of it because he couldn't/wouldn't learn the actual script haha (plus the script was unfinished)...and yet the performance is still genius.

(also, Brando wasn't the only one who wouldn't learn his lines, as the link with Dennis Hopper above shows. And I'm pretty sure Coppola was partaking of the magic herb during shooting as well, let's not assume he was sober just cos he's the director ;)

This is all a tangent but man I love the film.

I was going to suggest The Road as well, as someone has already said - bleak and powerful film. And Children of Men is a great choice. Also, Tarkovsky’s Stalker - incredible shots and atmosphere.

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 :(

i would like to see an cg remix for a lot of british science fiction

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.

I wasn’t against the series at first. But nah. The film is so much better.

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.

That one shot through the bus and into the building.

Incredible bit of filmmaking.

Gravity is also a bit of a masterpiece.

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.

Armageddon

Should keep you going and make you suitably depressed, but in a nice way.

Probably many, many more. Nothing like the end of the world to make a movie pop.

I do love an apocalypse movie and it’s like I had this massive list pre-prepared or something.

Nobody is that much of a nerd, surely?

Why the fuck d’ya think I smoke weed? It helps

Or maybe I’m like this because I
smoke weed.

Maybe weed would help.

I’ll smoke some weed. Even if it doesn’t help it’ll feel like it’s helping for a while.

World War Z was quite watchable if I remember, been a while since I’ve seen it though

A Boy and his Dog is a 70s classic!

Nice one BBDoom

Are you watching Ahsoka?

It has a wicked plot and Baylan Skollis probably the best baddie since Count Dooku

My favourite Star Wars Telly show after Mando.

Cheers

I've not really seen any of the shows tho i do hear they're very good.👍

Hi BBDoom

My fav are Mandalorian - all seasons.

Boba Fett has some good bits in it too and it becomes Mando season 2.5 halfway through so it makes sense to watch it.

I like Asohka a lot too. Lots of Japanese Chambara influences, hints of 50s SciFi & Pure Science-Fantasy (Star Whales).

Cheers
