"Hard work being in love, eh? Especially when you don't know which girl it is."
It was a film without much of a plot, set in a little Scottish town where youths seemingly roamed around freely without a care in the world. Unless you were an awkward teenager by the name of Gregory, of course.
Bill Forsyth's cute 1981 comedy became a surprise hit around the world, and has now been given a makeover in a DVD and Blu-ray re-release. So, after 33 years, does the film still resonate today?
Gregory's Girl star Clare Grogan: 'We didn't expect lasting legacy'
The thing about Gregory's Girl that still resonates, is that not much happens. Compared to high school comedies of the past decade or so, where it's all risqué shenanigans and slapstick situations, this film is relaxed and easy-going, just like John Gordon Sinclair's Gregory himself.

The computer screen has been one of cinema's key props for half a century. As far back as 1950s creature features, panicking scientists were staring at tiny grey circles in gigantic mainframes; supervillains in velour pantsuits plotted world domination by the light of a blinking cursor; computer-illiterate detectives in second-rate thrillers had no bother downloading files from the bad guy's PC.
Accessmaincomputerfile.net is a fascinating pictoral history of computer screens (or GUIs: graphical user interfaces) in the movies. It charts how they've become an iconic part of film history – of the visual grammar and thematic superstructure of the medium.
Their silently glowing screens are simultaneously comforting and menacing, detached and electric, inert and seemingly possessed of volition. And they are everywhere, from spaceships to hacker's dens, from military bases to newspaper offices,...
