Zardoz (1974)

I can honestly say that this was by far one of the most bizarre movies I've ever watched in my entire life. More akin to a blizzard of Oz than a wizard. Thank goodness special effects have come a long way since the early 70's, I'm not sure I would've coped if Star Wars had had a similar look. I am however happy that Sean Connery RIP was able to continue having a successful career after parading round for over an hour in essentially a loin cloth swimming costume with thigh high boots. Charlotte Rampling Looked amazing back in the day tho', Sir Connery once again bags the pretty lady in the end.
Kidulthood (2006)
Good Account
Good movie and a pretty good insight in to what growing up in todays society is really like, for far more teenagers than many people think. It demonstrated what growing up is really like for teenagers growing up on council estates in every major city in the UK as well as many other towns alike. Many people who do not intermingle in such areas would not believe this to be a common occurrence and would consider this as anything more than an exaggerated view of the youth of today.
However, I believe this to be a very true to life film, well directed, great screenplay, with a suitable sound track and quite impressive acting from a young cast. It's a bit unfortunate that not many of these types of British films get the recognition they deserve sometimes.
