2008 needs this film

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2009)

Like many people, I go to the cinema every year at Christmas to watch this film. This film is over sixty years old. The cinema's packed every time. It gets a standing ovation every single time. Enough said.
This year I took my dad with me. This year, like every year, I left the theatre walking on air. But this year I wandered to a pub near Trafalgar Square, had a drink with my dad and looked around at the other punters, wondering how many would be facing financial problems in the coming recession - and if I would be one of them.
This film is not far-fetched. People kill themselves over money all the time. In fact this film has never been more relevant. To top it all off, it's very, very funny.
