It's a brilliant film. ' she calls that wobbly'

"I thought it mattered. I thought music mattered. Does it bollocks"
One of my favourite ever film quotes 🙂

Needmorelego · 09/09/2022 23:36

(I may have the quote slightly wrong.... it's been a good few years)

I'm gonna enjoy this ! Do any colliery bands still exist? Since no colliery does ?

“The love of my life just walked back through that door”.
Changes the whole dynamic of the film and makes the ending so much harder to take.

Grimethorpe colliery is one example. It’s who Grimley Colliery in the movie is roughly based from.

“It’s called a euphonium” is still one of my fave quotes.
makes me miss brass banding.

I went to a Dobcross Silver Band/American Big Band concert. Still lots of support and a great sound.
My favourite brass band tune is “My Love is Like a Red Red Rose”. Brings a lump to my throat…

"Sex drugs and rock and roll wh girls ?"

"Yeah except we can do without rock and roll "

I was watching it too-used to love it…mainly I think for Ewan McGregor but it is a good film!

DH and DD played in different bands at the Whit Friday marches this year and I attended for the first time. It's just like it's portrayed in the film, including the alcohol!! Great film, makes me cry every time.

"Slap smiles on their faces, make 'em talk out thier arses, and lo and behold, God created the Tory Party"

Veryverycalmnow · 10/09/2022 00:22

I'd forgotten about Ewan McGregor being in this!

Love it. Also the French and Saunders takeoff. 'You remember my dad? Willy? Willy Eckerslike!'
Priceless.
