MCT:March 24, 2008Billy Liar didn't floor me, but the overall look of the movie and John Schlesinger's direction did. The brief machine gun cutaways and the brief Ambrosia sidebars were brilliant. God knows when I don't want to deal with someone or something I just want to open fire with a machine gun. Tom Courtenay was amazing though. Ultimately what kind of failed to sell me on Billy Liar was the abysmal depression of an overall feel of the movie and the abundant lack of The Freewheelin' Julie Christie. How her and Tom Courtenay suddenly got together towards the end was also a little suspect.

MCT:February 6, 2008One of my favourites. Has some great comic moments as well as being one of the best known of the "kitchen sink dramas". The story revolves around Billy who does nothing but daydream and let his imagination run wild. Its through his wild imagination that Billy has managed to find himself engaged to not one but 3 girlfriends. It may seem that Billy is uncaring towards his family and 3 girlfriends but it becomes clear that Billy?s wild imagination and habit of lying is his way of escaping the humdrum life of 1960s Northern England. Also a great performance by Julie Christie in her first major film role.

MCT:January 29, 2007The first time I saw this film was for one of my film studies exams. This film is a good gives a good outlook of some decisions that young adults were faced with during the early sixties in Britain. I enjoyed this film however I realise this film may not be for everyone, I recommend watching it at least once with an open mind.
