Great film about Mod Britain in 1964 but the thing I don't understand is that so many mods still like this film when at the end it basically says that being a mod is fake and meaningless so move on! Great bit of British modern culture though, none of it ever happened though!
Having loved "Tommy", I tried watching this movie, but couldn't get into it. Perhaps it was the grungy scenes, the heavily-accented characters, or the particular selection of Who songs.
What an era that was, greasy rocker bikers set against the mod squad on Brighton beach.....I always wanted to be a mod as a boy...weird how I turned out to be a rocker with a shaved head....aint life weird.....great film.
Fans of The Who or no, this is one of the great teenage rebellion films, influencing many that came after.
If you are/have been a mod you'll probably like this film, but be a little frustrated by Jimmy's 'condition'...if you' are not/never have been a mod then you'll probably not be able to sit through it.
A cult classic and a must see movie. A great film with an amazing soundtrack. The mods/rockers storyline is great. There are loads of well known faces in here but my favourite character was sting!!!
The other classic Brighton film. Mod's and rockers duelling it out on the beach and Sting on a moped.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Quadrophenia" !
