It's almost perfect.

A comedy written by the man who created Fawlty Towers and directed by the man who gave us The Lavender Hill Mob.
I remember settling on Channel 4 when it was shown on Christmas Eve years ago- first time I'd seen it, I was 12, but I laughed so much at the steam-roller scene, I had tears in my eyes.
I love converting people who've never seen it.

I'm watching it right now on Starz. I hope you have seen it unedited. A good sign of a great comedy is if it can stand the test of time, this movie is just as hilarious as it was in 1988.

I have indeed seen it unedited, just gets better every time. Check out Fierce Creatures if you haven't seen it, and while no Wanda, it's underrated and contains some brilliant farce.

I haven't seen it. I will have to check it out. You will put it on my list.
