liberty valance was indeed a good wayne movie.  It is easy to underestimate Wayne until you notice him holding his own with huge actors/actress's in the movies they are together in.   James stewart did a really good job in liberty valance.

ROFL! Watched it last night. I can see why Lazs had to turn on the subtitles. I'm sure Lazs would have been confused by lines like "The grub in 'ere's so good, it'll make your bollocks tingle" :lol Also, I don't expect Lazs to have known what was meant by "a grass" or "to grass someone up".

I didn't need the subtitles, but I did backspace to hear some lines a second time. Part of the problem was that the music track was too loud, and on several occasions drowned out the dialogue. Plus I had a good belly laugh about xxxx's phone call with Dragon -

"we can meet here for breakfast. I can squeeze some juice and grind some coffee..... do you know where I live?"

"No."

"Well ***k off then"

yep... there was a lot of badly slurred expressions that only brits use in any case along with a heavy music soundtrack.   I got the tip to turn on english subtitles from a friend and I was glad I did.

still...it was a pretty funny action movie.   Not as good as lock stock and two smoking barrels tho.

Lazs - you really should get Essex Boys. I think it was better than either of the other two. The event depicted by the poster is a true event - the Range Rover murders of 1995. All the rest is supposedly fiction, but they had to say that, didn't they? I've read the book, and the events in the film have strong parallels...
