Any particular genres?

Rob Compton · 02-10-2007, 12:15 PM

Any book on British cinema would give you these titles.

10 minutes research in the library?

It might be interesting to compare examples of a genre from different decades. For gangster movies, try Brighton Rock (1947) Get Carter (1971) and Lock, Stock and two Smoking Barrels (1998).

I picked up The Film Guide No 7 Virgin for 50p at the boot sale. Great info in there.
