06.02.2026 22:48 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It has no plot and songs that are both instantly forgettable and teeth-grindingly naff. Itโs blatantly sexist. Cliff drives a hovercraft up the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal at one point.

First time watch tonight: Straight Time (1978) starring a never better Dustin Hoffman as a recently released ex-con. How have I never seen this before? Itโs phenomenal.

Big thanks to Mubi for a New Year celebration kit, to promote Rodrigo Sorogoyenโs series The New Years. Iโm a huge fan of Sorogoyenโs terrific drama The Beasts, so this is top of my watch list.
