I've been forcing all my guests this Christmas to listen to Mexican surf-rock band Lost Acapulco's Christmas carols:

Henry Lecunte wins 20 internet points! Hoorah!

Also this in coverage from NZ TV. Watch from 5.20 minutes

If you're a rugby fan and can remember the 1995 World Cup, or if you know anything about recent South African history this looks like a huge untaxing pleasure.
It may be a cliche story, but it is pretty much true:

If you have the great good taste to love Battle of Algeria, you 'll love this too. It's a great film.

I would find by the edge of that water
The white collar bone of a hare
Worn thin by the lapping of water
And pierce it through with a gimlet and stare
At the old bitter world where she married a Focker,
And not laugh over the strained premise
Of all those who meet the Fockers
Through the thin white bone of a hare.

No worst, there is none. Pitched past pitch of crap more films will, schooled at forefilms worser wring. Comforter, where? where is thy comforting?
Babs, mother of Stiller, where is thy retirement?
Viewers heave, herds-long, huddle in a main, a chief woe; world sorrow.

That and desperately wanting to get laid.

Don't be silly that was Julie Delpy. But she did get show her underpants in An Unbearable Lightness of Being.

Another vote here for La Haine, which has some breathtaking moments. The opening sequence is an awesome use of music. I also love where they splice 'Non, je ne regrette rien' with Fuck the Police'.

They both sounded pretty good to me. I lived there for a few years, but found it one of the hardest accents to imitate.
They don't sound like they come from the same area tho. Without claiming to be an expert I'd say in that clip above Thewlis sounds more like a proper Manc, whereas Sharp's accent is slightly softer,…

OED gives Thatcherite as a word, dating from 1976, but not Thatcherian.
