Wow. Ended up staying up to watch Gangster No. 1 (2000). The first time I’ve seen it since I bought an old school #FilmFour DVD of it in 2001 (I still remember buying it in fact) and I always thought it wasn’t great. In fact, I can confirm it’s still pretty terrible now!

We all have to except our fate, and Bob Hoskins’ Harold Shand knows that this is it in The Long Good Friday (1980). Listen to the latest episode #BBCRadio3’s #SoundOfCinema with @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social which is all about Endings: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
