Do you want to go to the toilet, Albert?😂

Between Carter and the Long Good Friday that bookend the 70s there were virtually no films made in the Uk (excepting Carry Ons, Confessions of, and sitcom adaptations). Carter is a horrible man, far removed from any gangster glamour (Bob Hoskins’ Harold Shand has one foot in legitimate business and a shiny new London emerging in the old docks). There is also a lot of reference to the Poulson scandal that was a a big story in the 60s, it’s all dirt, soot, and monochrome misery.

It is a superb film, and one of my all time favourites. I used to make Carter’s train journey up to Newcastle as a child in the late 70s, so I’ve always the opening sequence very evocative. Roy Budd’s soundtrack music, with the tabla drums is distinctive, and at the end of the film when Carter is left lying on the beach, chilling - it works brilliantly. Years later I studied in Newcastle - it wasn’t quite as run down as portrayed in the film, but certain elements such as the Gateshead flats and car park (nicknamed the Alf Roberts car park), the conveyor from the colliery out to sea, and some of the derelict quayside buildings and terraced houses were still there - this was before Newcastle and Gateshead received large sums of redevelopment funding. A great film - not sure it’s the greatest British film, but it’ll always be one of my favourites - just don’t attempt the Get Carter drinking game!

My favourite. I like how you realise the killer is in the.......... Oh I'll not say in case anybody hasn't watched it 😂😂😂

Excellent and intelligent review, always been held in high esteem by myself, a very powerful and memorable performance by Michael Caine, a classy and classic revenge-thriller that has few-if any-equals. A true classic of the genre, it never ages for me. The film is a nihilistic scream of rage for a crumbling society and its values ; Carter lives by the sword only to die from its unfeeling, double-dealing edge.

Little T and A is the best song ever!

Cynicism, and judgemental attitudes. What a boring world we live in now. This was wonderful entertainment for all the family❤️

A superb film never tire of watching it.

I Am The Walrus, Lennon’s gobbledygook masterpiece song as no place as a B- side to Hello Goodbye, itself undoubtedly a brilliant simple pop song by Paul it should be classed as a double A Side. But you can say the same about Don’t Let Me Down & Rain.

Love the movie but can never understand why Carter has no trace of a North East accent.

Great review of one my top 5 films of all time.👍

the past is another country, great film

many a happy days playing on that beach from a child to a teenager, coming home dirty and hungry. the conveyer was called the aerial flight. some kids rode in it then jumped out before the drop was too high. Dont know if anyone was hurt or killed.

Lawrence of Arabia says Hi!

Your a big man but your out of condition.i do this for a living best line in a movie ever

I remember that talentless, fat, weirdo, Ken Russell, slagging the Carry Ons off something terrible and actually announcing that all who enjoyed them were middle class snobs who liked to laugh at the proletariat! Utter bollocks. He was obviously just gutted that none of his rubbish ever earnt a fifth of what the Carry Ons did. I have to say though, Barbara Windsor was NEVER thought of as a wonderful actress at all. 'Sparrows Cant Sing' is highly forgettable yet some place it alongside 'Cathy Come Home'!! Watch Babs in 'Carry On Dick' - arguably her most cringe inducing performance - she is so pantominic and fake its painful to behold. It is no wonder after the Carry Ons she mainly survived by doing panto, kids programmes (Worzel Gunmidge a good case in point. Jon Pertwee, Geoffrey Bayldon, Una Stubbs et al all played it straight and delivered wonderful performances....Barbara was barabra yet again, only on castors) and chat shows. Look at Joan Sims' career compared to Windsors.... theres the talented dramatic actress.

Yes...100% The Best British film ever made

Actually, the greatest British film is thought to be "Don't Look Now." Get Carter is an exercise in Masculine Toxicity at its pinnacle. Fuck that. That's some tiresome shit.

Long live frank marker, first class TV watched it first time around early 70s, and come across it again on talking pics TV, so I bought the box sets to watch any time I want, Alfred made the part realistic smooth and slowly true class, thank you.

Piss holes in snow

There's alway great emotion in his voice.

The days when comedy wasn't politically correct.

great actor, great man, great bit of British T.V..

Maybe Joe Cole would consider completing the series😮???

Not a word about Hatty Jakes?

The first two notes of the theme are recognizable as that of a UK overland train horn tone; clearly the inspiration. Still used to this day on the railways. I hear it quite often, living near the tracks. In my mind, the classic tune automatically follows on.

His solos in Memory Motel. Perfect

Really interesting. Thank you.

Nah ... Withnail - always Withnail and im from Newcastle 😎

Nice to see some other guitarists get some credit for once, nice list all great players except I don't know number 1

Good round up of a great British film, possibly the finest of its genre. I first saw Get Carter at the cinema on its release in 1971 at the age of seventeen and even then realising I had watched a classic, can clearly remember the deafening silence of the audience as the credits rolled, an almost ghostly hush. As I’ve caught up with this fine movie through the years, it continues to reveal. The hit man at the end with the J gold ring was actually in the same train carriage as Carter at the beginning of the movie. Thus perhaps Carters demise was already planned by his London bosses knowing what he was truely capable of, a fact that the Northern crime syndicate had absolutely no idea what kind of hell was about to unleash on them as Carter took his revenge and his set of skills away from the darkness and into the light. Hopefully the likes of Netflix can get Get Carter and spread the word and find an ever bigger audience.

My fave Keith vocals are Something Happened To Me Yesterday and Salt Of The Earth. His voice perfectly compliments Mick's!

I'm sorry but I prefer The Long Good Friday. Maurice Micklewhite is good but Hoskins usurps this piece of fine work.

U try bein in the STONES for 20 years & cut a record HALF as good as undercover or dirty work. Slim chance!

Don't forget the connection

Dit is geen muziek,dit is kunst!

...also Casino Royale (2006), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) among the greatest British films...📽

YES. It is.

You'd have to add The Long Good Friday and Sexy Beast to that declaration.

Great film. Worst fight choreography on record - seen more realistic pantomimes.

Everything seems fast and over the top nowadays but watching this series it's great to see the little things that everyone does and not rushed like making a cup of tea or walking into a shop you can visualise what's happening i love it

Lynn & Alfred my kind of thespians.

Still love this film, in all its grittiness and Carter's moral and mental dissolution. It's hard to imagine Carter surviving long, even if he wasn't killed in the film (or as Glenda says it, "Fillum"). His boss would've had him hunted and brought in... sort of like the end of "The Hit," another of my favorite British gangster fillums.

John McLaughlin

Just the opening kills me, the train, the music, Caine. OMG. Brings tears to my eyes how good it is.

no Performance is...

Best gangster film ever. Understated, gritty, truly English. Great actors. Superb.

I think the Stones music was better than the Beatles that and they lasted for over 60 years the Beatles less than a decade on top

… Steve Hackett, Andrew Latimer?

I love all of them ❤❤❤❤❤❤
