The official BFI 38th best British film ever...
I would have to be very passionate about it to put in that time and effort, which I'm not. It's a fascinating film as it is, but I'd rather see a professional remake than try to fanedit it. The way Hollywood goes, I'm surprised they haven't done it yet.
I don't put much stock in critics' lists, btw. They always skew too artsy and like to fashion themselves quite smart after the fact. I have great respect for films which can repeatedly capture an audience and move them, more so than ones which indulge the director and a dedicated group of cinephiles. In fancier days, they probably would've called me a Philistine.
