3. Alfie 1966

"Get Your Knee off the steering wheel"
It's hard to believe their was a time when we couldn't watch movies on demand. With the coming of video this was another film that got played to death at my flat in Fitzroy North. Usually watched with a bunch of guys this is one film I found the girls didn't really appreciate. I suppose refering to a girlfriend as "it" didn't adhere the Alfie character to the females in our crowd.Actually I don't think one girl I knew would watch the film all the way through.
another film full of great quotes

Mind you, she came over quite beautified for a while, particularly during the early months. And I told her: I said "Blimey, girl, you ain't as ugly as I thought".


: She's got a little ginger moustache. But I find I'm quite willing to overlook the odd blemish in a woman, providing she's got something to make up for it. Well, that's what we're all here for, innit - to help each other out in this life. 


and so on.


As you can tell by my first choices in favourite films more often than not Michael Caine is in a lot of them. He's made some shockers but when he's in a good movie he's brilliant.
I showed my mate Johnny J this film one day and he was particularly amused to the point of almost choking to death during the scene where Alfie as a black spot on his lung. "God help me!"
