Default Movie recommendation

Anyone here of a 'certain age' and into renting movies might be interested
to rent the very enjoyable 'The Boat That Rocked':

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1131729/


At least an OK little comedy (if a little *Brit*) set onboard a North Sea
pirate radio station in the 60s. Overdone and underdone in all the right
places, I think it captures the 'zeit' fairly well with plenty of lovely 60s
colour, fashion, chicks and snatches of music (on vinyl, of course) from the
60s and 70s.

(Spot Kenneth Branagh absolutely *nailing* the role of Captain Mainwaring in
any possible future remake of 'Dad's Army!)
