It gets an 8/10 from me too. It's rather depressing at times and as I'm closer to Michael Caine's age than Bill Milner's, I'm beginning to empathise with the problems and lack of dignity that aged people endure. I'll probably watch this again and up my rating to a 9/10 at some stage in the future. Bill Milner is one of the best boy actors I've ever seen and he inhabits his characters so realistically one tends to forget he's acting. He's probably my favourite boy actor at the moment. As for Michael Caine, what a great career he's had, one of my favourite actors of all time.

You can always just re-save the png files as jpg files - png is a lossless compression, and so re-saving them will make no difference to the quality than if you'd saved them as jpg files originally.

I wondered if it was a personal photo. It's a sweet pic.

That may be the ugliest haircut I've ever seen in my life. It almost makes Bill look ugly, but thankfully he's too handsome for that to happen, even with that hair. I saw from the trailer that he seems to go through several different haircuts in the movie, though, so there's hope.

Such a good actor, too. I got to get my hands on some of those movies. Loved him in Son of Rambow.

Mullets were very popular during the 80s. They looked great on boys, but I don't think they suited grown up men all that well. The only hairstyle I can think of that I'd call ugly is what was called a 'crew cut' here in the 60s, sometimes referred to a a 'buzz cut' or 'military cut'. They make boys look like total bogans or boof heads.
