With a great young cast steel the show.
A British comedy hist caper set in a fictional town of Glasgow, (no relation to any real place known by that name). In the deprived city landscape a group of desperate young men plan a robbery of Stainless Steel sinks, along the way we find that at least one of them enjoys exploring his female side. From the mind of Bill Forsyth, BAFTA award winner. With a great young cast. I saw this film on release and fell in love with it, and now to own a hi-res copy that I can view is great. The story and characters have a timeless quality at the same time being a slice of social history that is I think important to be preserved.
