I completely disagree. I think all six seasons are equal in quality, all brilliant, though if I had to choose one single favorite episode it'd be the fifth one of series four.

That's interesting, as most my friends have same consensus; since it came out of cult hiding in Season 3 it's not been as good. Better than most comedy out there but lacking in comparison to 1 & 2, lost some of it's edge

All time favourite bits have to be Jez's interview where he makes the face and the bathtub convo where he laughs out loud at his thought.

It has been a few weeks since I last bought a DVD but it was The Fast and the Furious because my friend recomended it.

Plugging the gaps in my Werner, so to speak.

That's my favourite too. The bit with Jeremy eating the dog leg is priceless.

That's an excellent buy Fenwick. To Live and Die in L.A. is one of my favourite 80's movies; underrated stuff. I even own the CD soundtrack.

Well I bought it on your recommendation, UF. I was desperately looking for a decent thriller that i'd be able to get on the cheap. That fitted the bill. My finger was also contemplating clicking buy on Used Cars, which i've never seen. Sort of regretting that now. Oh well, next batch I guess.

Used Cars is just a great bad taste, screwball comedy. It's well written and has a great cast all giving (in my opinion from what I've seen) career best performances. Russell is an absolute hoot as fast talking, dishonest car salesman Rudy Russo; Jack Warden hilarious in duel roles (especially as evil Roy L.), and Gerritt Graham is brilliant too. It wont appeal to everyone, but as comedies go I think it's one of the best from the 80's. I've seen it well over a dozen times and still laugh. Oh and the dvd commentary with Zemeckis and Russell is almost as funny as the movie.

Here's the fantastic trailer...

Ok, really regretting not getting me some of that now. It looks like a lot of fun.

Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.

Yeah. Plus the lead actress spends the last half of the movie in her underwear.
