Gregory's Girl

“Okay Mr. Spaceman. I’ll walk you home.”





It's amazing how the memory works

I had only seen this movie once. It was about ten years ago. Tonight I watched it again, and for the last twenty minutes of the movie, I anticipated every line, every expression of the characters, accurately and vividly as if I had seen it yesterday. I discovered once again why I have always claimed this film to be my favourite. It’s funny, honest, nostalgic and hopeful. This is how you tell a story. They don’t make movies like this anymore. There’s something charming in every scene, every line.

A movie like this more than cheers me up from a broken day.

  • I myself saw Gregory's Girl quite some time back, more than your 10 years, I think. One of the actresses in there went on to sing in a band, but unfortunately it was short-lived.

    I really like that one scene in which someone asked if he would like his coffee white. He thought a while and replied, in a very broad Scottish accent: "Brown".

    That was so funny!
