Absolutely fantastic film in all aspects, this one goes down as my all time favorite..! Since I was born in Bradford the local film scenes bring back lots of memories from that era.
try and get keith waterhouse books he wanted julie christie for the role and got her city lights is my favourite book but they are all good and if you can see his mate peter o'toole in jeffrey barnard is unwell that is in my opinion his best stage performance.
Tom Courtney was also in The lonliness of the long distance runner by Alan Sillitoe. Saturday night and Sunday morning is also a fantastic british film of the 60s, stars Albert finney, great book too
I absolutely agree I am singing it twenty hours a day it’s so catchy just love it I want it on repeat all day and night would love more information on twisterralla sons and band
A great example of what happens when you lie, lie and lie your way through life. Which I think is what Keith Waterhouse was trying to convey. It's like driving down a one way street day after day. You will come out unscathed most of the time with maybe nothing more than a few scratches and bruises. But there will come a day when your luck runs and you crash head on with a lorry. Lie too much, and they will catch up with you in one almighty crash on one horrible day.
Yes, just found out about the Billy Liar connection. The lyrics on most sites for Ride's 'Twisterella' show: "Look at Twisterella, she hasn't got a fella", but it could be "Cookie Twisterella' as it sounds similar, and if you didn't know the original, it would make sense. It doesn't help that the two lines at the end of the song are deep in the mix, so not super clear...
love this film especially the rockers outside terrorising the birds outside the Locarno,fuckin brill...Do you know if this song was released at all????
Brilliant film never fails to make me laugh no matter how many times I watch it, British comedy films at their best
Always loved this film. I guess we are all Billy Liars or fantasists in our own way.
Such a brilliant film 😂 watch it over and over..billy tell me about are cottage in Devon with rosses round the front door..

One of my favorite films of all time.
Yank who loves Brit films of this era, and Tom Courtenay was just incomparable in his heyday. Someone PLEASE post the whole film!

For a Yank you've got great taste, I'm a true Brit who doesn't like many American films can't beat a great British film

Wow! No wonder Julie Christie became a star...she has the most remarkable face. You can't take your eyes off of her!
Did the blonde say, "... Look what's crawled out of the corned beef?"
I've got Cookie Twisterella in my head for good, now. Damn song.

I love Billy Liar…first saw it as a kid in the 80’s…via The Smiths and Morrissey’s live for Kitchen Sink Dramas

@@mungofinalfi4480 Thanks Mungo. I checked out the acoustic live version and the lyrics are "Look at Twisterella", not "Cookie Twisterella"...
