blue money

I have seen this film once and thought it was brilliant i would like to see it again but have no idea where to obtain it.i have told friends about it and they tell me they would, the acting is very good and Tim curry plays a brilliant part its also funny.I have not seen any other films with Tim Curry in so i cannot compare it with any of is other films,therefore if there is any Tim Curry fans out there this is a film for you,it will keep you in your seat from start to finish with a lot of action and a lot of laughs. I do not watch a lot of television so i may have put it on by chance i am very pleased i did.Because this film kept me in my seat,the main part of the film i can remember is Tim Curry as a taxi driver i am now a taxi driver myself and often think of this film while i am taxi driving.
