    • Trivia

    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Daniel: When you're at school and you want to quit, people say 'You're going to hate it out in the world.' Well, I didn't believe them and I was right. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be grown up, and they said 'Childhood is the best time of your life.' Well, it wasn't. And now, I want his company and they say, 'What's half a loaf? You're well shot of him'; and I say 'I know that... but I miss him, that's all' and they say 'He never made you happy' and I say 'But I am happy, apart from missing him. You might throw me a pill or two for my cough.'

      [pauses, smiles]

      Daniel: All my life, I've been looking for somebody courageous, resourceful.

      [pause, thinks]

      Daniel: He's not it... but something. We were something.

      [pause]

      Daniel: I only came about my cough.

    Should have received a Best Picture nomination
    I recently saw Sunday, Bloody Sunday and thought it was brilliant. I was suprised it came out in 1971, it is definitely ahead of its time. The highlight of the movie is Peter Finch's role - it took guts to take a role like this back then. I'm glad he eventually went on to win the oscar for Network.
