    others might not appreciate this movie but its my all time favourite

    great film for all of you offbeat romantics - there must be a few of us out there

    i got into his film in a pretty dark point in my life

    but even tho im in a far happier situation lifewise nowadays its still my alltime favourite film

    it might be unsophisticated in many ways but its brilliant in many others

    simple lines like "who the f**k are you then"

    and "bloody hippies" take on real comic moments in this film

    if you get the opportunity WATCH IT

    a simple but ultimately rewarding way to spend 120 mins

    ps im perfectly sane even tho ive seen this over 150 times

    Unoriginal but honest little offering.

    Needles is Mr "every crim"...doesn't even have a name. Loser of a small-time thief who makes the dubious acquaintance of shoplifter Miss Jones, who also carries no name. He had actually planned on stealing her car just as a matter of record.

    The two socially outcast losers hit it off and embark on a short term spree much along the lines of a "no frills" Bonnie and Clyde!

    Ultimately purposeless little flick but not too badly acted I have to admit. Way better than the recent IMPOSTER at least!
