    Just thought I would put this in here cause its more of a music thing.

    Has anyone seen Sid and Nancy???

    Watched it for the first time in years last night very impressed I still am with it.

    Though not sure how factual it actually is its definitely a good watch.

    Watch it if you haven't seen it, especially if your a fan of punk...

    I tried watching it years ago but turned it off after 10 minutes.

    It's a decent enough film but not something you'd watch more than once. I also found Chloe Webb's portrayal of Nancy a bit annoying.

    Did I see it,I think.I did but I cant remember really,maybe I need a refresh.
    The Wall and the Doors film would be two of the best music films I have seen.I am open to any more suggestions?

    She must have played her quite accurate then, she was meant to have been like that.

    Sid and Nancy is a brilliant film. I was fortunate enough to see it when it came out in the States. Two of life's greatest lessons.

    'Love Kills' and 'Never trust a junkie.'

    I read the book written about Nancy by her mother, thought it was very good. She comes across as a difficult kid, all right...

    In that case she did a good job :)

    I read as well that Courtney Love auditioned for the role of Nancy. And while she didn't get the role, they created a character for her in the film instead.

    It's a great film - Gary Oldman could play the shark in Jaws and be convincing - but like John Lydon said:

    "Well, at least they got our names right."

    Good film and even better soundtrack.
