[meestafeesh]

Man, I LOVE this movie. It brings together all the popular mythology of 70's rock and gives it a coherency. Plus it's an awesome track - thanks, @pietwolff !

[lokaljaya79]

this is my favorite movie

[Bieberlishous13]

I have this on video and we recently gave our video player away or something like that so now i cant watch the video but i LOVE this song i even have it on my phone

[philaustin1000]

A fantastic movie, fantastic empathy and great music. What more does one want? I always cry!!

[cargo71]

I love when she says "Don't you dare...". It kills me every time! This is one of my favourite movies! Even though I saw it only a few times on TV.

[TheMaddoguk]

This film holds more truths about rock music than most would like to believe. Don't get between a musician and his ego, especially if they have had a sniff of success.

[Lee7559]

Why has you tube removed this film ?

FUCKING YOU TUBE ASSHOLES AHHHHHHHHH ! ! ! !

[Dirkchucklebutty]

It's a great film, great music too.

[Altsmum]

I cry at the end of this movie every time I watch it :)

[kaumayam]

amazing that Bill Nighy can sing very very very well!

[4444ThinLizzy]

Oh fuck me!.. Never thought I'd find this song again! Can you say "Shiver Me Timbers"! As the goosebumps stay on my skin !!

[BiancaBilly]

wormtail on drums!

[Burghbhoy1]

well done jimmy. geordie to the end. great actor / singer

[joeramseygh]

catharsis at its best the vulnerable artist joins in! The flame still burns.......

[CaffeLatze]

fantastic movie - and this particular scene makes my eyes go watery every time! rock on Fruits!

[kovalevisgod]

@CaffeLatze Agreed. It really gets me when Connelly hands him the guitar and he's like...yeah, I guess it's time.

[joergenandreas]

greatest ever!

[BecksySmexy1993]

Saw this movie on TV about a year ago and only just remembered it now, I just love it! This song is great too :)

[jockydoodledandy]

i've said it once and i'll say it again. Brings a tear to my eye every time

[DYNABIE]

well this is a friggin awesome song this should have been realesed as a single ,,,,top bannab

[magicface85]

this song gives me a music boner!

[crash2cute]

hello peoples, i love this movie and it's music. what i would like to know though is what genra of rock would strange fruit be? eg: glam, metal, pop. i just really want to find more bands like these guys!

[ramsypak]

I cry every time I see this. What a stupid sod.

Love this film.

[ramsypak]

I cry every time I see this. What a stupid sod. GO FRUITS!!

[aaronmeans1975]

The movie soundtrack is on london records label, I dont know if it is still available

[frostheim25]

Gets me everytime. Fucking beautiful, love it. XD

[smallfacesteve]

Great Tune,Everything just fits. Jimmy Nails voice ,the event, the arrival of Brian on guitar solo..... Hairs on the back of your neck go up...

[3124481731]

Written by Mick Jones of Foreigner -- that is why the song is fabulous!!!!! He is a really brilliant songwriter!!!!! (As well as one of the best rock guitarists -- ever).

[deecanrocks]

great movies and great last scene!

[chismafres]

FUCKIN GREAT MOVIE

[cedunebiere]

awesome!

how can a movie soundtrack be better than most of the records coming out in these days? isn't that weird? where are hidden the music geniuses of the 2000's? and a great and simple movie too....(3d don't mean nothing versus emotion)

[forever804]

Sooo amazing:) the flame does indeed still burn...

[acheekymonkeyuk]

AMAZING!!! JUST AMAZING

This made up band have a better album than all the xfactor, pop idol PISHHH we have now

[pooki82]

amazing movie, amazing scene... AMAZING SONG!

[1mickredirish]

i love this movie some of the greatest songs with that 60's sound i have ever heard.

[socrates1818]

Sappy stuff, man wow.

[Andraste77]

I seldom refer to any male singer's voice as 'beautiful' (Some are 'great,' 'evocative,' 'pleasant,' 'powerful' ...all kinds of positive adjectives, but beautiful male voices are a rarity.)

Jimmy Nail has one of THE most beautiful voices I've ever heard.

[pixieshhh]

@Andraste77 when he's not singing crocodile shoes lmfao

[Andraste77]

@pixieshhh - he likes the high ones to show off on. He's best slightly lower than Crocodile Shoes.

[russoct]

love to see sequel

[Slepaw]

Love the movie, love the song. Not a criticism - I think they meant it as a tribute - but this is 'Lost and Found' by The Kinks (1986). Search for 'kinks lost found'

[Delithien]

Amazing movie, amazing soundtrack.

[darknessoftheasward]

ok who was the prick who disliked this?

no one dislikes the gods

[TheRockbreaker1988]

Just the best music film ever.... absolutely love it...... When is the reunion tour:)

[Lee7559]

The gods of rock and roll have spoken - The flame still burns !

[bendangpongener]

one of my all time fav....i was high but i shed sme tears watching tis awesome mov...

[Ice79cold]

One of The Greatest Songs Ever Written.

[MagicUKsteve]

we want a sequel!!! MORE CRAZY!!!!! (or would that just ruin it)

[Ice79cold]

@MagicUKsteve If the songs and acting are as good as the first film, don't think it would. What a film though - Brilliant!!

[MagicUKsteve]

I got a candle tattoo on my arm for my dad - who I lost when I was 16. Inspired by this film, after all these years the flame still burns.

[xxxaileenxxx11]

Brilliant cast!

Amazing songs!

Fantastic Film!:)

[ChannelOfMen]

Einer der besten britischen Filme.

Die Briten machen eben mitunter die besten Filme der Welt!

[lonestarw0lf]

"epic" sums this up beautifully, i dont think there is a word in the world to explain what this song is, love it

[1mulberrygirl]

so fantastic to hear the guitar playing the melody and not the screaming in the background

[anelera]

Still get goosebumps....

[Chriscooper447]

Such an under rated film!!

amazing songs and great cast :)

[7steffe]

i agree wit above best music for a film ever

[samdew]

wow - so cool

[Lee7559]

I want this played at my funeral.

Fucking awesome song.

[cz9mmauto]

Perfect actors great movie,my #1 in my collection!

[frengerfry]

for the love of true rock n roll, near and dear ones, old people, and true class, cut out of mahogany and crafted into an everlasting moment

[cuddly13able]

i cried when i first watched this film and this song came on, just such a beautiful song

[wegstaff]

i love that song anyone know where i can download it

[chipuraable]

think of syd on the scene like this...

[MojoIglesias]

@chipuraable Syd indeed. Shine On

[chipuraable]

@MojoIglesias what I mean is If Syd Barret would have come back like this, you know he did quit making music and never showed up on stage again... It's chiiling.

[drater7890]

i may be a guy, i maybe 25 but every time i see Brian coming out on the stage i just cry my eyes out :) excellent movie i´d go as fas as saying it´s the best movie ever :)

[QuiltedPine]

@drater7890

to a certain extent, I share your feeling. some might say it's cheesiness, but it's just an almost -perfect ending. It has everything a movie like that should have. And it's realistic because similar things have happened. Plus it's not like they're the greatest band in the world, they're just what people needed at that time, perfect timing perfect song. gotta hand it to Mick Jones and Chris Difford.

[teenonator]

@drater7890 You "may" be a guy?? Just kidding. Totally agree, I wish that a new version with more extras would come out with more extras. I own both the US version, & a region 2, and donated another US DVD to my local library. Cracked me up, at the Red Lion in Avebury(where the reunion luncheon was filmed), the staff had never heard of "Still Crazy".

[boomeister1]

I must have watch this at least 10 times ayear since its release, see british movies are brilliant.......

[stjo555555]

still crazy after 25 years.i love it

[GDBJAfan]

This movie is to freaking funny =D

and they come to holland <3

My birthcountry <33

[scarletbegoniaAlly]

I figure the film is loosely based on the trials and tribulations of Pink Floyd.

And in 2005 during the Live Aid Concert they reunited and "Pigs Flew;" Syd Barrett (still in a hospice during the concert) who was an original founding member died mere months later.

[DakkyS]

where i can download the movie... if someone can give me a link pls ?

[drkanukie]

This is a brilliant moment in a great film, I also like the acoustic version young Brian plays at the beginning to Karen before giving her plectrum . Jimmy Nail was a pub rocker before he turned actor. I agree a very emotional piece in a good way. I stumbled across this movie on a flight to Japan in 2010 and had totally missed it's original release 12 years before - fate had a hand. Also I know Wisbech well and they don't have a rock festival but there is one at Fordham just like the one here.

[danila3198]

super!

[greyeye40]

saw this and my heart melted and that Jimmy is so sexy!

[mooosh2005]

This song soothes my nerves

[recklesscharlie]

Excellent and surprisingly moving film.

Damn that Jimmy Nail can sing!

[kalenen]

My goosebumps GETS! GOOSEBUMPS by this song! my god

[jockydoodledandy]

Seriously. This is the only film that I will openly admit to crying at. Call me soft, I don't care. This song is pure perfection

[kovalevisgod]

@jockydoodledandy Agree 1000%. No movie except this one does that to me. Love when Brian shows up backstage and Connelly hands him the guitar...he hesitates and says..."ah, screw it...give it to me".

[ttocsify]

the flame still burns but Connelly rules

[AnnLi84]

This IS one of my favorite movies - bcos of the songs!!

It has it all. And yes, I still bubble a alittle when they're trying to get Brian back to the band and he turns down. And yes, I still get goozebumps when he enter the stage playing the beautiful, beautiful solo and all around shows that he has been missed...

Just love it!!!!!!!

Sad though I cant find the music on Spotify :(

[corndogyoyo]

great movie great song

[buhdoble]

ADDED TO FAVORITES ♥

[smartbox7000]

when you feel dead, you have a one last oportunity. yes, is so inspiring

[uncleambient]

Thanks Piet for uploading this, i saw it today and laughed and cried in equal measure.  I'm a 45 year old guitarist in a band and this film is so true to life. Great cast, great music, what more could you ask for. Once again, thanks

[titan511]

F-ing Fantastic!!!

I love this movie and wish everyone could experience it. I love this song and wish I could find the movie version, although Jimmy Nails' solo is still great.

[RhosFurey]

what a big memory from my past..."Dont you Dare..."

this song and film means so much to me, especially the song. reminds me of a father figure who gave me and my sister the tarck and he sadly passed away after but the song is very positive...:)

i really want more people to see this movie...:)

[Takac1979]

Fantastic!

[asaltify]

the best song in the world

[brading666]

such an unknown film......but so bloody good !!!

[MrScottypimpin27]

gotta be the best rock-n-roll movie ever....and so many people have never seen it.....

[donktube1981]

'After all this time, the flame still burns' - Brian

[FrenziedEnigma]

Discovered this movie about 6 years ago when I had a newborn and was up nights watching obscure tv channels! Fell in love with the movie and spent years trying to track a copy down. Finally got it - one of my favourite movies of all time, and this final scene gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. Awesome song!!!

[Snuffs36]

i have anxiety, and i want to be a musician. The anxiety kicks in when im in fornt of crowds and i fucking hate it.. im in high school and go to primary schools to perform, but when i step on stage i think about the "MOMENT" when Brian first comes out and i feel unstoppable.. i love this film..

[stjo5555]

timothy spall in it aka bino lolllllllllcrazy guy

[stjo5555]

it's a great movie

[hucleperry]

What a song!!!!!!

[bnracing]

I love this film, the songs are great the actors are great, This final song and All over the world are bloody brilliant, Top film

[HenryChinaski405]

This part of the movie/this video/this song give me the fucking chills every time I see it.

Fucking beautiful.

The part where they sing "All Over The World" makes me smile every time. I cant help it. Its just an automatic reaction.

What a fucking great movie with great songs.

[Sahara36]

Thanks!

[Andraste77]

This film turned me into a HUGE Jimmy Nail fan. Great...now I have to find ALL episodes of Auf Wiedersehen Pet on YouTube since it's not available here any other way. This could take decades.

Still though...have him washed and brought to my tent!

[Katpiratefan275]

I so want this song on my player. I love this movie. Wheres the soundtrack to this movie?

[geewaymylife]

kocham :)

[nelstle]

[Irishtankgod]

[kingsfleet21]

[HumanDichotomy]

This song is amazing, from a great movie...with an awesome soundtrack to boot. The whole thing is just the perfect combination of comedy, emotion, romance...

[godlybug]

[Diecimilagiorni]

[722pm]

This song just kills me! It's too awesome and the movie itself is just badass. LOVE IT!

[hensleyjoshua83]

Billy Connly is the fucking shit

[TheOrthodoxcelt]

Oi, some respect for the old guy! At least he supports the best club in the world CELTIC! What are you, a yank?!

[RatcatcherNo1]

When Brian picks that first note ..... It all makes sense !!

[SirrusX3]

You know it man!

[les995]

@RatcatcherNo1 you're so right.

[williamgeorgefraser]

Fabulous film. Incredible songs. This one must rank amongst the greatest ever written for a film. The guys were brilliant, especially Bill Nighy. But what about Juliet Aubrey? Wow! Gorgeous or what!

If you haven't seen the film - see it!

If you don't have the DVD - buy it or steal it!

If you have the DVD - GET OFF YOUTUBE AND WATCH IT AGAIN!!!

THE GREATSET MUSIC FILM OF ALL TIME!!!!!

[arda2006]

i agree, great cast great music it's my favourite film

[FilmC0llect0r]

@williamgeorgefraser yes it really is!

[darkillity]

[bobosies]

[sylvischatz]

Leute die Musik mögen, müßen den Film ansehen. Der ist so toll, komisch und melancholisch. Wunderbar !!!

This is a brilliant song! And a great movie.

[deyohn]

Love it.

[kristinpe]

[madcarl666]

it should be in the top 10 films to see

[roidhemmer]

yea its bill backin

[myrekrig]

Is that really Bill Nighy singing?

I know it is for a fact Jimmy Nail's own voice, but am a bit unsure about Nighy's....

Anyone?

[daemonomaniac]

Bill Nighy is indeed singing. And he has a great voice, too.

[throbbylovegusset]

I have a video version of this. One of my proudest possesions!

[mywhiskySP]

Same here.....

[santo1959]

An absolutely wonderful movie, one that should / must be seen

[TomPuddin]

Fantastic Movie, funny and sad if youve never seen it then make it your business to get hold of it. fantastic

[BlackBeltBuckle]

The movie is so inspiring. I love it! This is the best rock scene ever! gives me the creeps!

Thanks for sharing this!

[ValsHere]

If you ever get the chance to see this film, you will not be disappointed.

Very heartfelt & magical.

[secordman]
