A seering indictment of 80s Britain under the Tories and as relevant now 30 years later as it was then. History keeps repeating itself. This is a timeless work of art.

Impossible not to be moved by this. Extraordinary performance. I think his wife June shown in this video died not so long after this was shot so even more poignant and sad.

So captivatingly beautiful. My entire week has immeasurably improved just watching this.

Not sure how Britain can be number 3 above Russia, France and Germany. I'm guessing the person compiling this is a Brit.

I came upon this by accident not even having heard of this film before. The quality of my week has, since watching it, immeasurably improved ! Breathtakingly beautiful.

3D has a thousand yard stare just every bit as intense as John Lydons'. A face to stop a clock. In a good way.

Why bother pretending Creationism is an explanation for the origin of life when all the evidence points to the contrary ? To teach it in schools gives it a dignity and an intellectual respectablility that it does not deserve. To teach children that it is intellectually the equal of Evolution does...

I vaguely remember wandering into a wrong screen at a cinema and watching this in 2005 when I should have seen something else. One of the better mistakes that I made. It's an uplifting wonderful experience. Miranda July is such a talent.

So ahead of its time. To think just 8 years separates this track from 'Hard Days' Night'. So much progress in that short time. Go back to 2004 - not come that far have we ?

To Britain Fan who said that "Thatcher left the country in a better place than she found it". What planet are you living on ? Presumably you did alright and I'm guessing you weren't one of the millions who lost their jobs as a consequence of her scorched earth policies. She and her ilk were a who...

Ah - the memories the memories. Classic classic classic wonderful Liverpool 30 years ago - great place to live then - and now.

Those guys in the backround look like Nazis.

Just imagine what the Top of the Pops audience must have thought of this 30 years ago ! So far ahead of its time.

It's a tedious cliche but they really don't write stuff like this anymore. Put up against anything from the past 15 or so years and this will surpass all of it.

Timeless and epic. Still sends a shiver down the spine like it did first time around 30 years ago.

Gems like this conspicuous by their absence nowadays. Captures time and place so beautifully. The 15 or so who said they 'disliked' this clearly you wouldn't want to go down the pub with.

The best thing they ever did. Spine chilling guitar and bass. Stopped me dead in the tracks when I first heard it 25 years ago. Still has that effect.

Up there with anything else that's been recorded in the past 50 years. Should have been number one for months and months and months!

This was so ahead of its time 30+ years ago. I wish the original line up could bury their differences and start playing together again. I saw them at the Rainbow in London Boxing Day 1978 and that show remains etched into the memory. Fantastic band. Great times.

It's possible. What could be the connection ? Berlin 1988 ? Keele before that ? Exeter before that ?

I don't know what this is about and it doesn't matter because it is jaw droppingly original and unique and if they had never existed Earth would have been a duller more pointless place.

Awe inspiringly unique.

The perfect film to watch when things aren't going quite right. You watch it and all of a sudden the world really does seem a better place !

Impossible not to argue with the logic of what he says. But isn't it depressing that after the criminal negligence that led to the banking collapse in 2008 and the consequent use of public money to shore up the financial system which we ordinary folk are now having to pay back through vicious pub...

Just pointless, moronic, irrelevant, meaningless bullshit.

This must be what Heaven is like musically. I listen to this and it's like everything's actually ok - no need to get riled up by anything at all really.

Fantastic song, fantastic film. Impossibly moving.

Just perfect.

It just gets no better than that. This track is thirty years old, this gig was seventeen years ago, I work in the live music business and I know I'll never experience anything quite like this.

The unacceptable faces of Capitalism. The perfect argument for Marxism.

Whatever happened to Dipp ? I used to be good friends with him in Exeter many years ago. A talented man. Anyone know ?

Cliched I know but they really don't write lyrics like this anymore.

It just washes over you. So easy, so uplifting, so good !

For someone just now getting into The Fall what would be the first five albums I should be getting ?

He really wasn't very nice was he ? I guess those attention seekers leaving messages complemetary of him are perhaps just a little too young and / or don't know enough about his life to realise he really isn't worthy of any sort of affection at all. Read your history. Listen to the stories of the...

Excellent music......but who is it ?

I was in Kiev last January and was amazed by the sheer beauty and grandeur of the place. Particularly stunning in the snow ! Strongly recommended to all !

Reading some of the comments posted here we don't appear to have learnt very much do we ? Hang your heads in shame all of you who feel anything less than horror and revulsion at what happened on our own continent in our own parents lifetimes.

Pyonyang looks a bit like Hull - but with wider streets.

Perhaps one day people will give this kind of socialism another go. Nothing could be more wrong that to argue that because the USSR failed that there is an inevitability about all subsequent attempts at a planned economy failing. The Marxist analysis remains appropriate now as it was 150 years ag...

In a field. Tripping. 1981. Being stared at by a cow. The sun rising. This track on my walkman. Great flashback.

- Ach das ist die Welt in der wir leben ! Korrupt und faul. Shame nicht viele scheinen nicht mehr kummern.
