This poll can only be answered one way.

Now I have to go out and buy a fishtail parka like I had when i was a young un and into 2nd wave mod

I do not like the implications of this poll. I will not vote. One of the Phil Daniels will feel put out.

Kostas · 08-12-2009, 07:45 PM

I cannot vote. No Phil Daniels in the list.

daffy4u · 08-12-2009, 08:20 PM

Need I say more!

Donnageddon · 08-12-2009, 08:49 PM

In that case I am definitely voting for Peggy Lipton!

Donnageddon · 08-12-2009, 08:51 PM

I also believe our lovable bunch of moderators be formally known as "The Mod Squad" henceforth!

Dylrob · 08-12-2009, 08:56 PM

Hmm, it would seem that I accidentally voted for Pat Buchanan.

Dang, Daffy! I just got home from work and saw this... I quickly grabbed a pic and was all ready to post and as I scrolled down... BAM!!

My yea!--no-one-has-thought-of-this-yet bubble was burst!! You beat me to it!

Is it the era thing, the long lost sibling thing, or the abstract twin thing?

So.... Michael Cole, Clarence Williams III or Peggy Lipton

Phil Daniels, and the movie, Quadrophenia are British institutions

Every kid growing up in the 80's watched Quadrophenia. Phil Daniels was the cheeky star of that film and also later on in life did a bit of a double act with the Britpop group, Blur (the video which I've linked below).

Phil is the cheeky cockney monkey speaking the lyrics

Umm...What happened to "THE BLUE ONE NEXT TO THE FISH"?? I think it's omission invalidates the poll

***Yelled in that tone of voice only young kids have when tattle telling on each other OR in that huffy, OMG I can't believe this is happening to me voice that teenagers use when complaining about life and having to put up with a selfish sibling who only wants to ruin their life****

And this movie was kind of like the American kids watching F B's Day off / The Breakfast Club / and West Side Story? (American institution point)

We watched all of those too, but we had some of our own home-grown British films that were more...in-tune shall I say, with the youth.

I would put these films on the list as highly influential during the 80's (some were made before that decade though)

Quadrophenia
Tommy
Scum
Made In Britain
My Beautiful Laundrette
A Clockwork Orange
A Letter to Brezhnev
Kes
Educating Rita

I've only seen Clockwork Orange and Tommy.... I feel so deprived

Out of them all I'd say watch Kes first. Kes is possibly Britain's "Old Yeller". It's about a working class boy who finds an injured Kestrel (Kes) and rears it up by himself. In the process he finds that there's something beyond the bleakness of his surroundings. I don't know many people from the North of England who didn't watch Kes and read the book it was taken from in school.

Kes is one of a couple of books that were favoured in a lot of Northern English schools when I grew up. The other was the little known "A Pair of Jesus Boots".

Here's a trailer (I've just found out Kes is from 1970!

)
