4.3 out of 5 stars (5)

A definitive guide to the history and location of Britain's most famous cult movies, from "A Hard Day's Night" to "Trainspotting", with dozens of interviews, unseen photographs, maps and film sites - and how to find them. In the 1990s, an industry has grown up around certain British cult movies - soundtracks, videos, Internet sites and fully-fledged cinema reissues. The makers of these films have become icons of cool, revered throughout the worlds of film, music and fashion. But what makes these films into lifestyles? This text tells why and how. Ali Catterall and Simon Wells have talked to writers, filmmakers and eyewitnesses, and scouted dozens of location sites to create the definitive history of and guide to over 30 years of British cult movies.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ali Catterall is an award-winning writer, journalist, filmmaker and editor, whose writing has been featured in Time Out, GQ, Film4, Word magazine and the Big Issue, among many others. He has also been a weekly TV previewer for the Guardian since 1997.

In 2001, he co-authored Your Face Here: British Cult Movies Since the Sixties, and in 2018 edited Scala Cinema 1978-1993 by Jane Giles, winner of the 2019 Kraszna-Krausz Award - the only award dedicated to books about the moving image.

In 2021, he co-wrote Kindness (A User's Guide), with Kitty Collins. He claims zero bragging rights to this concept, and is just trying to figure it all out like the rest of us.

In 2024, his debut film SCALA!!!, co-directed with Jane Giles, was released to critical and commercial acclaim, with four and five stars across the board in the national press, and regularly selling out on Blu-ray. A major feature-length documentary about London's notorious and influential Scala Cinema, it was produced by the BFI and Channel X (Detectorists, Home, Vic and Bob). He now won't write another word of film criticism ever again.

He is also working on a memoir about his bizarre childhood.

    Trivia/Not trivia for the obsessive like me, or true movie fans. I love mooching around sites where things like this happened and are still visitable. Filming is an historical event too, and its sites and locations as fascinating to me as the death spots of Thomas a Becket or Julius Caesar.
