"I'm sitting here watching short circuit with my son as he's not seen it and it got me thinking what other films should I give him an education about?"
Short circuit 2 is good too.
I'd recommend "remo williams" based on a comic book, really good fun. |

Yes, me and my flat mate at the time had it on VHS tape and used to watch at least once a week for the best part of 2 years….
I can probably still recite the script off by heart to this day….. I still find it funny even now…. |

If you're after some hard hitting drama I'd recommend some Alan Clark films from the 80s.
The firm
Made in Britain
Scum
Most folks have seen rita sue and bob too, which is probably his most lighthearted. |
