  This &quot;quiet film&quot; still echoes 40 years on. One of those films that I&apos;ll stop and watch if it&apos;s on TV, however many times I&apos;ve seen it.

  Without doubt a big part of the success of this film is Mark Knopfler&apos;s soundtrack especially during the end sequences.

  After listening to the interviews by crew and actors, my conclusion is; What a brilliant bunch of people was assembled to make this gorgeous, unforgettable film, and how lucky we are that this happened. I only wish this making of mentioned how Mark Knopfler was brought into this production, because the music was so vital to the mood of the film.

  I just watched this movie last night for the 1000th time. I smile every time at the last scene where the phone box is ringing. Great film.

  Truly one of the best films ever - or, at least one of my top favorites. :) &nbsp;Everyone should see this movie.

  This film mesmerised me from start to finish. It leaves one with a happy feeling and in no idea WHY.

  &quot;The minor planet &apos;7345 Happer&apos; is named after Lancaster&apos;s character in the film and his quest to have a comet named after him.&quot;
