I took a break from going through travel photos and watched The Long Good Friday, which is a 1980 british gangster-type movie featuring Bob Hoskins as the gangster/businessman/developer and Helen Mirren as his wife. Lots of other good actors (nice sinister cameo by Pierce Brosnan) and some great great cars. There is also some pretty great music (check this). Hoskins is amazing; he's done a lot of goofy movies, but forget all that and see this. There's a beautiful closing shot too, that reminds me of the ending of The Third Man, or Glenn Close's bit in the mirror in Dangerous Liaisons.

Featuring a young Pierce Brosnan as well... excellent movie.
