I was wondering whether people would like to mention some of their favourite quotes from Kes... There are hundreds of great lines, of course, but I s'pose some...
The library scene is one of my favourites too. The bit that follows - at the second-hand bookshop - has a nice bit of ironic humour, when one of the customers...
I watched Kes again last night and found one scene which always sticks out for me: towards the end of the film when Billy has to see the Youth Employment...
I have to agree with you there casper_billy, much of the best of Barnsley has been torn down in the past to make way for the concrete monstrosities. Only now...
Good to hear from you again, Terry.<br><br>Wouldn't it be nice to pop over to Barnsley for a pint and some chips... Unfortunately, with the present exchange ...
Terry, that's a great idea, but I'm afraid Freycinette has hit the nail on the head - after conducting an investigation into our separate finances and putting...
So casper_billy has a real name. Hi Stella, so I don't get to take two young girls from Tasmania out for a drink in my home town? We have the greatest ...

Hello everyone. It's been a bit quiet here lately, so I thought I might try to spur some of you on to post a message or two - especially those who haven't done...
I agree about Chris Menges photography. The atmosphere of the film is so tangible - as I read in one review, you can almost smell the chips. The light is ...
Ayup everybody just joined your club today, I'm mick I'm from the great town itself and love the film. I attended St Helens School where some of the filming...
