I know there are a lot of members from the UK here, so in honor of Thatcher's demise, I give you Made In Britain

^good film that. I watched it with my Gran when I was 8 years old, which is kind of weird because she never used to let me watch Grange Hill or Top Of The Pops.

I'm old enough to remember the Reagan/Thatcher era. I remember seeing Made in Britain on PBS, which is roughly the American equivalent of the BBC. The movie really made a lasting impression on me....and I became a lifelong fan of Tim Roth. One of the most astonishing scenes in that movie, for me at least, was the scene where Tim Roth is running through a tunnel screaming abuse at passing motorists. One of the cars was a Chevrolet Suburban. I was like, WTF? That's something I would never expect to see on a motorway in the UK.

I also remember all the great punk music that came out of the UK at that time. The pure vitriol and malevolence was fantastic.

Anarchy In The UK

What did anyone expect? You take away people's livelihoods and freedoms, they are not going to thank you for it.
