The first Waterloo Sunset (1967)
A lyrical masterpiece classic, setting a beautiful scene strong in the head. Can you imagine standing on the bridge, has seen it allScenes around you. My favorite line: "As long as I look at Waterloo Sunset I am in heaven."
The second Village Green Preservation Society (1968)
