24 Hour Party People

Naff title (despite the pedigree), good film. I recorded 24 Hour Party People off the TV last week and watched it last night (as I'd managed to miss it when it came out in the cinema in 2001). A quite enjoyable chronicle of the halcyon days of Manchester from the late 70s to the early 90s, when New Order and the Happy Mondays cranked out the hits at Factory Records, and the Hacienda was the hottest club on the planet. Then it all came crashing down...last I heard, the Hacienda has been converted into luxury flats.
