Rating: - Yes!
The book that this movie is based on, made me fall in love with modern Englishmen. And the movie is just wonderful and so enjoyable.
Rating: - The Amis Papers
The Rachel Papers was culled from the thinnly veiled autobigraphical first novel of Martin Amis published in 1973, and subsequently made into a film in 1989. The protagonist, and therefore an ego projection of Martin Amis, is Charles Highway. Portraying Highway in the film was Dexter Fletcher, who looks exactly as he sounds: mouth-wise he's a mite Jaggeresque.

Rating: - An Extra Star For the Skye
This is quite a 2-Star movie. The extra star is for all the nude scenes with Ione Skye. If that's what you're after, then rent this one. I wish I'd seen this when I was 13 and all the American movies with Skye were teases. This one pays off.
Rating: - THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE MOVIE - GET IT!!
I'm 39 and STILL love this movie. Saw it first while in my 20's and this is still one of my favorite movies of all time!! Ione Skye is stunning in this movie - you definitely won't be disappointed!! Saw her recently in a television show about the FBI and she doesn't look NEARLY as good as she did in this movie. Her personality was also very good in this movie. James Spader is pretty good too. Sad to say, I STILL can't find a copy of the soundtrack, which is GREAT!!
