Movieline, March 1993
Morrissey
"My relentless obsession with British films of the '40s, '50s and '60s has had an overwhelming influence on everything I've ever written. The list of favorites could be endless:
The Killing of Sister George (1969),
It Always Rains on Sunday (1947),
Poor Cow (1967),
The Leather Boys (1963),
Yield to the Night (1956),
Flame in the Streets (1961),
Spring and Port Wine (1970),
Woman in a Dressing Gown (1957),
The October Man (1947),
Turn the Key Softly (1953),
An Inspector Calls (1954),
We Are the Lambeth Boys (1959),
Victim (1961),
Charlie Bubbles (1968),
The Family Way (1966),
A Kind of Loving (1962),
To Sir with Love (1967),
Oliver Twist (1948),
Billy Liar (1963),
Dance Hall (1950),
The Ladykillers (1955). Modern films do not inspire me at all. I refuse to watch anything post-1971 because every story had been told by then."
