Lo and behold... Jezza himself Jeremy Clarkson hates the film. Here's what he had to say about a list of "best British films".
"The only Bond flick to make the grade was From Russia With Love, which came in at number nine. Why? With the possible exception of Moonraker, this early Sean Connery flick was one of the worst 007 adventures."
Clarkson goes on to say the greatest British film ever made is The Long Good Friday, followed by Local Hero, then The Killing Fields.
Clarkson calls the following British films overrated,
The Third Man
Brief Encounter
Lawrence of Arabia
The Bridge Over the River Kwai ("God Almighty. Jesus took less time to die than Alec Guiness.")
Get Carter
The Wicker Man
If...
A Clockwork Orange
