Sanctus - If... (1968)

Malcolm McDowell and Christine Noonan

[@tennisuniverse5671]

One of the greatest films of all time. Sad that it has been forgotten.

[@ldhproductions112]

Tennis Universe it still has a loyal following. And it’s sad not many people know about it, but those who do know how much of a gem it is.

[@tennisuniverse5671]

@@ldhproductions112 When you look at lists about films that were snubbed at the Oscars, this sadly never comes up, even though it should.

[@josephconnolly7863]

Couldn't agree more. Great film and better music.

[@mikesey1]

If they aired it a bit more on TV., it would help. It's probably fallen foul of the PC shitheads now. 🤬

[@rwb966]

Not forgotten by me. It came out in the middle of my time at public school. I saw it several times in the ABC Whiteladies through a haze of No 6 smoke.

[@johnrochelle4860]

Outstanding film ,plus soundtrack , Malcolm McDowell a great actor

[@terencekidd1097]

this film guided my life

[@jonturley5402]

Influenced me. Affected me. Haunts me. More than I can truly articulate. Pivotal to my teenage years. Exquisite. Bastards...

[@redpeadar9160]

Be cool this is such good music keeps you positive I love this tune CALM

[@Dan-tk5zs]

Right with you.. powerfull.

[@NickRowsell]

Congrats on your honesty and identity … top Fella …

[@peterfrance7489]

Likewise. Forgot just how much it embedded into my psyche.

[@kaylanparker-hudd2924]

im 23 this year, my dad is 70, he showed me this film, very good film, i love the memory.

[@tristantownsend8909]

I just finished this film and I am almost graduating high school, it certainly was an experience considering high school will be over for me in a few months.

[@michealcurrie8272]

Master piece. Mr McDowell , A master of perception.

[@tirshuadhikary1276]

This is a wonder...

[@KnutSchwensen-vf3uv]

The music is magic ❤❤❤

[@NickRowsell]

I haven’t forgotten this nor could I ever

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

Absolutely fantastic film, Just finished watching, I love this song it's so Haunting

[@tinaholman956]

I would love to have Malcolm McDowell and that motorcycle

[@piecatlady4289]

This music is what I remember best about the film "If..." Like a death march.

[@Fuzzbrain61]

Lindsay Anderson - a genius - forgotten by British cinema as one of the greats!

[@goback3spaces]

Can't say I like O LUCKY MAN, but Lindsay Anderson proves his genius in this movie

[@Johnconno]

Blood! Real blood!

[@willwilliam7171]

It’s a masterpiece.

[@unsinnkim3690]

just watched it today for the first time.,..... unbelievable what movie this is, regarding the year it was done.

[@uncletony6210]

I saw it with my parents in the theater in 1975, at the age of FIVE! I sat and watched the whole movie and still remember it well.

[@philliphopkins6903]

Absolutely brilliant film .

[@markburke1289]

So comparable to my 1971-76 stint at my all boys Grammar School. Except for the machine gun paramilitary scene👌

[@mickeycrilly1839]

I love this film the bike shop full of BSA bikes them riding the bike god such times

[@Sebarguy]

I didn't see the movie until recently. It reminded me that in my youth, teachers and administrators were such idiots! Always the rebellion for new paradigms finds new ways of escape

[@jibjab351]

Yeah Baby

[@oldhardmanjohnson6585]

Prophetic...

[@bridgetroberts6421]

Have always loved this film and I was at school when it was out and I wished it was my school

[@tonymarco2000]

Run, run, run in the corridor.

[@williephimister3077]

great music from a great film

[@superpopstar]

Eu gosto desse filme porque mostra como muitas instituições de ensino não estão realmente empenhadas em ensinar, o objetivo é controlar e punir se necessário. Acho que esse filme merecia mais atenção

[@edmund184]

Masterpiece.

[@cunneto2912]

Machine gun fire from the roof top backed up by a mortar team 😂 I love this film

[@PeterChapman-rg6gr]

When people ask me about my school days I refer them to this film as, apart from the ending, it pretty well summed up my school. The teachers and prefects were pretty similar just as the day-to-day discipline was left to the prefects leaving the head master to administer 6 / 12 of the Caine as he felt fit. The school was linked to the local Army cadets so there was plenty of shooting practice. Brilliant film that captured a lot of the reality of school days in the 1960's Lots of "punishments" handed out for the wrong reasons but off-set by the far more numerous occasions when we were not caught breaking the rules.

[@jibjab351]

Caine?. Public School did not do much for your splling.

[@stevegrim]

"RUN! Run in the corridors!"

[@markfitzpatrick1993]

England my beautiful England....

[@davidgross4700]

Add the bloody mess of the Vietnam War when this film came out and there were some serious seeds of revolution being sown.Thanks for posting D Rez.

Gloria tua Gloria tua Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna In excelsis In excelsis Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna In excelsis In excelsis

[@alanhesketh9265]

Actor David Wood has published an inexpensive book about the making of the film, highly recommended

[@redpeadar9160]

thanks

[@grahammaguire404]

Fantastic news this classic and groundbreaking movie is AVAILABLE TO RENT ON SKY TV..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....put it on your bucket list " TODAY".

[@christopherjames375]

this is how things were , in these ponsy public schools then , disapline was swift and brutal . cannings . cold showers . lines. detension . kids having to shave prefects . pillow fights . kids getting held down . then bummed in the shower .

[@DianaBeck1]

how can a person get out from there as ´normal´?! How can they think it is good to treat children like that ? it´s like the teachers are a bunch of homo-sado - masochists ,enjoying it .......

[@AchillesRC]

Acabei de assistir esse filme no canal Futura. Gostei!!! Alguém mais?

[@maratonlegendelenemirei3352]

1:39 I was cured alright!

[@mariejeanne2140]

It's really the time when everything started going wrong completely.

[@ldhproductions112]

Is this film remembered in the UK, cause almost nobody knows about it here in the US.

[@silvanomangana7656]

"Sanctus" de la "Missa Luba"

[@sav7568]

Oh the cafe scene - Hubba Hubba

[@chedderhead55]

Song was also an inspiration for Alice Cooper's "Sick Things" from the "Billion Doller Babies" album

[@DianaBeck1]

Team Travis hey

[@redpeadar9160]

my school Ballyfin now thw dearest hotel in Eire

[@DianaBeck1]

where in the past the British schools so fucked up? Are they still now?

[@jimebbage]

“ If...” Great British movie by Lindsay Anderson...probably providing the template for the thousands of school shootings in America since 1968. Watch the movie...see Columbine..?

[@kateeigs6457]

Now, now. That can't be the case at all. Firstly, this movie is British and made in the 1960s. School shooters usually watch gory movies such as natural born killers. This is, in no way, a cause of shootings.

[@geoffpoole483]

Doubt any of those high school shooters ever watched this film. Nor did you.

[@lehah4333]

Pretty sure the people who are behind those horrible events don’t have the taste, the IQ or even just the knowing of a Lindsay Anderson movie from 50 years ago

[@ldhproductions112]

Verdi Lowe about fifteen Americans have heard of this film. But it’s a true masterpiece of cinema.

[@susanhammack3158]

Agree that none of the columbine shooters or later ever heard of the movie, and Whitman (first school shooting 1966, univ of texas austin). I saw it when it came out in 68. Incredible. All across university land we bought the soundtrack. I still have my LP. Out of print. Sad.
