Einkunnir og umsagnir

I liked this film but there is a huge problem with its BBFC classification - this film is definitely NOT A U RATING. Particularly the scenes where the Bulldog is killed and Oliver is captured again - those scenes are no where near suitable for 5 year olds. This film should be a PG - parents, please note this.

I have watched Oliver! countless times over the years and with each viewing it continues to delight and entertain. A superb cast breathes life into the carachters; Ron Moody's performance is my all time favourite depiction of Fagan, Shani Lewis & Oliver Reed (Bill Sykes= phwoar!) are superb, also. I love the songs but my favourite aspect is the choreography, the Covent Garden scene, a thing to behold. It does have darkness, so not suitable for the under 12s, I'd say..

Like watching musicals sit down and watch Oliver its a lot of fun for all the family it has songs pick a pocket or two, consider yourself great Sunday movie
