Good Vibrations

Not really for me to say, as an Englishman, but this comes uncomfortably close to a depoliticised "both sides were as bad as each other" rereading of the Troubles. The British army don't feature much at all, except in a little sequence in which they cheerily let our heroes go on their way. For all that, it does show how punk music might have been a unifying force for some of Belfast's youth and it's a hard film to dislike, with a charismatic central performance and some inventive visuals.
