Icon If and the sequel, Oh Lucky Man!

Yeah, "If" is great and "Oh Lucky Man!" which continues to follow Mick Travis would appeal greatly to anybody who loves David's Triage. I highly recommend "Oh Lucky Man!" to the folks here and I did recommend it to David too though I don't know if he's ever seen it. Maybe you guys watched both of these when you were kids, Andrea! Also kind of interesting is that "If" was the film that made Kubrick cast Malcolm in "A Clockwork Orange" and I've also kind of felt that "If", "Clockwork", and "Oh Lucky Man!" were the ultimate McDowell trio of performances and that the films all sort of have the same spirit and strangeness about them.

There is a third (and final) film in Mick Travis series called Britannia Hospital which I have not seen so I can't speak to how good or bad it is.
