    I was going to save talking about this until July just in case it re-releases in cinemas for the 40th anniversary, but I watched it again tonight so I’m using this as an opportunity to gush about one of my all time favourites.

This isn’t the first (or last) time they’ve been on screen together but they play off each other so well and Wright & Pegg use this to their advantage when it comes to the film’s humour; which leads…
