Another one I've just remembered - 'The Reckoning' starring Nichol Williamson, shot in '69 a whole year before 'Get Carter' but has similarities to it and featuring a mighty Jag 420G as the main car, the whole film is on youtube...

Never heard of that one before, so will give it a watch.

Point of order guvnor... Up The Junction was shot in '67! Top film though with a great soundtrack from Manfred Mann and wonderful views of old London. Oh and Suzi Kendall looks rather ace too....
Released in 1968 though
Great acting from Maureen Lipman, Hyda Baker and Alfie Bass too. The white "E" type at the end was rather tasty too..

Great soundtrack as you say....I have it on vinyl from the late sixties.
This is an excellent documentary too:-

Has anyone mentioned The Jokers (1967) yet? Oliver Reed & Michael Crawford attempting to steal the Crown Jewels.

Sorry for the thread ressurection but I've recently discovered the Tallking Pictures movie channel and it's a goldmine of forgotten British flicks from all eras. My planner is choc a block with late '60s and early '70s flicks.
Even if the film's are rubbish (Joan Collins alternative reality one), it's worth fast forwarding for the outside views/cars.

Well it's Sky channel 343 but not sure about internet viewing, that's not really my thing.
Found myself riveted to this the other night:

Thanks to the thread being resurrected I've just remembered three more 'London films' which are worth a punt - 'Secret Ceremony' from 1968 starring Liz Taylor, Robert Mitchum and Mia Farrow, a very odd film with a strong supernatural / psychological theme which was largely shot around Hampstead, Cricklewood and Kilburn, 'The Killing Of Sister George' starring Beryl Reid and Susannah York shot around North London in 1968 / 69 and 'Zee & Co' starring Liz Taylor, Susannah York and Michael Caine, shot in 1971 around the time that 'Get Carter' was on release. Most of this one takes place indoors but there are some good exterior views of old London. Caine is almost in parody mode but Taylor and York literally shine every time the camera is on them.
Someone mentioned the 1968 series 'Strange Report' a while back, although only sixteen episodes were made it's a very good series, beautifully shot with some great Hampstead and other N.London locations...
I think the Hospital is out in the sticks, somewhere near Radlett...
