Always loved Fox's line to Jagger, "You'll look funny when you're fifty"
But seriously, I think it's a brilliant film. It feels authentic in a way that say Blow Up never does. Everyone, especially in the 2nd half, feels like they're essentially just playing themselves, like they're not even trying to be anyone else, lending it an almost documentary feel. Just stick a handful of egomaniacal narcissists in a house, give them some drugs and set the cameras rolling. Definitely my favourite British 'sixties' film.
