What a bloody fantastic movie!!

The wonderful, wonderful Pete Postlethwaite, God bless him.................. what an actor, what a film! ❤❤

I’ve watched this 15 plus times and still get tears

One of the greatest movies ever. I saw it 15 years ago and still feel the same emotion.❤❤❤

with a posthumous tribute to Pete Postlewaite, he will live on as a great actor. Great picture, a fan from Holland.

As a euphonium player this movie really hit close to home on the references made to everyone calling it a trumpet and the annoyance portrayed in response. Although I’m used to being called a baby tuba which is even more insulting! This movie really hits close to home as an American. Especially as a euphonium player. The only place we are taken seriously is the brass band. This was a damn good movie!

One of the best films ever made, it deserves recognition. So does Grimethorpe Colliery Band.

As a Swiss the Wilhelm Tell Overture is of course one of my favorites. During my active time as musician I have been playing the cornet (thereof 1 1/2 years in a British Brass Band in Sussex), euphonium and during the last years Eflat tuba. Apart from that I have watched this great film many years ago and still love it today. Especially Pete Postlethwaite did a brillant job, RIP

And that people is THE best version of that epic tune that you will find anywhere. The best, bar none. ❤

Whatever would humankind be without music of this tradition? It makes us better, gives dignity to our sometimes afflicted lives.

The man who has the solo, at 1:12 , conducted at a concert band I used to play in! His name is Shaun Randall.

hell i get chills everytime i hear this great piece of music, brass at its best and i love the way its conducted

yorkshire at its best our bands very rarely get beaten and long live the miners

I'm a hard Rock music fan and I absolutely love this brass overture.

Goosebumps everytime.

Bravo !!!! The Grimethorpe Colliery band !!! Bravooooooooo !!!

the conductor is awesome

I have never tired of watching the final scene of this movie. Absolutely brilliant.

Cracking piece and brilliant acting through the film. Very poignant film - they don't make em like this now!

The brass bands start to play and I start to cry. Whatever they play touches my heart and I just sob. Always been the same even as a young child.

Totally agree.It gives me joy every timeI listen.

A great movie, presenting history, human fate and all this wonderful music. These hardworking coal miners on the edge of starvation play like any master class - just brilliant. I watched the movie on DVD with my sons last year and got the soundtrack CD for my car radio. 😊

This portion of the film always brings tears to my eyes. Brave British people speaking out against their government with music. I wish Danny's speech had been included.

OMG THIS IS GREAT MUSIC.....

I’ve listened to this song many many times and I love it so much. I’m a baritone player and love what they do with this!!

Another great actor dies prematurely. Left some good memories though! Pete Postlethwaite. R.I.P.

God I love this song!

Carson a man of many trades. Butler and conductor.

great movie...great music...sad times.

RIP Pete xx great actor brilliant films

un grand et beau film ! poignant, émouvant, les années miss Thatcher ! great Pete Postlethwaite ! RIP.

I love that they play cornets, not trumpets. I love that sweet sound!

This is the best William rendition i have ever heard. Beautiful. Hard hitting honest film

Superb conducting. As good as it gets.

There is a restaurant in Ocean City MD that plays this beautifully piece every night at sunset. Never get tired of hearing it.

This film and the music in it is what keeps pushing me to do my grade 8.

A superb performance by Grimethorpe - if Carling made colliery bands...The cornet solo was masterful. A couple of years ago a stage version of 'Brassed Off' went on tour and here in Cheltenham the band was Bristol's Flowers Band. Their performance reflected their status as British Champions. Andy Smith on cornet. As good as this clip from the film.

Ah, Mr. Carson was a conductor before becoming the butler at Downton...

James Shepherd is awesome, as are the rest of the band especially given what all miners went through in the 80s

From the lone ranger just image what a practice is before a real live concert you should be proud and amazed just love classic music job well done you should be proud appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe

Magic...absolutely magic.

Classic film.😊 A tale of the time.

Very passionate 👏 👌 Trubutes to British Brass Bands.

Great version of this song. Goosebumps

One of the best movies I have seen in many a year. Remember when it came out and saw it three or four times. The lass who ;played the cornet I saw in a recent BBC produciton of Spooks - and she is still as beautiful as ever

but man what an entertainer!!!! ! a band with a top conductor leading them beyond themselves to play more then the notes great ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ ♫♪ ♫♪great sound! ♫♪♫♪ ☺ ♥ ♫♪☺♫♪ great ♫♪♫♪☺ BRAVISSIMO @bisbis 🎶🎵🎼 great music! a well tuned ensemble that sounds like an organ ! Fabulous banding

This is as good as it gets,magnificent !!!

Get goosebumps every time I hear this !

What a wonderful movie , what a brilliant performance, perfection !

I know it's just a movie and the guy playing the conductor probably knows about as much about music as my cat, but I love the job he did. To me it seems like he was "driving" the band more than leading it. He worked very hard to realitically show what it's like in the orchestra pit.

What a film,never get bored of watching it,

Let's stop and honor and appreciate this masterpiece of music from the William tell overture the musicians deserve a lot of credit great job and outstanding performance classic music at its very best one of the best and favorite ever god bless you guys thanks you guys rock thanks ! Joe

Outstanding in every way

"Brassed Off" is currently on Pluto TV.

Wonderful film, wonderful clip - thank you. Love Jim Carter's conducting; so vital.

I have this cd and if I ever get marooned on. The BBC desert island this would be the cd I would want above all the others!

This is superb! Probably the best recording out there! After hearing this, the cornet solo at 1:12 became my favorite part. In every other recording, the solo was extremely underwhelming. Here, it's brought out and played so clearly. I also am very much amused by Harry's conducting style. He was by all means taught well :) All the compliments aside, one thing that bugged me was Tara Fitzgerald's acting when she played the flugelhorn. It reminds me of one of Danny's quotes earlier in the movie: "That girl blows flugel like a dream." (Referring to Gloria, played by Fitzgerald) Well, if you dream about a girl who can't play flugel, then you're definitely right.

Love the speech that follows

Great film and even better music

What a bitter sweet moving tribute to the Brass Bands of Britain but also a tribute to the miners who lost their jobs by the tens of thousands and effected the towns throughout the United Kingdom.

Great movie, thank you, big thank you

A fantastic film and this is brilliant!

fantastic! we love this! even my 2 year old-brassed off daddy the fast one daddy!!

Excellent and outstanding performance I get thrills and chills to listening to a real masterpiece of music even rossini would be proud appreciate you guys thanks job well done you should be proud just image what a practice is before a real live concert you guys rock appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe

the speech that danny gives at the end is the original speech that was made by band leader

Fantastic. Simply fantastic.

Just a masterpiece! ❤

RIP Pete. Legend

Absolutely brill !

I have no words.................Bluddy Unbelievable. Thank You.

still a great movie. Realistic,

music to get the students up next door,that will teach them to have a party

Superbe!!! The entire movie is great!

Magnificent!

Just a real masterpiece job well done you should be proud and amazed one of my favorite pieces of music to listen to or watch on TV or my cell phone just image what a practice is before a real live concert appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe

Brassed off is a great film about us normal people who try to make the best of what we've got!

The basses are wicked

Love this clip

Love to hear this overture every time.

Great music. Inspiring! Thrilling! Breathtaking it HAS to have a 'Hi-yo Silver!!! AWAAAYYYY!!!"

Other than the fact that this is a great performance and a very entertaining clip from a film, it appeals to me since my mother's family all left Wales(Merthyr Tydfil) in the mid 19th century and came to the US. That alone adds enormously to the appeal of this for me.

Civic theatre Halifax. I watched them filming at the Piece Hall Halifax and was asked to be in the crowd I said no. I met Pete outside the Piece Hall having a smoke. Brilliant film.

I like how the baby in the audience sleeps through the whole thing

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!

Wonderful!

Love this scene!

Full Monty got all the plaudits whilst this was a little overlooked at the time. Surely this can now be viewed as a wonderfully more warm and realistic view of the genre.

Damn.. This is awesome...

As a proud Scot I love pipe bands , but there is nothing quite like a brass band in full flow , specially if its a colliery band

Awesome!!

Wow, I'm speechless!

Blooming brilliant 👏 👌 😀

"Keyboard warriors"....LOL very good observation...my compliments.

I have to watch Brassed Off again really soon!

I love the trumpet solo part

That said as a former member of Thoresby Colliery Junior brass band (cornet) I like the film -brings back memories of playing at garden fetes and pubs at Christmas. Life moves on and so does the world -who wants to work down a hole all day anyway -so much rubbish written about its all maggies fault - some people should show some self respect but I doubt the detractors on here are miners (who by and large did have self respect)

einfach nur schön

Such an uplifting and also such a sad film but a must watch 😢

ultra dynamic grande finale

I kept waiting for the masked man, his mighty steed, and his faithful companion to ride onto...
