I first recall watching this movie with a friend (who owns DVDs such as "Salo" and "The Holy Mountain") just before coming to University a few years ago. It stars the guy from Clockwork Orange (in his first ever film role) and is a great sadistic movie that culminates in what can only be described as a premonition to Columbine.

if.... is a 1968 British drama film produced and directed by Lindsay Anderson satirizing English public school life. Famous for its depiction of a savage insurrection at a public school, the film is associated with the 1960s counterculture movement because it was filmed by a long-standing counter-culture director at the time of the student uprisings in Paris in May 1968. It includes controversial statements, such as: "There's no such thing as a wrong war. Violence and revolution are the only pure acts". It features surrealist sequences throughout the film. Upon release in the UK, it received an X certificate.

An absolutely cracking film that everyone should see. It's very English in its nature and really struck a chord with critics at the time. Highly reccommended. It's how I invisage an old-school, pre-Internet &ToTSE.
