About This Movie

So, 'I Know What I Like' is this quirky little gem from 1973 featuring Bernard Cribbins, who is both himself and various characters in the brewing scene. It's this lighthearted journey through the beer-making process – from hops to the pub – which is quite charming, if not a bit whimsical. The atmosphere really captures the essence of British pub culture, and the pacing is laid-back, making it feel almost like a documentary with a friendly touch. Cribbins' performances bring a warmth, lending a relatable vibe to the whole viewing experience. It's not just about beer; it’s about the community around it, which is a distinct theme that runs throughout the film.

This film has had a bit of a murky existence in terms of availability, with few official releases making it somewhat of a curiosity among collectors. It originally aired on television, so finding a good copy can be a challenge. Interest in this title tends to fluctuate, but it garners attention from those with a passion for niche British cinema and the cultural commentary around beer making in the '70s.
