Summary: devastating
Review: a hard but utterly touching account of insecurity,drug addiction and media blitz. Chloe Webb and Gary Oldman are genuine and heartbreaking in the portrait of two(almost)regular people caught between heroin and semi-celebrity and the downward spiral. Totally compelling!

Summary: Totally great flick!
Review: Yes, this movie has Courtney Love in it, but it's great nonetheless. This movie is both dark and romantic. The most touching scene is when Sid (Gary Oldman) kneels down to suck Nancy's toes (Chloe Webb). A visually stunning fiesta.

Summary: wonderful,
Review: i really hate the sex pistols too! they are the worst punk band on earth, but i love sid's albums cause they are so raunchy and unorganized, the sex pistols studio albums where just flat and lame. this is great film making, webb and gary's performances are outstanding. yeah, courtney love is the film, for about 50 seconds. the only thing that makes no sense at all is when sid is getting his butt kicked by redneck bikers and his manager puts his hand in the shape of a gun like a kid would and the bikers run like its a real gun, he then aims his deadly finger at the ground fires a bullet! you must see this movie atleast once. the last scenes are the best.

Summary: First on Laser - Now on DVD
Review: When I bought my first Pioneer Laserdisc player way back in the dark days of 1989, Sid and Nancy was one of the first movies I bought. My friend and I had been to see this movie many times in the "Theatre of Living Arts" (TLA) in Philadelphia many times, so it was a natural purchase (along with La Dolce Vita). When Criterion put their DVD out, I was just as excited, and Criterion didn't let me down. As an owner of more than 100 Criterion titles, I had high expectations, and they were all met. It's good to know that Criterion is still the standard-bearer for true film buffs, no matter what the format. Thanks, Criterion.

Summary: What Punk Became
Review: This is a brilliant work. No other movie I have ever seen comes close to accurately portraying the chaos and energy of the punk scene, and few movies hit and smack you into the realisation of how a junkie lives. The only other thing that comes close is Trainspotting. Gary Oldman yet again delivers an undefeatable and unforgettable performance. Oldman and Webb's talent grabs you by the bollocks, and never lets go! Though, a few historical inaccuracies exist (e.g. the mohawk guys at the Sex Pistols gig at the beginning. Mohawks weren't prevalent in punk til' early 80s), the acting, and the portrayal of Sid and Nancy's downfall will overcome any gripe a person might have. Joe Strummer and The Pogues additions to the soundtrack make the images haunt your mind. An A+! Incredible movie!

Summary: Sid & Nancy - A Film I grew Up With
Review: All throughout high school, my friends and I would skip school and watch this movie. Sure it's depressing, but it's also one of the coolest movies ever made. Sid & Nancy also introduced us to Gary Oldman, who sang all the songs in the movie and now has gone onto bigger things (whether that's good I don't know). The extra features on this DVD are really exciting. Phone interviews with Sid Vicious, a great video interview with the real Sid & Nancy, the infamous Bill Grundy interview, a making of documantary, and commentary by all the stars of the film. I must have seen this every day going to high school on videotape, now that that tape is all worn out, I have the DVD to see it 100 more times!

Summary: Awful, but unique for its time
Review: When this film came out in '86, I was deeply disappointed, but grateful that Hollywood was at least paying SOME kind of tribute to punk rock. Despite the ugliness and stupidity of this witless drivel, it was unique seeing actors play people I had idolized for almost a decade. And the costumes and a few of the period details were well reconstructed. But in all honesty, I can't recommend this to anyone who could just buy the albums and have their own wannabe fantasies.
