Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA lot of the banter between Ricky Gervais and Anne Reid (playing Gervais's character's mother) was improvised.
- GoofsThe film is set in 1973, yet all of the trains seem are in liveries from the 1960's. (While it is true that the last of the crimson coaches weren't repainted until 1974, by 1973 almost all locomotives were blue and coaches blue or blue and grey.)
- Quotes
Bruce Pearson: Freddie, stop listening to music made by poofs. Stick on some Elton John.
- Crazy creditsKarl Pilkington should be mentioned or credited on the film as characters based on his memories.

Featured review
Though I knew Ricky Gervais and Steve merchant directed it, I had no prior expectations about this movie. I did not know what it was about nor did i read any reviews before watching. Trust me, that is the best way to watch Cemetery Junction. Don't listen to the reviews of jaded film critics who over-analyze and complain about other movies being similar. This is a movie that make you feel good without explicitly being a feel-good movie. I came out feeling nostalgic for 70s Britain though I grew up in 90s USA. The dialog is witty, smart, often funny and sometimes touching. It deftly touches on themes of loss, regret, friendship, love, and following one's dreams. This is my favorite British film in quite some time. You will not regret watching this movie.
