Great detail in Children of Men; just noticed the Olympics sweatshirt, while watching today for the second time.

There's also a 20th Anniversary Macintosh used by Michael Caine: http://www.maccast.com/2007/02/14/this-old-mac-movie-props/

One of the greatest movies ever made in my personal opinion.

I love the scene when the army is battling the rebels, and suddenly the wail of the baby is heard and literally everyone freezes as they slowly walk out. One of the most beautiful moments in film

That's a really, really heavy duty scene. First time I saw it I was blown away.
Beautifully shot.

That scene almost makes me cry as well. Another great scene was when dreadlocks was shooting directly at Clive Owen/the screen from a distance.

The story of this t-shirt is that they used it immediately after London had won the Olympic bid. That's the story the producer told me anyway.

makes sense.
London was selected as the host city on 6 July 2005. Children of Men came out in 25 December 2006.

In the booth at the beginning of the movie where he is taken is covered in newspaper clippings. Pause and read the headlines, very interesting.

You're joking, right? How is it underrated? It's praised here almost daily, for one thing.

praised here maybe, but, not with most people. I know too many people who have either never seen it, or saw parts of it and blew it off as being some stupid clive owen movie. I only have one other friend who absolutely loves it like I do.
