56 Up - 9/10
I saw this in the late 90s, so the one I saw was 42 up.
This was a great idea, to take 7-yr olds, and to do a documentary at 14, 21, etc... I wish they wouldn't have used so much backup footage, and only use about 5 minutes of new material each time. Sometimes, they didn't even use the good footage.. In 1964, they asked kids what they thought about The Beatles - that would have been nice to revist, since no one knew how influential they would be in culture. The director should realize if we're still watching, we probably know about the past, and only a minimum amount of time should have been used.
Still, very great, and will watch the American (I'm from the US, but found the UK first), and the Russian, Swedish, South African, etc...
I love documentaries like "Place de la Republique" by Louis Malle, and "Dark Days" which is on YouTube in full.
