I have to say that at least he&#8217;s the coolest cat in the movie, with the best lines. This movie was made in 1999 but takes place in 1981. Of course it&#8217;s chockablock with some of our favorite music. One year later, 1982, these XTC compilations were released. It&#8217;s hard to believe they started so long ago.<\/p>\n<p>XTC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Waxworks:_Some_Singles_1977-1982\">Waxworks: Some Singles 1977-1982<\/a>&#8221; (Wikipedia) and &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beeswax:_Some_B-Sides_1977-1982\">Beeswax: Some B-Sides 1977-1982<\/a>&#8221; were originally released together, but I <em>think<\/em> they later became separate albums.
