Awesome / The Boat That Rocked

Go To

  • The Count's final speech as the ship sinks is truly beautiful:
    "God bless you all. And as for you bastards in charge, don't dream it's over. Years will come, years will go, and politicians will do fuck all to make the world a better place. But all over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams and put those dreams into song. Nothing important dies tonight, just a few ugly guys on a crappy ship. The only sadness tonight is that, in future years, there'll be so many fantastic songs that it will not be our privilege to play. But, believe you me, they will still be written, they will still be sung and they will be the wonder of the world."
  • The ending, when the Rock Radio ship is sinking and the DJs realise the listeners are coming with everything that floats, Dunkirk evacuation-style, to rescue them. Also a Heartwarming Moment.
    • "ROCK AND ROLL, BABY!"
  • In a deleted scene, Gavin telling Young Carl what made him come back. It's the awesomeness of the Stones' "Get Off Of My Cloud" that makes the scene great.
