Sid and Nancy, originally titled Love Kills, is a 1986 film directed by Alex Cox. It emerged during a period of renewed fascination in the life of the Sex Pistols member Sid Vicious. It stars Gary Oldman as Vicious and Chloe Webb as his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen.
The movie is largely based on the mutually destructive, drug-and-sex filled relationship between Vicious and Spungen. Vicious's mother, Anne Beverley, initially tried to prevent the movie from being made. After meeting with Cox, however, she decided to help the production. Some of the supporting characters are composites, invented to streamline the plot.
Oldman lost weight to play the emaciated Vicious by eating nothing but "steamed fish and lots of melon," but was briefly hospitalized when he lost too much weight. Vicious's mother also gave Oldman Vicious' own trademark heavy metal chain and padlock to wear in the film.

i like it
nice piece of fiction - not more and not to be taken seriously. getting joe strummer to consult on a sid and nancy movie while john lydon is still around is like getting mick jagger to countercheck a john lennon biopic.
when i say this is one of my favorite movies, people are always like:'most of the things are fictional, how can you like it?' but i adore it, i think the story is beautiful and the acting is great.
This is perfect because six pistols are the most perfect band I've seen the story, they were incredible because of their irreverence and social criticism.m10m
