Another Country (1984)
Cast: Rupert Everett (Guy Bennett), Colin Firth (Tommy Judd), Cary Elwes (James Harcourt), Michael Jenn (Barclay)
For complete movie info, see IMDb's Another Country page.
Had this not been recommended to me, I doubt I would have ever seen it, in spite of the amazing cast. If you're a fan of Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, or Cary Elwes, you should see this movie to see the young stars shine. Another Country is no Dead Poets Society, but this movie (based on the real life of Guy Burgess, a Cambridge Spy) is very well done.
Almost the entire movie is a flashback and the make-up on Rupert Everett is so good that if it weren't for his voice I wouldn't have realized it was him in the beginning. The story is interesting and I think this movie is definitely worth renting.
