You hear part of an interview in which a film director talks about his favourite movie. Why does he like the film?

Interviewer: So, do you have a favourite movie?
Director: Oh ... that’s difficult. Well ... I think it has to be The Agents, the Mel Rivers movie. I like it because it reminds you that no matter how hard life is, or how many times you get knocked down by bad situations, things can get a whole lot worse.
Interviewer: When did you first see it?
Director: On television, late one night... I must have been about 16. There were moments when I just couldn’t stop laughing. It’s anarchic and silly, but it’s very warm. I love the friendship that develops between the two main characters.

Interviewer:  Can you still remember the thrill of it? I mean the first time you actually ride out there, out in front must be ...
Man:  Yeah, yeah, it was certainly a big thrill, but it was an evening event. It was the last race and it was almost dark by the time we’d finished and when I got home it was about ten or eleven o’clock, so there was very little time to think about it or do anything. And I had to be up at about half five the next day for my job, so unfortunately it was straight back to work really.
