24 hour - 1
control - 1

24 hour party people was such a fun journey, control wasn't.

Control 2
24 Hour Party People 1

I adore both, 24HPP showed what it was like in Manchester around that time, even if it was amplified. It was made up of rumours and urban myths which as Eric said - fun journey. But a film doesn't have to be 'fun' for it to be better, Control meant more. I thought Sam Riley did an outstanding job as Ian, really emotional and it's a film that means a lot.

i didn't really care for control, though i have been known to enjoy movies similar in the past.
but going against 24HPP it has no shot, i love that film.

Been wanting to watch control for a while and I've never heard of 25hpp.

Control was OK but a bit morose and a bit self important.
I also think Corbijn was the worst possible person to make a movie about Curtis seeing the guy virtually hero worships him.

Despite being pretty much a comedy I get the impression that 24hr PP was the more realistic portrayal, and the better movie.

Self important? Well I think a biopic has to be self important. And morose?
