Delving into the atmospheric depths of No Limit reveals a master at work, the visual language established by Monty Banks is something many try to emulate. From hidden underground hits to established classics, these are our top picks.
The enduring power of No Limit lies in to synthesize diverse influences into a singular artistic statement.
George Shuttleworth is convinced that he has the talent to win the Isle of Man TT races, despite what his neighbours back home in Wigan may think. During the trials, the brakes go on George's bike, 'The Shuttleworth Snap', which he made himself. As a result, he breaks the TT lap record, becoming an instant motor-cycling star. As the big race approaches, George soon realises that other jealous riders will stop at nothing to make sure he does not take part in the race. An early George Formby film and probably his best.
