History Film / StillCrazy

%%* CrackOhMyBack: Happens to the characters a couple of times.

%%* ShipTease: Plenty between Luke and Clare.
* OnlySaneMan: Compared to Les, Ray and Beano, Tony seems by far the most reasonable member on the group, aside from his hopeless crush on Karen.

* DeusExMachina: Mostly attributed to the "gods of Rock n' Roll." There's the kid listening to "Tequila Mockingbird," the girl outside Antwerp with the Strange Fruit t-shirt, and Ray's vision of Brian during his near-death experience.

* DeadEndJob: Most of the band members are tied to these at the beginning: Karen is coordinating conferences in a hotel, Les is dutifully running a family roofing business, Beano works at a plant nursery, and Tony is basically a condom wholesaler.

%%* DeadArtistsAreBetter: Keith. To his former bandmates, especially Les, he has reached almost god status.

%%* DumbAndDrummer: Beano Baggett. Ray teases him for behaving exactly as he did twenty-five years earlier and being "what they call a flatliner!"

%%* MamaBear: Karen. Not just toward her daughter (whom she sees nearly going down the same path) but the band, as well. She even goes so far as to attend an AA meeting with Ray [[spoiler: until they find out it's actually Overeaters' Anonymous]].

%%* PosthumousCharacter: Keith Lovell. Even during the prologue, it's established he has already passed on.

%%* DeadArtistsAreBetter: Keith.

%%* DumbAndDrummer: Beano Baggett

%%* MamaBear: Karen.

%%* PosthumousCharacter: Keith Lovell.

!Still Crazy features examples of the following tropes:

* FaceOfTheBand: Les laments that the vacuous Ray, as lead singer is taken to be 'the voice of the band', and later, he and Beano are interviewed when drunk expressing the beleif that Strange Fruit was really only the two deceased members; Keith and Brian

* HeyItsThatGuy: Many, many examples including Creator/StephenRea (from ''Film/TheCryingGame''), Creator/JimmyNail and Creator/TimothySpall (from ''AufWiedersehenPet''), Phil Daniels (from ''Film/{{Quadrophenia}}''), Danny Webb and Brian Capron.

* RetroactiveRecognition: BillNighy and Creator/TimothySpall both became hollywood stars half a decade or so after this film was released and sharp eyed viewers will spot MackenzieCrook playing a drug dealer. A pre- TippingTheVelvet Rachael Stirling also appears.
