Favourite British Films
 

Just looking through my dvds and i noticed that a lot of them are filmed in this country, we may not have the money to spend on big films that America have but we've certainly come up with some bloody good ones

here's a few of my favourites


The Krays
Kes
Scum
Harry Potter
Lock Stock
Trainspotting
Football Factory
Green Street
Withnail and I
Rita, Sue and Bob too (very cringeworthy i know)

what are some of your favourite old/new British films?

My choice of films aren't exactly great but are what i like, not everyones cup of tea, but hey ho, wouldn't be right us all being the same would it

Anything with John Mills.

One thing I noticed about his films is it was a bit like real life, in his earlier ones he was a common seaman/squaddie/airman, towards the end of the 2wII he was upgraded to officer class and above. Proper promotion without having to dodge the real bullets and comparatively getting a really good wage.

For me it has to be

Royal Flash

Brassed Off with the excellent Pete Postlethwaite.
