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 Last edited by flashy; 26-12-2012 at 23:39. |

Re: Favourite British Films
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.

Re: Favourite British Films
Absolutely love Whistle Down The Wind & of course The Full Monty but a favourite is one called Jimmy Grimble, about a little lad who dreams of playing for Man City - always brings a smile that one
