British films you love?

[lucysmam]

Dp's after something to watch & says it has to be British...no idea why ...any suggestions?

Brief Encounter
The Ladykillers (original)
The End of The Affair
Pride and Prejudice
The Shape of Things To Come

What sort of film does he want?

Brief Encounter
Kind Hearts and Coronets
The Lady Killers
Lavender Hill Mob

The Italian Job (the original one)
Saving Grace

Not sure Medoc, I think he's just after something new to watch. Period drama is more my thing than his though.

Trainspotting
Pride is supposed to be good
Recent films, the one about the Enigma machine, Stephen Hawkins, Mr Turner, Belle. Hitchcock was an English director but his best known films were made in America. Erm, Mr Bean..?

East is East?
Bend it like Beckham?
Bridget Jones' Diary?

Gives up.

Mr Bean's Holiday is a regular in this house!

I got a at The Italian Job, think he's thinking of the recent one -I had forgotten about the original so we'll watch that together I think

Snatch?
The Full Monty?

Yes all the Ealing comedies. Also some early Hitchcock films were British (e.g. The Lady Vanishes, 39 Steps).

In the Dead of Night - weird 40s portmanteau of ghost stories, utterly brilliant.

Went the Day Well? WWII British film.

Trying to rack my brains for anything post-1950

All those films made for C4 in the 80s - My Beautiful Launderette, Ptang Yang Kipperbang etc.

Kes if you don't mind blabbing

Mike Leigh films, any of them.

The James Bond films are supposedly British

A lot of these are actually sounding like they'd be more up my alley than his!

Rita Sue and Bob Too - a must-watch!

Clockwise

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Love Actually
Bridget Jones

How about
Snatch
The King's speech
Sexy beast

Still curious to know why he only wants to watch a British film?

Hope & Glory

Hehe pensioner- my mother taught there!

Where are you going to watch the film? Because Netflix has quite a few British films

AWhole, no idea, he's had the day off & spent it flicking through Netflix for something to watch. He started watching one this afternoon but it was utter drivel & turned it off.

He's gone off to find Snatch on dvd.

I'll be looking up a fair few of the others myself.

The Day The Earth Caught Fire
Quatermass
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Local Hero
Gregory's Girl
4 wedding and a funeral
