British films you love?

[lucysmam]

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

Little Voice
Shallow Grave I like to believe that Ewan McGregor survives in the end
Wish you Were Here, Emily Lloyd was so good, then nothing much became of her, this was probably the first film with a sex scene I ever saw
Secrets and Lies such great acting performances
The Full Monty, 1997 seems a long time ago now
In the Name of the father

There' films on this thread I've forgotten about that I'll have to put on our to watch list:
Letter to Breshnev- yes it's never on tv!
Me Without You- teen angst if I remember
Brassed Off
East is East- I loved that, there's now a sequel but I've not seen it

Does Abigail's Party count as a film?

Does Circle of Friends count? It was set in Ireland but not sure who made it.

My favourites are still trainspotting and 4 weddings though.

((hope it is british)
goodnight mr tom

Wish You Were Here was fantastic. I think Emily Lloyd had MH problems, sadly, and dropped out of the limelight.

The Full Monty
Love Actually
Twin Town
Goodbye Mr Chips

24 Hour Party People
Control

-both cracking soundtracks

If you fancy a bit of Manc

Frank

Peeping Tom

Naked [Mike Leigh] actually anything Mike Leigh or Ken Loach

24hour party people

Daytrippers

The Riot Club

Northern Soul

The Selfish Giant

Alan Partridge:Alpha Papa

YY to The Angel's Share.

On the Ken Loach theme Sweet Sixteen was very powerful when I watched it.

A film I would never tire of watching is Children of Men. A take on the PD James novel. And with the lovely Clive Owen.

A good old carry on film!

Exit Through The Gift Shop

Sanssoleil, YES to Northern Soul - loved it! even if I did put my knee out trying to replicate the moves in front of dd2

2001
A Clockwork Orange
If
O Lucky Man
Battle of Britain
Full Metal Jacket
Absolute Beginners
Sunshine on Leith
Nowhere Boy
An Education
The Red Shoes
Shallow Grave

And YYY to Control, Hope & Glory, Shaun of the Dead

Jack and Sarah . My favourite film ever and hardly ever on .

BOFster

yy to Nowhere boy

Il iked An Education and Notes From A Scandal but not sure if they appeal more to women than men

Has Trainspotting been mentioned?

Blow-up is probably an Italian film technically-but a good depiction of 1960s Britain.

Dreams of a Life

Nasty Neighbours

Zulu

Rita, Sue and Bob too

Forgot Children of Men. It's great.
If you've not seen Sunshine on Leith and like musicals/Edinburgh/The Proclaimers - see it, it's aces

don't pick Blue Juice or Green Street whatever you do

I can't stress this enough

Orphans
Hilarious and sad.

Also Willy Russell films
Educating Rita
Shirley Valentine

The Full Monty, Good Night Mister Tom, The Italian Job and certainly Hope and Glory here too.

nuts in may!

Agree with Nuts in May but was it a film or just a play on TV?

Nuts in May is on dvd/Lovefilm -it was a tv play like Abigail's party

love Keith and Candice-Marie!

Withnail and I.

P'tang Yang Kipperbang.

The Railway Man
Brassed Off
Made in Dagenham
The one about the enigma machine
The one about Steven Hawking

I am a bit nerdy and a bit political, can you tell?
