Any recommendations for a quirky little gem of a film

The type that doesn't sound great in its synopsis but turned out to be brilliantly entertaining, moving, hysterical. It's probably British. Definitely understated.

I'll offer Marvellous with Toby Jones

Sightseers! Thank me later ☺️

Dog Soldiers' if you're into a bit of sci-fi / horror

Not British, but The Fundamentals Of Caring on Netflix is wonderful. And it stars Paul Rudd, so been better.

*EVEN better!

Little Miss Sunshine

Love, honour and Obey

"The Way Way Back" with Toni Collette and Sam Rockwell. It's lovely.

Second sight seers

The Station Agent

Juliet, Naked. British film with pure quirkiness at its core. Appeared on Netflix a few weeks ago, was a shame I hadn't caught at cinema when it was released.

Missing the hilarious requirement, but I found The Leather Boys quite engaging.

Hunt For The Wilderpeople - it’s a kiwi film and utterly delightful

Not british but the best movie ever is safety not guaranteed it's so funny but also had me in tears.

Hello, My Name is Doris
Dear Frankie

Oh lovely, lots of suggestions - thank you all. I'll try them through lockdown2. Happy to try any genre.

What we did on our holidays
Swimming with men
Fisherman's friends

Oh yes Hunt for the Wilderpeople was brilliant. Loved that.

@vipersinc Seen all those. We obviously like the same level of quirk!

I liked Melancholia but it's a bit depressing

Not British and maybe a bit too "famous" but Moonrise Kingdom, I loved it so much. Also Eagle and Shark, and to suggest an oldie, Harold and Maude, so lovely. I also enjoyed Grow Your Own but not sure how widely available it is.

Delicatessen. Not British, but wonderful.

Harold and Maud

( Hunt for the wilderpeople is superb)

@DanceForMeColin, I’ve been meaning to watch it since I heard Adam Buxton highly recommend it on his podcast.
Would my 10 year old daughter enjoy it too?

Into the West (Irish) and The Dish (Australian) - both wonderful films. The Dish is hilarious in places.
