Any recommendations for a quirky little gem of a film

[waltzingparrot]

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

Once

The Castle! Aussie classic.

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

Little Miss Sunshine
Juno
The Young Offenders

Placemarking. Although I'm afraid to say I really disliked Juno.

I was also going to say ‘What we did on our holidays’. Not British that I really (surprisingly) enjoyed was Uncut Gems

Another vote for hunt for the wilderpeople. Wonderful, wonderful film

Handsome Devil, its Irish.

Lars and the real girl

'A Good Year" with Russell Crowe. Superb - and the tennis scene is hilarious!

If you like wilderpeople you might like Jojo Rabbit too. Same director. Same irreverent but moving feel.

I enjoyed Sliding Doors.

“I Don’t Feel at Home in this World Anymore” is a wonderful quirky life-affirming indie flick.

Sunshine on Leith
What we did on our Holiday

Pride - based on a true story about the miners and the gays fighting Margaret Thatcher.

Yes to Sightseers / Little Miss Sunshine. (is that British?)
From Australia - Animal Kingdom (a slightly hard watch...)
High Rise, if you have the stomach for it.
Quirky - Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr Fox (animation and USA, but still...)

[quote waltzingparrot]@vipersinc Seen all those. We obviously like the same level of quirk![/quote]
I'll look out for your recommendations then

Sixty Six. Very random film about a Jewish boy whose Bar Mitzvah takes place on the day of the 1966 World Cup final. Stars Helena Bonham Carter, Peter Serafinowicz, Eddie Marsan, Catherine Tate and Stephen Rea.

It’s a very quirky film but really lovely.

Amelie- loved it and re watch it often.

Three and out
British Indy dark comedy fantastic cast including Mackenzie crook Colin new eye and Imelda staunton

Separado! Documentary featuring Gruff Rhys from the Super Furry Animals travelling through Patagonia in search of his long lost uncle. Hilarious, very (very!) low budget, and some great music :)

Heartlands, with Michael Sheen. Utterly charming.

I might have over emphasised the 'British' thing.

Loved The Dish, Jo Jo Rabbit and What we did on our holidays (surprisingly moving sea burial)

Patagonia - with the lovely Matthew Rhys

Twin Town (has a bit of a cult following in Wales)

A Shine of Rainbows - very moving
