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

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

I came on to suggest this! Utterly wonderful film.

I loved sightseers too, midsommar, bit gory in parts I suppose, naked although not really obscure, Tyrannosaur, these are all quite depressing ha, I don't have any lighthearted examples.

Eagle vs Shark

None of these are British, but I love Safety Not Guaranteed. Another favourite is Together, also enjoyed We Are The Best by the same director. Sorry To Bother You is pretty quirky.

Parasite

Not British through

Also wondering if hunt for the wilder people is suitable for 10 year olds?

@IckyPop

Eagle vs Shark

Oh, I liked that too, another New Zealand one to watch is The Breaker Upperers

@DuzzyFuck I came on to say The Fundamentals of Caring too. Very charming film!

@TheJourneyWoman I came to say The Way Way Back. Ace film

Forgot I love French films. I second Amelie & Delicatessan

Waking Ned. Charming.

Recently watched The Peanut Butter Falcon, it was great. What We Did On Our Holidays and Eddie the Eagle were much better than expected. My kids loved Eddie the Eagle.

"Under the Shadows" - British film but set in Teheran in the 1980s. In Farsi. A horror film.
Totally not what I usually like. But it's brilliant. The main actress is fantastic.
It's on Netflix.

Hunt for the wilderpeople

@Thepepperiswhereyouleftit

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.

I just watched this recently, it is lovely

I just watched the new version of David Copperfeld tonight - the one with Dev Patel- and it is utterly charming and quirky. And British! Hurrah!

Where am I going to find all these films?
We have Sky/Netflix - there not going to be on there are they?

The straight story

An Awfully Big Adventure.

David Copperfield was on Prime I think.

Wouldn’t most films be on Sky? Otherwise what’s the point of it?

Re: Hunt for the Wilderpeople - suitability for 10 year olds.

The Parent's Guide on the IMDB site has quite comprehensive information about what's in this film.

Lawless Heart - one if my favourites. No one's ever seen it. One morning my father rang me to tell me about this fantastic film he'd seen in the night. I told him it was the film I kept telling him about. It is a delight. Douglas Henshall is incredible in it.

Peanut butter falcon agreed is great. And tyrannosaur. Not a happy watch but it knocked my socks of!
And speaking of Peter mullan 'hector' is wonderful. I went to stay in rye overnight to watch it as it was the only cinema showing it !

Some of them are on Netflix. You can rent/buy stuff on Google Play Movies/Apple/Amazon Prime if you're keen. If you Google a film it will tell you where it's available.
