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

The Greasy Strangler.

Seriously, give it a chance.
(Eat your tea BEFORE you watch it...)

The game night recommended reminded me of the film Tag.
It's an American film but based on a true story of a group of friends playing a game of tag/tig over their lives.
Clue is on sky cinema at the moment. Think it was there for Halloween

Sorry no time to RTFT now but will return
Second lots already mentioned, Harold and Maude, Delicatessen.

Goodbye Lenin- LOVE
A Very Long Engagement (but sad)
Mostly Martha
Blind Date

I liked Napoleon Dynamite - geeky boy, v American but gentle humour it's a PG

Locke is for Tom Hardy fans. Not an action movie.

I really enjoyed Eddie the Eagle
(about Eddie Edwards the skier).

The thirteenth man

Invictus

Another one for Sightseers!

A street cat named bob

Son of Rambo. Watched with my children, we all loved it!

I loved Parasite

If you like Hunt for the Wilderpeople, you may like Dean Spanley (also with Sam Neil.

Anything by Wes Anderson fulfills the quirky brief, though not British. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is one of my quirky favourites among many.

@ingvermama. Son of Rambow - another gem!

I am not an easy man - it’s French though but has English subtitles.

Adult Life Skills, with Jodie Whittaker before she was that famous. It’s on Prime. Very British, filmed in Yorkshire.

@1940s

Peanutbutter falcon

I came on to say this. Adorable.

@BeTheHokeyMan

About time Into the west Watermelon

About Time - My favourite, perfect film.

Sightseers is the weirdest film I've ever seen!

Keeping Mum, with Rowan Atkinson, Kristen Scott Thomas and Maggie Smith. The blackest of black comedy!

Julie & Julia, with Meryl Streep.

Cute, easy watching, not that quirky, but peaceful

Keeping Mum, with Rowan Atkinson, Kristen Scott Thomas and Maggie Smith. The blackest of black comedy!

Know the film. Couldn't remember the title but very definitely a quirky British film. And it has a great ending.

What we did on our holidays it a cliched but if overacted rubbish
Juliet naked iis a gem
The young offenders is funny
Green book is an unexpected feel good

Amelie

Papadopoulos and sons .

Badlands, my all time favourite. Beautifully shot, very quirky characters (hence my username!) A young gorgeous Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. So cool.
