Do we have any British posters

[sirdizzy]

Ok I am falling in love with British film and cinema. And was wondering if we had any British posters who could tell me some great films to see.

Recently I saw and loved
The Third Man
Ladykillers (Alec Guiness original)
Italian Job (MIchael Caine original)
Trainspotting
A Fish Called Wanda
The Bridge on the River Kwai

I am also a Hitchcock nut and my sister bought me this great 10 film collection of his London works like Blackmail, The Lodger, Juno and the Paycock, Young and Innocent, The Man who Knew too Much (Peter Lorre original), the Ring, Sabotage, Secret Agent, Rich and Strange


You got to see I Confess too, I thought it was better than the Wrong Man another movie along the same lines that is more acclaimed

I'm not British, but I'm a film nut and I can reccomend a few titles :)

I'll try reccomend some that are a bit more mainstream, but if you want some awesome little films that didn't really get any hype just PM me.

I caught "Brighton Rock" on television the other day and quite enjoyed it... I'm not sure how easy it is to find though, but worth a bit of digging.

If you want some more pf Alec Guiness and Michael Caine, get 'Educating Rita' or 'The Man in the White Suit' (very funny).

"A Room With a View" is wonderful (but my brother says it's a "chick flick" :rolleyes). And because I'm big on Albert Finney, you must watch "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning".

I cried and cried during "The Remains of the Day"... so good (and as an added bonus--Anthony Hopkins!!)

Erm, if you want something a bit more modern, watch 'Snatch', it's a gooder. And I'm not sure if this falls into the category (watch it anyway) 'The Crying Game'...


And lots and lots of Monty Python :D

I don't really know how popular these are outside of the UK, but here's some I like...

Withnail & I - Richard E.Grant in what has become a student cult-classic. Deadpan wit and absurb humour.

If... - Malcolm McDowell virtually reprises his role as Alex de Large in a revolution against harsh boarding school masters.

24 Hour Party People - Steven Coogan in a story about "music, sex, drugs, larger-than-life characters, and the birth of one of the most famous dance clubs in the world". Set around the time of the explosion of punk music in the UK.

The Wicker Man - Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward in a cult masterpiece with a suprise ending. Often bizarre.

A Hard Day's Night - John, Paul, George and Ringo in what is essentially one long music video, yet still a great rock n roll movie.

Human Traffic - Similar to Trainspotting, only better. An entertaining glimpse into 90s rave culture.

I bought my dad A Hard Day's Night for fathers day and had planned on already borrowing it since its on the BFI 100.

I have of course already seen snatch and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (I want to see Life of Brian). And I have seen bits and pieces of the Crying Game.

Would Layer Cake and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels be considered British. I own both those movies and love them. I Know they are the same producer Michael Vaughn who also produced snatch.

Monty Python's Meaning of Life is my favorite of the three Python movies. I also really enjoyed ...And Now For Something Completely Different, which I think is essentially a collection from when they had their sketch show going. You can get a box set of all four Python feature films for ridiculously cheap on websites like www.play.com

Zulu.

Gosford Park does it for me, because its a movie about British people playing a game of Clue.

Lawrence of Arabia. One of the greatest films, if not the greatest film of all time.
