British Movies

Just watched Shifty :
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1104126/

quality movie ... any other good British urban flicks ?

loved London to Brighton
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1104126/

Harry Brown was bloody good as well :)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289406/

Fuck Hollywood !

keep it oldschool maaaan

Brighton Rock is the shit, Dicky Attenborough plays a gangster called Pinky

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039220/

was remade recently but I don't really have much interest in watching that

cheers gmos ... gonna get that one :) any more ?

I think Dead Man's Shoes is supposed to be good, my brother liked it.

quality flick ringo ... i do like Danny Dyer although he had done a few shit films but most are good.

Straightheads
City Rats
The Business
Football Factory
Severance

All staring Danny Dyer.

it wasnt dead mans shoes .... it was dead man running hahaha also a quality film.

Dead mans shoes was Paddy Considine who starred in Once upon a time in the midlands.

A room for romeo brass .... now that was was one fucked up film starring paddy considine.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202559/

Danny Dyer is a fucking knob!

imo of course ;)

hmmmm, I've only got older suggestions really

Get Carter
Long Good Friday
Night and The City

Scum
Made in Britain
Performance
The Cook, the Thief, his wife and her lover
The draughtmans contract
Sexy beast
Twin Town
Revenge of Billy the Kid
If
Btittania hospital
Hobsons choice

Nearly all the Ealing comedies, and of course the Hammer horrors.

Along with some already mentioned, and so on.

Danny Dyer is a fucking knob ... he proved that in the real football factory. But he has done some good flicks.

Sexy beast was quality.
Love honour & obey another Ray Winston classic as was Nil by Mouth.

yeah, Scum and Sexy Beast are good

abracadabra-1
Nearly all the Ealing comedies

oh yes, I'm a total sucker for those, but I thought we were talking about gangster stuff. Actually, I guess Ladykillers does kind of fit!

Never saw that this was a gangster movie topic, must have missed that bit...

maybe it wasn't, I guess I just assumed from the films mentioned

Still on the gangster tip .... London Boulevard .... well worth a watch.

Babylon

MOAR CORSETS NEEDED IN THIS THREAD

Eat the Rich

footsoldier
face
the acid house
wonderland
weren't mentioned yet

anything shane meadows / robert carlyle / kelly brook is fine with me

I'm getting that version of Brideshead Revisited Dina. The one with Jeremy Irons. I'll let you know.

here's some more great british films
some David Lean...

Oliver Twist and Great Expectations
Laurence of Arabia and Bridge On The River Kwai

also Powell and Pressburger have made some of my favourtie British movies
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
A Matter Of Life and Death
The Red Shoes
The Black Narcissus
The Small Back Room

I'd recommend the Mini Series Bleakhouse. Corsets abound Dina.

gmos
The Black Narcissus

The one about the nunnery in India? I did see that one ages ago. It was pretty good. Reasonably Spooky.

yeah, that's the one, they're building a convent in the Himalayas or something and they all go a bit crazy, they're all mad for the cock too!

i can't believe we haven't mentioned The Third Man yet!

It's very like my life, minus the Christianity. I've never seen a convent anywhere near where I live, but I found a Christian fundamentalist website, and they were all upset about Pahardi Tribals and their pagan religion of idol worship and blood sacrifice. I've heard some horror stories about missionaries around here.

Edit: Typo

I watched Brideshead Revisited Dina. It was good. Quite melencholy, and really good acting. I didn't find it so disturbing, although it did make me a little sad. It's very different from the feature film.

I think Jeremy Irons is quite unnerving. I often felt like saying, 'FEEL SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING! AHHHHHHHHHH!'

I love him.

I think Jeremy Irons is quite unnerving. I often felt like saying, 'FEEL SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING! AHHHHHHHHHH!'

He was brutally cold with his wife Celia. In some ways it made me wonder if the twenties were way more liberated than the last five decades. Certainly people were quite cavalier about alternative lifestyles.

Peeping Tom

Disctorsion
Peeping Tom

yeah, that's another Powell and Pressburger film, I think it's a bit dated though, doesn't seem so sinister nowadays

Bronson
The Business
Footsoldier
Gangster No. 1
Layer Cake
44 Inch Chest (Ray Winstone is killer in this!)
