Trainspotting, Snatch, The Long Good Friday

[slick nick]

If you know any other good films like those mentioned above from the U.K. along the lines of comedy or drama/ thriller, etc with comedic moments(I know Trainspotting wasn't supposed to be a comedy but it had plenty of funny moments) please name them. I've Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels as well as Eat The Rich if anyone was going to mention those.

[Proper Bo]

lock stock had some funny moments. Monty Python films, they're great, well worth checking them out. Best ones are The Life Of Brian, The Holy Grail and The Meaning of Life

[Skillian]

Human Traffic

A Life Less Ordinary

Shallow Grave

[slick nick]

Hey thanks for that Life of Brian mention. david Icke mentioned that in a lecture. Have any of you seen Twin Town? I read a good review of it at imdb.com. I'll check out reviews of what you've all mentioned thus far.

[Proper Bo]

I've never heard of it.

[Manny Calavera]

I couldnt get in to Twin town my self and switched it off after 20 mins

The acid house, Irvine Welsh (trainspotting, Shallow Grave ), a black comedy, very very funny

Sexy Beast (Ray Winston)

Gangster No1 (weird and trippy)

Saving Grace (Mild comedy about drugs)

Chopper is an pukka ossie crim flick based on Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read. Well worth a look

[share4uk]

Mean Machine and Dog Soldiers...some funny moments...

Oh and as mentioned above - Human Traffic - My favourite film of all time! Bring on the weekend! :lol:

[Z]

Snatch is quite possibly my favorite movie ever.

[ToraBoraDweller]

Truth or Dare.!!
Kind hearts and Coronets.
The Medusa Touch.

(as you'll notice most are oldies)

[4play]

any of the carry on films especialy carry on up the kyber.

monty python is funny as hell as well.

[Kid1A]

the 51st state was quiet enjoyable

[AlanPartridge]

Nil By Mouth (dir by Gary Oldman) is really good.

[slick nick]

i'm suprised no one mentioned 24 hour party people. i'm on a madchester kick after hearing "fat lady wrestlers" by happy mondays and intend on downloading this. if you saw it what did you think?

[Memento]

I.D is a good 1, about an under cover police man actin as a football hoodlum....oh, and the italian job :P

[zinc1]

P.s. As you may have guessed i'm a bit of a Ray Winstone Fan! :lol: :lol:

[uNdEaD$$$]

The Wicker Man is a classic and should be viewed by all.

[InverseKinetix]

The Italian Job

[slick nick]

for those of you who've mentioned the italian job are you talking about some earlier english cast version? because with all the americans and charlize theron that doesn't really count as a british film.

Going Off Big Time is another weird little Brit movie, which is pretty cool.

[Bajito]

Ali G Indahouse
Bend It Like Beckham

[Skillian]

You win nothing&#33; You lose&#33; Good day sir&#33;

@ slick nick, is that quote from Charlie & The Chocolate Factory? If so, that&#39;s another classic you can add to the list.

[miffo]

51:st State

[Gutter]

that is indeed willy wonkas quote towards the end and that indeed isn&#39;t a britsh film lol. american cast = american movie.

I&#39;ve seen eat the rich, trainspotting, snatch, lock stock, acid house, human traffic, mean machine and am about to get 24 hour party people which i guess is either terible or sucks because no one has mentioned it. If it doesn&#39;t have britsh, scotish, irish, welsh, etc people in it speaking and acting the way they do with "wankers, prats, bollocks" etc in it it aint british.

[express98]

kevin and perry go large also the one with the one with rick mail and ade edmondson in it cant think ov the name hotel ????????? had to many beers cant think ov the full name ov the movie funny as f""k depending on yr sence houmour but brit movies all the same :D cant spell either lol ;)

[ahctlucabbuS]

and am about to get 24 hour party people which i guess is either terible or sucks because no one has mentioned it.

It´s good.

[gaz_k]

the rick mayall one is called Hotel Paradiso i think, there loads of bottom live&#39;s as well (the show they did which the film is a spin off from)

The Heart (set in Runcorn) with the guy who plays raymond calitri (think that his name) in gone in 60 seconds

24 hour party people - very good
human traffic - very good

[Aaron_T]

Some Great english movies are:

JOHNNY ENGLISH

PURELY BELTER (A GEORDIE MOVIE)

Kes - A Kestral For A Knave

Live Forever - it a film/documentary about the brit pop phenomonon with stuff from best bands in the worl like oasis, blur, pulp, elastica, shed 7, very very good..

good suggestions. i saw human traffic and dog soldiers. human traffic was alright but dog soldiers was the scotish equivalent of of any american b movie horror flick. the dialog was good though.

Gene Wilder is American and the little boy who gives the factory to sounded american. Unless he and more than half the major characters and supporting cast are British it&#39;s an American film. those oompaloompas certainly sound british don&#39;t they? :rolleyes: How&#39;s a movie going to be British when the main character isn&#39;t even British? and in comparison the guy who played turkish in snatch jason stratham or some shit like that was the lead actor in the "transporter" but that isn&#39;t a british film. And to my recollection Willy wonka aint either. :P
