Good Brit Movies

[ZLOsiris]

Jus downloaded human traffic ... dam good movie ... a nice break from the norm any other good brit movies????? thanx

[MetroStars]

After moving 2 the UK -- I asked the same question people told me 2 watch

Trainspoting

Shallow Grave

Long Time Dead

24 Hour Party People ( an amzing movie )

[Illuminati]

Can an American member pls answer me one thing - Is there a demand for British movies over there? :w00t:

Ones I&#39;d recommend from the past decade include Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels <- Get ASAP&#33;
Snatch <- Get ASAP&#33;
East is East
Bridget Jones&#39; Diary - If you can stand the semi-feminist crap that takes up a bit
Trainspotting

Just please - for f***&#39;s sake - Just don&#39;t, under any circumstances, download Charlotte Church&#39;s "film" :P :D :lol:

[Illuminati]

If you want to see the Brits have a stab as some horror, you can try "The Hole" - Not up to scratch as the other mentioned films are, but it is decent if you don&#39;t mind the teen sex, drink & drugs and the psychological f***-up midway.

I just convinced you to watch it, didn&#39;t I? :D

I know Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels & Snatch were popular in the US

I think Bridget Jones&#39; Diary was popular 2

not sure about trainspotting but i know Ewan McGregor has a good following in the US

[callum]

I quite liked Love Honour And Obey.

[juderobs]

Dog Soldiers
28 Days Later
and most of above ;)

ps MetroStars 24hr Party People is good film I agree, was a Big New Order / Joy Division /Warsaw fan and many other on Factory records. And being from NW England, I saw a lot of Tony Wilson on Granada Reports etc

Also did you notice it was Andy Serkis (Gollum) who played the genius producer Martin Hannet ?

[MetroStars]

Fuck man i luv ( still do ) New Order - and Joy Divison and i din&#39;t notice that director guy

[Wolverine]

Charlotte Church had a film?&#33; Good job I never saw it, let alone heard of it when it was out, otherwise I would have been forced to put bullets in my head. Repeatedly.

[Illuminati]

Trust me - You don&#39;t want to.

I think it didn&#39;t even make £900 at her home town of Cardiff, let alone the rest of the UK :D

I think a few might have wanted to watch it to question its cultural value...but they ran out of bullets ;)

[sum_sicko]

Snatch
Lock Stock n 2 smoking barrels
Trainspotting


3 of the best films

[ezyryder]

All these films are great suggestions, however even tho Britain hasn&#39;t had its claim to fame for movies, well we are the gods of rock n roll.

we brought you

Led Zeppelin
Rolling Stones
brought together Jimi Hendrix Experience
Cream + Eric Clapton
Slash was part British
Iron Maiden i believe
Black Sabbath
AC/DC (although park Aussie)
Mark Knopfler
The Beatles
Radiohead

many other huge classics, but my brain storming wasn&#39;t going too well.

yes definetely. i think a lot of us are getting tired of hollywood crap and are looking for foreign films to fill the void. And not all of us speak another language, thus, thus english films are quite popular.

Actually "the transporter" is a french movie... Yay&#33; We too can make hollywood-style crap&#33;


Try and find some Hammerfilms prods from the 60s... Classic horror films like The phantom of the opera and all the Dracula movies with Christopher Lee...

Bridget Jones Diary?

:glag:

I really liked Lock, Stock and definitely Snatch. Mean Machine and 28 Days Later weren't bad either.

28 Weeks Later should be pretty good as well.

[Tempestv]

D

Also any James Bond movie (Well I thought they were British - Weren't most done for Pinewood Studios or something? :huh:)

the early ones were done at pinewood studios, but at some point they moved them to hollywood. I think Moonraker was the first american bond film.

Full Metal Jacket was an English film that was quite good in my opinion.

Also high up on my list are snatch, Lock stock and two smoking barrels, the hole (not scary, but a pretty good thriller), any monty python, and the italian job.

[linsook]

are there any trackers/sites that host brit movies?

[Tempestv]

probably not any that just host brit movies, but any of the movies mentioned here could be found on just about any torrent site. you shouldn't have trouble finding any of these.

[Workcheese]

Severance. Ranks up there with Dog Soldiers and Shaun of the Dead.

[CrabGirl]

Severance.

Funny AND dark. Brits do it so much better
