Favorite Kitchen-Sink Movies?


I don't know if this term is only used in the UK, but every one I've seen has been good. I love "Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner" and many more. Bryan Forbes is a fine director from the handful of movies I've seen of his. I love Ken Loach and Mike Leigh the best when it comes to British directors, but I love neo-realism, social-realism, kitchen-sink, etc.

What are your favorites?

ITS OK...HE GOT BETTER..HIS NEW MOVIE HAS LESS SINKS THOUGH.

The original Phantasm is one of my all time favorites. Although lesser known, in second place I would choose Rolling Thunder.

I saw "Looking for Eric" and "My Name is Joe" - good stuff.. I'll add the other two to my IMDB watchlist.

Also, thank you for actually answering the question without flippancy.

You're welcome, Enjoy 👍

I should make a movie about my odyssey of fixing my kitchen sink.

reply

I think "Control" (2007) fits the look you are describing. It has an odd realistic feeling to it, kind of depressing yet compelling.
