Any other British Movie Suggestions?


From the professionals themselves, I have seen FAQ About Time Travel, and loved it, as well as Death at a Funeral...oh and also a huge Python fan. Any suggestions on other British Film that would be good?

I do know some good sitcoms, like Bottom and The Young Ones :)

You'll probably like "The Gamers" series. "The Gamers" and "The Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising". They're not British, but the production is very much like this movie. If you liked this one, you're gonna love these!

See Dead Man's Shoes... as said, it's awesome performance by Paddy Considine... As a Croatian, films of Shane Meadows represent british cinema for me, than Ken Loach... British cinema is very underrated imo, well underrated by Americans atleast.

If you're looking for something funny, someone mentioned some good and funny flicks but British sitcoms are way to go - Brits do best sitcoms, no one in the world is even close and since you saw ''Frequently Asked Questions...'' you should check ''IT Crowd'' - Chris O'Dowd is in there and it's very similar to ''American sitcoms style'' only it's not *beep* it's very funny.

I quite liked...

- The Full Monty
- Calendar Girls
- Four Weddings and a Funeral (sorry, I did!)
- Notting Hill
- Love Actually (probably the one I liked the most of this bunch)
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- Kinky Boots

* Hot Fuzz and Shawn of the Dead are a must.
* Check out Danny Boyle's films

And to a lesser degree:
- Mum's the Word
- Brassed Off

TV?
- Spaced
- Skins


Hope that helps.

It's a show, but i can't believe no one suggested Shameless. When Dean Lennox Kelly was on screen all I could think of was him as Kev..especially the first time he went into the bathroom by himself

reply

+1 to Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz

The Bed Sitting Room is another cool british sci-fi.

Lesbian Vampire Killers was a fairly entertaining recent one.
