teen brit movies

If you like horror comedy, then I'd recommend The Cottage.

Both of Edgar Wright's films (Hot Fuzz and Sean of the Dead) are brilliant as well.

Oh! And not to forget some classic British films, the original Italian Job, Wicker Man, Alfie and Bedazzled are too brilliant to miss. Also, any old Ealing comedies such as Kind Hearts and Coronets and the original Lady Killers.

:) hope that helps

You might try "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging". It's based on a series of books by Louise Rennison, which you should definitely read. The first book is actually called "Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging", though.

you would like the hole
and check out adulthood
and kidulthood

I'd recommend Gregory's Girl. It's actually a Scottish movie, and it's a cute and funny teen comedy.

Not really any teen movies to suggest but I know others have hit some of the best ones (In Bruges, Italian Job) I enjoyed the Baker with the guy from Life. Also Boondock Saints while set in the US the main characters are Irish. The last Legally Blonde movie the girls were British.

And if you are looking for a killer show check out Doctor Who and it's spin off Torchwood. It came out in the 60s but was recreated in 05 and currently they are working on a year of specials before series five comes out. And if you are into British sci fi Primeval is good. I do have to admit they do some great scifi, here in the states we stick to criminal and medical dramas but personally I am always up for a bit of scifi. Also the show Blackpool was great as was Life on Mars, the original not the US remake.

I'm not going to the hetero hop with a bunch of beer chugging breeders

Unfortunately, the state of the British film industry means that there arn't actually that many decent films made in the British Isles. There are some, and some very, very good ones, but also we have a strange distilation effect of the Amrican studios;
a lot of British executives seem to think the only way to revive British industry is to ape American, and make it 'British' by adding famous British people.... it by and large doesn't work, because the films that make it out of those executive meetings have little to no imagination left in them, and just seem like a watered down imitation of bigger budget American stuff.

However, there are glimmers of hope!
I really would suggest buying a region 2/free dvd player (if you can) and buying off Amazon.co.uk etc. Though try before you buy if you can.

For teen oriented things, there's
Skins (sex, drugs rocknroll, comedy is slipped in here and there),
The inbetweeners (cringe inducing comedy),
Nearly Famous (drama heavy show about kids in a performing arts school) - hard to find, some but little comedy
Hex (aparently the British Buffy, though not really... its a lot darker. Very little comedy in this, but it is quite good in my opinion).

British comedy shows;
Father Ted (technically Irish, comedy about Catholic Priests stuck on a mad island. Is funnier than it sounds!),
Spaced (comedy, from people who went on to make Shaun of the dead, Hot Fuzz), Peep Show (again, cringe-worthy viewing at some points, highlights the not-so-noble parts of people),
Black Books (an anti-social man who runs a book shop. Again, is funnier than it sounds)
Green Wing (very wierd comedy set in a hospital, part sitcom, part sketch), Little Britain (I'm not really a fan of this show, aparently its one of the best British comedies around, but I don't really find it that funny)

Sketch shows;
Things have moved on (in a way) from Monty Python in Britain, though everyone has a nod to them. A lot you would have to know a lot about British culture/celebrity to understand, but some of it could still tickle a funny bone.

Dead Ringers (you won't get a lot of this if you're from America, but if you're not a fan of George Bush, this could make you laugh until it hurts.)
Armstrong and Miller (intelligent comedy sketches)
Katy Brand (more UK based comedy, but she does skits on Hollywood stars),
That Mitchell and Webb Look

The best things that British television makes is Classical book adaptations; pride and prejudice etc. There was a series Lost in Austen which had an interesting twist on this, where a woman found a way into these books. - subtle comedy, but its there.


Films;
The Parole Officer,
Shaun of the Dead (seen/heard of Zombieland? methinks this was an inspiration),
Hot Fuzz (mocks big American action films, puts them in a small British village setting),
Breakfast on Pluto (a bit wierd, if you have problems with accents you may need subtitles. About a sexually confused young man growing up in the 'troubles' in ireland in the 70's)


stand-up;
don't underestimate British comedians either. Again, this is very UK-based comedy.
Dara Obriain,
Russel Howard (young and surreal),
Eddie Izzard (older and surreal),
Micheal McIntyre,
Omid Djalili (Iranian/British Iranian - he puts on a thick accent to throw you, but he's a great comedian - you may know him from stereotypical middle eastern parts in Hollywoods films such as the Mummy),
Lee Evans
Bill Bailey (surreal again)
Russel Brand (he was in St. Trinians as flash Harry and has his own stand up shows)
