I just finished watching Sexy Beast, and what a good movie, and Ben Kingsley is so bloody good in it he's such class, i never really noticed him before this but he definitely has a new fan now, he plays that character to a tee, i love our British movies, football factory is such a wicked movie has to be my favorite, Essex boys was just brilliant and there are so many more.

I was wondering whats your favorite British movies are? im running out of ones to watch now,

Rise of the foot soldier, watch with cation, pretty graphic.

Not Sure about British but if you like Ben Kingsley you can watch his Epic

Ghandi-(IMDB LINK), or his well acted
Searching for Bobby Fisher-(IMDB Link).

Not seen that yet, but i what to im gonna go download it now,

Severance that was so funny, when Danny Dyers character sticks that knife up that blokes bum and then kicks him to the floor, that had my laughing my head off and cringing at the same time, i must have seen that movie about 15 times,

Oh, and everyone should watch The Football Factory with directors commentary, Danny Dyer and Nick Love had me in tears, they are so funny together, i must have watched it about 3 or 4 times with the directors commentary on.

Ghandi is an excellent movie, Ben is magical in this movie. I have seen it maybe 5 times. I recommend it for everyone.
"Saving Grace" is a wonderful comedy so is "Death at funeral".

Rita, Sue and Bob Too love that movie, but i think you probably have to be English to understand the humor, i might be wrong, it's just such an English movie. Alan Clarke is such a good director, Scum's such a classic now, i love that movie it always makes me cry


I think I'll give Gandhi a try, i think Ive seen the other one Falcore

:drinks:Bluebaby I am not English and I admire (always did) British sense of humor. I love British movies and not necessary comedies.

Thats good to know, i always think our humor goes over other peoples heads

The bit in the greenhouse... *cringes*

Yep, thats the bit that makes me cry, and when the guy cuts his wrists, that makes my tummy do flip flops

I enjoyed The Krays starring the Kemp brothers from Spandau Ballet....

http://imdb.com/title/tt0099951/

Sexy Beast was brilliant!!

I saw the krays it was a good movie,

I know i loved Sexy Beast

i love the movie 28 Days later, the best horror in like forever

i agree that British Movies are good, British actors\actresses act in lots of american movies though!

did you watch House of Sand and Fog its another good movie for Ben Kingsley i think you gonna love it

Im so gonna dl that movie now, thank for letting me know.

Trainspotting, that is a really brilliant movie, i think i have seen it about 6 times

I love British movies, there so much more original then American ones, there are loads of good American ones movies, but there too obvious and you know whats gonna happen

british movies can be taken as an alternative cinema (sure not all of them)

what i like about them is that they dont have all these hollywood spices that kills any original-book!

they care about dialogs more than anything els.

the comedy is good but you have to know that sometimes you need to know more about the culture to understand the jokes.

the only problem with british movies is the sub-accents! not every british accent is understandable by everyone (even the british themselves if i can say)

i believe that as far as british movies keep there style, dont feel like they need to race with hollywood, they'll have there own movers world-wide

as for the british actors\actresses who acts in american movies\tv shows, well as far as they keep there style (some have theater background that make them even better actors) and there accents! they'll be fine

ps: i love american movies in case anyone wonders! ;-) but the truth should be told, isnt it!

Im English to the core, my favorite saying is "jog on my son" thats makes me love my country even more

The Descent, that was a really good movie, really scary.

Get Carter, now there's a good film. Way better than the Stallone remake. In fact anything with Michael Caine in is good. The Italian job for instance, yet another great British film that the remake failed to live up to.

That's so true, i love Michael Caine's voices its got a really nice sound to it

He makes for great quotes too.

"You're a big man but you're out of shape and I do this for a living" - Get Carter

"You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off" - The Italian Job

My favourite british movie is quadrophenia! Think it is absolutely fantastic!

Withnail & I.....absolutely hilarious and a bit sad as well

I enjoyed "This is England" (2006), about a bunch of young skinheads in the early 80s..the boy playing the lead is brilliant, he's only a kid. Besides looking th the dynamics of these particular kids (mainly boys), its also showing how the National Front fascist party basically took over this subculture and used it for their own <evil> purposes
