Best British Movies

'I demand to have some booze!' 'We've gone on holiday by mistake' 'The bastard must've died' - Most quotable film ever?

A young attractive Scottish lad obsessed with his mother and in love with the woman who looks just like her? If that isnt worth 5 stars what is? It's an excellently cast film - with Jamie Bell excelling in a role that doesnt require extravagant tapdancing. Some of the shots by the clock tower are outstanding too. A film that initially looks innocent is plagued with dark undertones of a Freudian love.

This film was really great, brilliantly heart-warming and the two main boys played their roles excellently. I was really impressed with it's childish naivity and was drawn to a really sweet conclusion. The religious prospect of things could perhaps have been embellished slightly to make things more dramatic but perhaps that would override the film's original intentions. Brilliant!

The grittiness of this film at times can be overwhelming, but the realness and bittersweet nature of it really gives the film the edginess that Mike Leigh was trying to encapsulate. David Thewlis really excells as the well spoken yet utterly shambolic Johnny - and his quest for enlightenment in run down 90s London. A very strong drama with excellent performances and a sharp dialogue.

James Mcavoy makes what should've been a mediocre college movie into something a little more special. The script is quite amusing at times but it is the actors (bar catherine tate..eurgh) that give the movie it's charisma. A cracking soundtrack too helps the 80s setting come alive.

This is an excellent film that has an incredibly poignant social commentary on Thatcher's Britain. Shaun is a little boy who's father has died in the war that he so despises. So when a bunch of skinheads pick him up off the streets, Shaun's underlying disgust for the reason his father died leads him into a war between two social groups.

A completely ridiculous plot, with a very obnoxious Micheal Caine. Dylan Moran steals the show - and the charming soundtrack evidently makes it all the more lovely. A fun, not exactly perfect movie treat you should love if you have a sense of humour.

Malcolm McDowell is amazing, but the film is great too. Lindsay Anderson's bizzare to colour to black and white direction is great (Although it might have just been a case that they ran out of money, but on the dvd commentary lovely Malcolm says that he had been a fan of that style from watching another film) and the story and the surrealism are fantastic. I love it so much, its great. Great film. Mcdowell is brilliant.

What do you want from the shop?

Cornetto...

Brave Sir Robin ran away, he bravely ran away away

A film that begs so many questions, but shows so much charisma and talent from a young Malcolm Mcdowell. Why are we attracted to a serial rapist and murderer? Because he does a bloody god job convincing us. Difficult to watch at times, but amazingly clever. Stanley Kubrick's finest.

Ridiculously ridiculous - Monty Python are some damn funny gents. And we all know that 'He's not the messiah hes a very naughty boy' is the best line spoken in cinema ever.

It was one of those feel good films that I see so many of - usually made for BBC tv productions - such as Driving School and Ballet Shoes, but nonetheless the film was ace and covered all aspects magnificently.

This was a very chilling drama, I love it when films really make you feel for the characters. The plot was incredibly believable and dramatic.

I thought the alternative ending on the dvd for this was much more poignant, but I can understand why they had what they had instead.
