Hate that film, Richard E Grant and his bloody Camberwell carrot aghhh....

Ohh I love British cinema. Probably my most favorite ever. Closely followed by Japan and France. And Italy.
Anything by Ealing studious. Kind Hearts and Coronets. Especially The Ladykiller, which I believe is on of the best comedies ever.
What if by Lindsay Anderson. Anything by David Lean. Hitchcock is British. Made a lot of great film before he went to USA. Anything made by most of the directors.
As I said one of the best cinema countries. I know why I´m here. Just start from the beginning. They did invented a detail. And parallel story plot.
So start from the beginning. However from the new ones. Ben Wheatly is quickly becoming my favorite. So Kill List and Sightseers. Not to mention he is pretty funny fella himself.

at least six. Tales of Hoffman is an absolute masterpice that is grossly under-rated. Being an opera probably doesn't help.

of recent docs, both The Impostor and You've Been Trumped are crackers.

Hard to narrow it down. The Ladykillers, Peeping Tom, A Man for All Seasons and Women in Love spring immediately to mind. All very different.
I think Trainspotting is a good shout for a very good British film from the last 20 years. But I'm struggling to think of great films that have been made recently. A few decent ones and an awful lot of rubbish. I guess it takes time for a film to become considered great.

Does Barry Lyndon count as British? If so, that's up there for me too.

Thing is, I see a LOT of films because of mr mania's obsession - quite a few of them repulse me, especially if they are violent.
But he has made me appreciate loads that I wouldn't have gone to on my own.
And since he and a mate started the film club here there's been an opportunity to get films that would never be shown at the local.

Oh Lucky Man! is a magnificent mess of a film. I like magnificent messes.
And thinking of Helen Mirren
, I think The Cook the Thief, His Wife and her lover is a great film. Maybe it's not appreciated so much here because Greenaway isn't a very British filmmaker, if that makes sense.

Yeah, he creates moods and themes with music and lighting and colours.
It can go wrong for me. I didn't like Prospero's Books, for instance. But at least he was trying something.
