Bloody good British films.

What's Hot
axisusaxisus Frets: 28338
Come on, lets name a few. Forget your poncy, polished American movies, there's something 'earthy' and real about British films. 

A couple of days ago I saw Dead man's Shoes - what a damn fine film. A rather brutal revenge story but a riveting watch.

A couple more favourites are:

Shallow Grave
Brassed off
The long good friday


Any favourites?

    My first thought on seeing the thread title was Dead Man's Shoes but seems I have been beaten to it twice.

    Can also add This is England and Layer Cake to the list.
