Great British Film

[Invictus_88]

Alright, The Great Escape. Just saw it on BBC1.

I don't think I need say much on the matter.

(Wonderful)

God-damn, it's cheesy. It's overdone. I'm half-ashamed.

But I love this film. Doubly so the forming square in the desert.

Quote:

We might not have Hollywood's money, the je ne sais quoi of the French auteurs, or the technical brilliance of Asian film-making, but we've still produced some cracking movies in this country over the years.

The best of them, from the Bond films to the work of Mike Leigh, don't try to be anything they're not. In fact, as with the examples in the image gallery below, it's often their very Britishness that makes them so good.

I've seen it twice, my verdict is the same as yours. I've an unwavering love for thaose films, renews my faith in British animation and forms a pleasantly harmless comedic counterbalance to the cutting natures of Messrs Bremner, Bird and fortune.

Yeah, better than the ones you have. British film industries produced my two favourie films EVER, Withnail and I and The Third Man <3  

[Invictus_88]

Withnail and I, good lord. Too few people have seen that film..

..'film' doesn't quite cover it though. It's more of a masterpiece, a masterpeice with a hangover.

Has Lawrence of Arabia been mentioned?

Has Lawrence of Arabia been mentioned?

Most probably.  

[Boolean Julian]

Ah well. Good film. Anyway...Withnail and I!
That film deserves more than one mention. In fact, this thread should be renamed "Withnail and I...and other good British films"  

[Invictus_88]

I'm not sure anyone did mention Lawrence of Arabia yet.

Shaun of the Dead, just watched it again. Yup, I do like it. It's not particularly deep, but it's pretty amusing.
