What'd you think of it? Pretty good huh.

It was hysterical. I don't think I stopped laughing the whole way through. The scene where he's in the police station and they pull back the curtain and piss was leaking everywhere holy shit

>>84656854
Fish Tank
Trainspotting

>>84657535
I've seen trainspotting. Fish Tank seems pretty dark I dunno. I watched The Ice Storm yesterday so I think I should watch something lighter

Not a classic as such, but I really enjoyed Submarine

>>84656854
Naked

>>84656854
the thing is this movie is considered unfunny trash in britain
you, the american, only find it funny because of the zany accents and lingo
withnail and i is to britain what big mama's house is to america and viced-versa

>>84657721
Yeah I've seen that a while back. Really enjoyed it as well.

>>84657736
Damn that looks pretty good. I think I'll go with that one. Thanks

every single Mike Leigh film. he's the most quintessentially "British" director ever, and most of his work is great.

>In 2000, readers of Total Film voted Withnail and I the third greatest comedy film of all time. In 2004 the same magazine named it the 13th greatest British film of all time. Withnail & I was 38th in Channel 4's 100 Greatest Films poll.
>In August 2009 The Observer polled 60 eminent British film filmmakers and film critics who voted it the second best British film of the last 25 years.
>In 2007 a digitally remastered version of the film was released by the UK Film Council. It was shown at over fifty cinemas around the UK on 11 September, as part of the final week of the BBC's "Summer of British Film" season. In 2011, Time Out London named it the 7th-greatest comedy film of all time.

Room for Romeo Brass by Shane Meadows is good too, solid list.

24 Hour Party People

PERFUMED PONCE

good taste, but the man's name is Paddy Considine.

also, his film Tyrannosaur is absolutely worth bringing up, though he doesn't star.
