[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

so long as no fucking guy ritchie films get a vote - job's a good un, democracy or not he's a fucking gobshite who writes in cliche's... The Italian Job is a good call, some of the old ealing comedies with Peter Sellers also. Gandhi, Flight of the Phoenix, Brazil, the St Trinian's went down well during summer holidays years ago, and Trainspotting was fucking amazing when it came out - took uk cinema in a new direction

[Stu Monty]

The correct answer is Life of Brian.

[Herp McDerp]

A couple of years ago I watched a movie about a couple of druggies, I have no idea what it was called but I do still remember almost every bit of it(except the fucking name, I keep thinking of birdwatching for some reason, but Google didn't turn anything up), and I remember thinking the charachter Diane was good looking, I'm pretty sure it was a British movie, it did more to keep me off drugs than anything else, if it is British it gets my vote, just ignore this spazzy post otherwise.

 

Life of Brian is also a very good shout, probably the only thing my dad and I both find funny, I doubt there will ever be a movie like that again, you just can't get sick of it no matter how many times you watch it, I've tried, believe me, you just can't.

[Stouffer]

It's Zulu.

That's all.

 

Oh and George Harrison, the best Beatle (without him we wouldnt have had Life of Brian and maybe Withnail).

Trainspotting is quality.

 

The first half an hour of 28 Days Later is superb.

Stand By Me is a great film, but as American as Osama Bin Laden.

[Guest simon]

Was a long time ago i watched it. I was in Wales on a holiday with all my family and i mean all. When i watched it i could of swore it was English ha ha but i was about 12. guess i'm wrong though id love to watch it again just cant find it anywhere. i had great memories because of that film. I did some crazy stuff ha ha some holiday.

[hamstrung]

I didn't mean "As American as Osama Bin Laden", obviously, cause that makes no sense in this context. What with it being an American film and everything.

 

Damn you and your wily ways, Simon.
