Personal suggestions -

Severance (Very New)

28 Day's later
Shaun of the Dead

Dog Soldiers? lol

Its some what of a new age Warewolf movie...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280609/

I heard number 2 is in the making... code name "Fresh Meat" and has been signed as a hollywood movie.

[Cesaria]

Oh come on 28 Days Later is only good until halfway through when the whole army nonsense starts and then it descends into a pile of steaming poo.

Personally I still love Brassed Off (but then it does contain Ewan McGregor which is probably a major contributing factor to that). Also love Billy Elliott but that's due to the fact it was filmed where I was born and it's set about the time I was growing up so there's lots I can relate to in it.

[Bwelch]

Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

[Turmoil]

Get Carter (1971)
The Long Good Friday (1980)

Personal suggestions

I really enjoyed the movie all the way through... Don't get me wrong they could of used some what of an alternate plot half way through, but I have no complaints.

[Shuemue]

The Italian Job

Alfie

Anything with Peter Sellers in it

Nothing with Hugh Grant in it

[Bwelch]

Crawlspace ("The Decent" in USA)

[Lbelle]

Nothing with Hugh Grant in it

No no no no no no. Love Actually is one of my favorite movies ever, and About a Boy is fucking fantastic.

[Correction]

Hello????

Brazil

[Shuemue]

Nothing with Hugh Grant in it

No no no no no no. Love Actually is one of my favorite movies ever, and About a Boy is fucking fantastic.

Belle, you're such a girl. Although, About a Boy is Hugh's exception. I rather enjoyed it.

I've seen some of those movies,

I enjoyed watching Dog Soliders and Trainspotting. I didn't really like Shaun of the Dead much but it was okay. Snatch was awesome lol. The ending was funny as well.

Are you forgetting Hooligans? :wink:

[Gilanth]

Love , honour and Obey

Scum

[Gilanth]

Are you forgetting Hooligans? :wink:

Its an American film that's why its not realistic at all. Watch I.D for a better Hooligan movie.

Hooligans was american O.o?

I thought it was Australian?

[Falconblade]

What would you consider a UK film? Like a Film Made in UK, or a film made with a majority of the people working on it from the UK?

Either way; Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy id put up there.

[Lbelle]

I've seen 4 Weddings, and I looooooooooooooved it lol.

[asze]

Lay3r Cake is still my all time favorite, so far can't stop watching it over and over.
