Great Expectations (David Lean version)
Life of Brian
Thirty Nine Steps (Hitchcock version)

Great Expectations is the best film version of any Dickens novel.

Yes. Should then send you on your way to Kill List, Sightseers and A Field in England. All a good mixture of the comical and disturbing.

Bridge on the river Kwai .........simply a masterpiece.

Thanks.

 

[The Large One]

Down Terrace, all i know about this was it was filmed in Brighton, has anyone else seen it?
Is it worth watching?

It is.

A British gangster film about as far removed from anything Danny Dyer could spew out as you could get.

Claustrophobic, meancing, psychotic, cold and brilliant. With a little bit of live folk music thrown in.

Yes it is. In very broad terms, it's kind of This Is England meets Shameless meets Lock, Stock but set in urban Brighton. A couple of the principal actors are actually from the neighbourhood in which it is set too.

1.Beverly Hills Coo
2.Schindlers List
3.Its a Wonderful Life

I must have missed the film in which Axel Foley inserted bananas in the tailpipes of plain clothes detectives' cars in East Riding.
