British Movies
Just watched "Harry Brown" on CHCH Channel, what a great film, IMO of course, almost an English copy of "Gran Torino"
Any one seen any other UK films that also show the UK in a bad light...
I dont mean any with Vinny Jones in them...

You might also enjoy Blitz, with Jason Statham. I thought it was pretty good.

Re: British Movies
Two of my faves are A Bridge Too Far and Charge Of The Light Brigade - something about British cock-ups which I thoroughly enjoy.

Re: British Movies
Some more recommendations:
Get Carter (1971 Michael Caine, not the Stallone remake)
The Long Good Friday
This is England

I love Kes. Reminds me of my school.
Well chin chin, do carry on with your mud pies.
