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...:p I dont mean any with Vinny Jones in them...

That does sound good. I should catch that one.

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

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