Can you suggest me some nice English films?

[falku]

Hello Friends,

I don't like horror films. It doesn't matter if the film is new or old.

I would really appreciate if you also summarised the storyline.

Thanks in advance

Maybe check out the English Patient, is is English and encourages patience, I think...

[Qprjames]

Bridget jones! And if it's a case of watching to learn English, I would pick a film that originates from uk not USA! :)

Same goes also in Rob Schneider movie....cool, right?:)

THanks to everyone to given your information...

Do you mean English films (as in films that are produced in England) or English-speaking films?

England tends to produce films that provide parodies of the British way of life and they're actually really, really good at it. In recent times, there seems to be a real undercurrent of violence to them that reflects the way the country is changing. Being English myself, I've noticed the changes more when new stuff is released but having said, the violence, to a certain degree, has always been there.

Here's a selection of my favourite ENGLISH-MADE films:

The Long Good Friday
Quadrophenia
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Human Traffic
Mona Lisa
Scum
28 Days Later
24 Hour Party People
Zulu
This is England
Alfie
Control
Sid and Nancy
Gregory's Girl
Monty Python's Life of Brian
Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner
A Clockwork Orange
Get Carter
Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
Trainspotting
Kes
The Third Man
Don't Look Now

[The King Game]

Trainspotting is good. Real good.

[Rigmonkey]

Trainspotting is good. Real good.

There was also a film made of another Irvine Welsh book called The Acid House. Not exactly on a par with Trainspotting but it's pretty true to the series of short stories in the original publication. Very dark and shows you the more sinister side of life in Scotland which is something that Welsh excels in.

Met him once in a Buckinghamshire pub (Irvine Welsh) and he was a lovely chap but you sensed that much of his writing comes from personal experience. I was sitting there waiting for him to fly off the handle at any minute!

I would suggest you to watch;

Outsourced
A Walk to Remember
Love Actually
The notebook
Inception
October Sky

[OnefortheMoney]

Two new additions:

A Room for Romeo Brass
Dead Mans Shoes

Two early efforts from Shane Meadows (the first film has a few of the cast from 'This is England' in it. Both star Paddy Considine, a seriously fantastic Brit actor who also featured in the Arctic Monkeys video for 'Leave Before the Lights Come On'.

Both very enjoyable.

[Janechan]

The Fugitive!
It's a very fantasticing film.

[EmilyF]

Not English but if you want to watch a seriously stylish film that messes with your head (and don't mind a few sex scenes and bad language), Enter the Void is worth a look. Watched it last night after getting back from a club with friends and it was really trippy. Not for everyone but cleverly done.

[kristen]

I like A walk to remember and Transformers

[Rigmonkey]

I've been doing the Monty Python films again recently Worth a second look (or a first if you haven't seen them before).

Life of Brian
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Meaning of Life

I think you have to be English to really appreciate them, but they are pretty funny no matter where you come from.

[AnthonyFreedom12]

I think, Titanic
Water world
Anaconda
2012

Are very nice English films.

[IM Today]

Apart from the fact none of them are English and only one of them is even remotely good! :o

Come on! Waterworld was absolutely SLAMMED by the critics and the public and rightfully so. A crying shame that a great actor such as Dennis Hopper has to walk through eternity knowing that he has that crap on his CV. I'd rather spend an evening drowning kittens that having to watch that.

[Dubbo Pete]

Hangover 2. That tattoo scene is so funny!!!!

[Bob Gots]

The girl with the red tattoo. I really liked this movie...

I've been watching wierd stuff again.

The Human Centipede.

Don't eat within an hour of watching this if you don't want to double-check what you had for dinner. Everything about this was so wrong.

I'm watching the sequel tonight. :D

[abramlinkens]

I have lot of interest to watch new movie. In my point of view there are some movies such like Hangover, Avatar, Transformers, 2012, Knowing, The Reaping, etc. are very good movie to watch.

[chinlee13]

Armageddon - Definitely one of the coolest films of all time. Asteroid about to hit the earth, a bunch of guys saves the earth.

The Notebook- It's a romantic movie but good nevertheless. It's about a couple that falls in love till the day they die.

Lord of the Rings trilogy- Can't miss this film.

Hangover 1 & 2 - one of the funniest movies of recent times.

[madanjackson]

Waterworld was absolutely slammed by critics and the public and rightly so. A shame that a great actor like Dennis Hopper has to walk through eternity, knowing he has that shit on his resume.

Seriously, but why have you repeated the opinions of another poster word-for-word? The only value you added was changing 'crap' for 'sh*t', which is as good a description of Waterworld as I've ever heard.

I think that people have missed the point of an "English" film entirely.

[Rigmonkey]

I think that people have missed the point of an "English" film entirely.

Definitely. I don't think I've seen an English film on here for weeks!

No sure if I've mentioned this one already but watched it again last night. 'Sexy Beast' with Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley is up there with some of the better ones. Kingsley is pyschopathically excellent in this one. Lots of dark humour and Winstone is slowly but surely becoming a national treasure over here. A couple of great scenes but the one where Kingsley is turfed off the plane for smoking (and the following scene where he blags his way out of it) are amongst the best.
