Nil By Mouth should be ranked higher than it is on that list. One of the finest films of the 90s. It's one of the flicks that shaped my tastes in cinema.
No Get Carter? ...or did I miss it?
I guess they were TV films but Made In Britain, Scum and Meantime are totally kingshit flicks that really get that grim realism down. No sugarcoating. Maybe they just have a more appreciating audience overseas?
I was never really happy with the adaption of Trainspotting. Quite a neutered approach to Welsh's work. It's a bit flawed but The Acid House was a lot better.
Shit like Four Weddings and The Full Monty makes me fucking cringe... lots of really dry and safe stuff listed too that for me illustrates reasons not to like UK's cinematic output.
Gimme Harry Brown over Harry Potter :D
