Noticed a couple of British flicks on Netflix that some of you might not have had the chance to see yet;
Harold's Going Stiff: I'm sure I've mentioned this before somewhere, but not sure if its been recommended anywhere in this thread, either way its a quality movie. Unique and incredibly endearing take on the zombie genre. Hard to call it a horror as its much more drama with a slice of comedy. Basically about an elderly guy who is suffering from Onset Rigours Disease (he's turning into a zombie) and his carer. Beautiful story about their friendship and loneliness, well worth a watch. Just don't expect a full on zombie flick with blood, guts and action.
Four Lions: Hilarious comedy about an inept, British born, terrorist cell aspiring to become suicide bombers. Obviously a controversial theme that is going to make for uncomfortable viewing for a lot of people, but its all handled incredibly well. Not sure how the movie would translate to an international audience, but I think its the type of movie that if you aren't laughing after watching for 10 or 15 minutes then its probably not for you. Probably one of the best British comedies in recent years. That said, this is more of a tentative recommendation as I really don't think it will be for everyone.
