With British movies making something of a comeback with the likes of Dog Soldiers, 28 Days Later, My little Eye ( No US distributor as far as I know ), Dirty Pretty things, Snatch, Lock Stock and Barrel, Once Upon a Time in the Midlands ( shot in my home town of Nottingham! yay! ) etc! etc! What as been your most memorable British movie of the last few years and why?
I am abit of a romantic, so I am going to add About A Boy, one for the ladies really, my wife forced me to watch and I rather enjoyed it. Then we have Bend It Like Beckham doing the rounds with some success, I am not a fan of Beckham, and no, I can't bend a ball like him, although growing up in England I always wanted too! Four Weddings gets knocked about abit but I quite like the movie, I think more so for the fact that Mcdowell is such a babe. Love Actually seems to be a good movie, though one as not seen it yet.
I have to admit my fave over the past few years as to be ' Dog Soldiers ' a dark, comedic horror movie that lasts right until the last bell. Kevin McKidd, Sean Pertwee, Liam Cunningham etc! makes for a good movie in my books. Some of the scenes were funny as hell. It is just refreshing to see that Horror movies of today are still alive and kicking even though this is British. I guess if you liked American Werewolf in London, then I reckon you will like this, I can only but highly recommend this wonderful film.
I am hearing good things about ' My Little Eye ' though available in the UK on DVD, I am somewhat of the understanding that no distributor as been found for this movie in the US at present, but definately one to look out for in the near future.
