Happy Face 29 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I was looking at the guardian music reviews last week and was amused that literally everything was 3 or 4 stars. They've gone out on a limb this week and started the backlash on Ed Sheerhan with a 2 star review https://www.theguardian.com/music+tone/albumreview Trend setters.

Clockwork Orange is not a British film or it would have been in my list. Written and Dir by Kubrick (American) Warner Bros. (American). The screenplay diverges from the book as well. The weird thing is that Kubrick I always felt had a very English quality about him and lived in the UK a lot.

Dr Gloom 22192 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I thought it was a British production given it was shot on location in England and stared British actors. Ok, I'll swap it for get carter. Actually, no. Naked Maggie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I really like Naked, but I have trouble going back to it. Lawrence or Kwai I can still put them on even though I've seen them loads of times...Same with Life of Brain or Withnail...I haven't tired of them. There is a lot of air and space in these films the viewer can move into (we take up our old positions we remember from previous viewings). Find Naked a bit too disconnected and the intense melancholy too distancing. It's classic British realism and clearly a standout Leigh film. https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2008/feb/20/isnakedmodernbritainsmost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35663 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 You've probably seen them but, if not, other Shane Meadows' films like A Room For Romeo Brass and Dead Man's Shoes are well worth checking out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Dead Mans Shoes is outstanding. Not got round to Romeo Brass or This Is England yet but watched Le Donk the other week which is canny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
