[The Albion Roar]

Plenty that have been mentioned, but surprised no-one has mentioned 'Still Crazy'. Quite a giggle.

Or if they have I've missed it.

 

[Norman Potting]

Wallace and Gromit in the curse of the Were - Rabbit.

 

[Motogull]

Adding in:

Once Upon a Time in the Midlands
Twin Town

 

[FamilyGuy]

This Happy Breed

Sheer understated genius, and nearly all shot in a single room - Noel Coward writing at his best, with David Lean at the helm.
Robert Newton, Celia Johnson ....

No nudity though!

Over 10 pages and Gandhi hasn't been mentioned.

If I had to select one British film pre-war - Goodbye, Mr. Chips.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I watched yesterday The 49th Parallel, 1941 Powell and Pressburger film. It was endlessly laced with propaganda, of course, against the fiendish Nazis, but the mysticality, and tenderly dark philosophy that I associate with them, still penetrated proceedings. It reminded me again how purely excellent they were as filmmakers from A Matter of Life and Death to The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes - a name part sullied by The Red Shoe Diaries - and Peeping Tom. For me, they're up there with the greats.

Sleuth. The original. Feels like a stage play on the big screen but what the hell? Annoyingly I was once a guest at a wedding at Athelhampton House where it was filmed but only realised that the significance of the venue some time afterwards. Had I known at the time I would have been camping it up with my best Larry lines all afternoon.
