 Although not strictly British, being directed by an Irishman, In The Name Of The Father is a mega ace film....it's quasi-British, being not American or continental, but dealing with British/Irish issues.

Oh, Mr. Porter, starring Will Hay, Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt

Will Hay was a comic genius

William Porter is working as a lowly wheel tapper on the English Railways until, through the influence of his downtrodden brother-in-law (who happens to be managing director of the railway company), he is offered the position of station master at the isolated station at Buggleskelly in Northern Ireland. Rather a poisoned chalice, as station masters as Buggleskelly have a reputation for going mad and not lasting all that long... Once in Buggleskelly, he hears the story of One-eyed-Joe (the phantom miller), meets his two station hands (the wily Harbottle and good-for-nothing Albert) and somehow has his train stolen by the Phantom Miller... Featuring some of the most inspired lines of pre-war cinema ("next trains gone","I'm their centre forward","If I can't be Gladstone, I'm not playing","You're wasting your time","Everything around here is either too old or won't work - and you're both!"...watch how Porter sniffs and bumbles through life!


Jimmy Perry has stated that he came up with the triumvirate of Captain Mainwaring, Corporal Jones and Private Pike in Dad's Army after watching Oh, Mr Porter.

Brassed off was OK, hardly a classic though.

Has anybody mentioned The Full Monty yet?

You named Love Actually earlier on so none of your contributions count from there on. And no you're not entitled to an opinion Smiley

east is east

Laughed my socks off watching this gem, otherwise made me think about the serious "Real" movies such as:

This Sporting Life
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
The L-Shaped Room
A Taste of Honey
