This is mainly for Robb, but others too

Because I rarely watch comic book/superhero films, I haven't seen Morbius, but I remember they filmed some of it in Manchester and did a reasonable job of making a section of Oldham Street look like New York, complete with yellow taxicabs

Pretty much most of the Marvel films since 2018 have been shot here in Sydney and right next to the SCG. So I’ll go and watch the cricket and on the way out see Chris Hemsworth and Paul Rudd driving out. Very surreal.

I've seen lots in your list and liked Robb. Mona Lisa being a favourite. I didn't know you liked so many British films, you mostly post about American.
To be clear, there are wonderful American films, dozens I've loved or liked.
It's just I have a personal preference for British, to me they seem more realistic, which I like.
But American westerns, space films, are the tops.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I like all sorts. Australian films mainly because they speak to me but British films have a special quality too. Especially 80’s and 90’s as that Britain (and London especially) seems to have been lost to the gentrification and blandness that is London today.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The funniest Australian film I have ever seen is The Coach made in 1980 about Collingwood Aussie Rules... highly recommended.

A British classic I never get tired of watching is The ladykillers with Alec Guiness and Peter Sellers plus Kes with Brian Glover the hilarious P. E. teacher.. cracks me up everytime!

I don't remember the title, but I really enjoyed an Oz film about an autistic? boy who makes a bank robbery from home with an underground model train, I think, it was a long time ago

Got it, Malcom. I loved it.

Stalybridge, my birthplace, provided the locations for Yanks (1979)
Much of Sir Laurence Olivier's "The Entertainer", was shot in Morecambe, particularly the old Winter Gardens theatre and ballroom.

Anything by Ken Loach. Especially Raining Stones.
