Carry on camping

I used to work in Farringdon, and I remember they were filming one of the Bond films (probably SPECTRE) right outside.

People were standing outside their offices and there were obviously lots of crew etc around, but nothing seemed to happen and after a while everyone just wandered off and went back to work.

I've since watched SPECTRE and couldn't see anywhere in the London scenes that looked like Farringdon, so presumably it was all a bit of a waste of time

You do get to see some of that area in About a Boy though, as Hugh Grant's character lived just up the road in Clerkenwell

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Kill List is very very good.

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.

Long good Friday is up there as one of my favourites….has to be bobs best film

I watched it again the other night and it was still a great movie

Post above ….kill list …that’s good too , enjoyed that

Momento is probably my favourite film …brilliantly put together and the way it’s shown it’s one that can be watched over and over as you pick things up you didn’t notice before

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.

Yeah, if we're discounting Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

The Long Good Friday ending is a masterclass from Bob Hoskins in face acting. Very few actors could express so much from so little.

Loved that when it first came out but saw it again recently and it seemed a bit dated

Snatch was miles better

Yeah he is almost smirking as if to say well played but also knows he is facked

Dirty Pretty Things
East is East
My Beautiful Laundrette
Eden Lake

The latter is great, but not always an easy watch. A British take on Deliverance, I suppose, with the "lost in the woods" idea merging with that of closed communities.

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

I watched Empire of Light today (hence it being in my list). Beautiful film and very much worth your time if you get a chance. Sophie from Peep Show killing it again.

As well as the incredible Dead Man's Shoes, other Shane Meadows find I've enjoyed include A Room for Romeo Brass, Somers Town and Twenty Four Seven (also starring Bob Hoskins).

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.
