Well, yes come to think about it. I remember watching it over and again when I was a littl'un trying to work out what was going on. I'm still not quite sure but on a similar line.....

Yellow Submarine is the king!!!!!!

Cleese - Would you like a mint sir?

Jones - No FUCK OFF.

Cleese - Not even a wafer-thin mint sir?

Jones - No I'm full fuck off.

Cleese - It's wafer-thin....

Jones - no...oh go on then. I suppose I've got a bit of room.

[Cleese gives Jones said mint and proceeds to do the funniest "scamper off and leap over potted plant" I've seen.]

The problem with Lock Stock was that a lot of people didn't get it.

Yes, beautiful imagery and startling subtext was lost on a lot of folk.







Oh wait, no. It was just shit.

Not exactly what i meant.

I was going more along the lines of subtle irony and humour. Mind you it does help if your not devoid of a sense of humour

Lock Stock and Snatch are both fantastic films, only gays think the opposite!

The Long Good Friday is excellent as well!

 

[legendario]

Not british but i thought Id throw in a right mind fucker.

Donnie Darko. I bought it about a year ago on DVD and it gets a cinema release here at the end of this year i think.

I recommend it to anyone who likes a challenge

Producer Mark Canton was a great admirer of the original British film Get Carter

You are obvious mistaken with the remake.
The quote was taken from the website of the "new" Get Carter.

It's British.

Muriels Wedding was Australian.
