"English or any other damn country"

I just finished watching trainspotters and damn it was good.
So it made me wonder all english made films that I have seen are bloody brilliant so what about american films?
Are they all quantity over quality?
What other films have you seen that are not from england or america that are brilliant?

Well your mum has common sence I went to a amrican resturant I ordered the ribs and ther was seriously.
14% meat
86% fat
I almost threw up.

My mum says the same thing about some of their food and other products.
Quantity over quality.

No, it's just a bit where they're walking past a school. Or, well, you don't see that it's a school in the film. But it is.

Yah.

I know but it was a english film.
Really three minute walk? Can you get to the flat where all that diarea was? That was funny.

Trainspotting was set mostly in Scotland.

One particular scene a three minute walk from my house.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.

Etc.

I have been recommended to hire out Amelié - everyone that has seen it says it is a work ofpure brilliance so...


I have seen alot of french subtitle films that i cannt remember the names of that are amazing also.

To be honest, I find British films are either very good, or completely poor. For example I loved Trainspotting, Dog Soldiers, Lock Stock, Snatch etc. and they're all British. Most other British films I have seen are naff. US/UK films are in different leagues in my opinion, could almost be seen as another genre of film lol.

We make fewer films, and in a desperate attempt to try and convince ourselves and the world that we don't actually suck at film making, and in an attempt to relive the glory days of British film, we hold up sub standard films as excellence, all of which are firmly based in reality because anything else is beyond our budget or ability. In addition, we'll try and claim, on the thinnest of evidence, films are British.

I aim to please thank you thank you.
