On this day in 1969 at the BFI London Film Festival, Kes was shown for the first time, in my opinion still one of the best British films ever made.

The school scenes remind me a lot of being back in school, I got wacked by teachers and the head plenty of times myself, playin football on muddy pitches...etc playing out and coming home dirty, fantastic times

Whats everyones favourite British films? Top 5s? for me its

Kes ✅
Clockwork Orange ✅
Get Carter ✅
Blow Up ✅
If ✅ ✅

There mine, I like ones that show life in Britain, including the enviroments as a back drop such as the colliery in the back ground in Kes, this is why i wouldnt for example pick the Third Man, even though its a classic film.

The Third Man I take your point as it's set in Vienna.
Hobsons Choice*
This Sporting Life
Saturday Night and Sunday morning.
Room at the Top.
The Lavender Hill Mob
*its as if somebody gave Lowry a film camera and said go and do all the 2nd unit stuff

To name but the permitted 5.
They tried to show both pictorially and socially a byegone world.

And I'll add in "I'm Alright Jack" too for the Union / them and us thing - both absurdly wrong and both absurdly right at the same time.

Isn't a bit of a prequel TV series rather than a film though? Sounds more like a crappy cash in like the Lock Stock TV series, remember that? (No one usually does and for good reason)

44 Inch chest is good and I think can be considered a sequel of sorts: Winstone plays a version of his Sexy Beast 'Gal' character this time as a moping cuckold. Unfortunately there is no Don Logan but John Hurt's twisted cantankerous old villain is a great watch; aggrieved rather than aggressive.

"Use a banana did ya" that scene is classic
 

Theatre of Blood ; Vincent Price camping it up something rotten with the ever gorgeous Dianna Rigg as his daughter. A very good cast : Dianna Dors, Jack Hawkins, Joan Hickson, Arthur Lowe, Robert Morley and Eric Sykes amongst others. He murders theatre critics by using deaths occurring in Shakespearean plays, very gruesome.

The Happiest Days of our Lives, featuring three of my favourite character actors - Margaret Rutherford, Joyce Grenfell and Alistair Sim.
