Get Carter is superb, but for top class film-making Britain has never produced anything better than The Third Man and a couple of the Powell-Pressburger movies.

Guy Ritchies 2 BIG films were fucking excellent and needed at a time when British cinema needed a kick up the arse.
Get Carter, Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa, Zulu, Kes, are well documented and rightfully so.

As for The Krays.......abysmal, but eagerly looking forward to the new version in production now with Ray Winstone playing both parts with the help of computer technology

The West London of my youth is now on dvd

Where did you hear that Ace?
He's a bit old for the role unless it's set in prison?
If it is, they've been planning this since Ron's death!

Still.....Holden MacGroyn

"Nil By Mouth." Particularly for the scene with Ray Winstone's character in the grip of madness, talking to himself...truly terrifying stuff. Britain certainly throws up the odd cinematic gem and then there's the truly awful shite too such as "The Football Factory." Third rate crap revelling in it's shiteness.

Aside from the usual suspects already mentioned, a few eerie genre gems spring to mind: Peeping Tom, Plague of Zombies, Dead of Night, Seance on a Wet Afternoon.
