A brilliant film made in Wales - I recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it - it's fab and Stacey from Gavin and Stacey is in it - a feel good factor - comedy and sadness, but a happy ending - that film is called "Very Annie Mary" Lots of big stars in it, Ioan Griffith, Ruth Madoc, Huw Griffith, Jonathon Pryce

Other British films - The Full Monty
the ballet one with Jamie Bell and Julie Walters - can't remember the name!!!
All the Ealing Comedies
School for Scoundrels
David Copperfield
The Lavender Hill Mob
Kind Hearts and Coronets
A Passage to India
Northwest Frontier with Kenneth More
Lawrence of Arabia
655 Squadron
Where Eagles Dare
The Man who never was
oh I could go on and on, but you'll be glad to hear that I wont!!!

Please do look at Very Annie Mary - I guarantee you will not be disappointed

it takes me back to when i was young,also the teachers are just like the ones i had.
my mum would call it an earthy film,an absolute classic.
