    I have a few english movies and not being an english movie fan has left me confused. This is what I have:

    I Want Candy
    citizen kane
    Diary Of The Dead
    Death At A Funeral
    Cloverfield
    Cleaner
    Charlie Wilson's War
    A Requeim for a Dream
    Chaos

    Which one should I watch?

    Citizen Kane is the best film there, without question, but the acting style may be difficult for a modern audience. If you like that film then I would suggest 'Casablanca' as a follow up (I know it's not on your list). If you don't watch Casablanca you will certainly regret it, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.

      Not Cloverfield. It's rubbish. Citizen Kane, A Requiem for a Dream and Charlie Wilson's War - all excellent choices.

      I quite liked Cloverfield. But no one else does, strange.

      My current favourite word is: Nipple!

        Hence you should add it to the list, definitely. :-D

          Personally I hate shakeycam ... I think it's a gimick and this was a whole film based around that.

            Did you thought English = England's? I was talking about language english.

            Americans don't speak English, they speak "American". And no, "American" isn't a language, but an accident :)

              The Third Man is a better film, but not on his list!

                Yes. But I dont trust these sites. I have read about good movies rated down.

                        EVERY Bollywood story is this... Attractive Girl meets Handsome Boy, Dance/Sing. Girls Father Forbids Girl from Seeing boy, Dance/Sing. Boy does something good in the Father's eyes,(saves his life/business), Dance/Sing. Boy Marries Girl, Big Dance/Sing. Is that right?

                          Citizen Kane, Hot Fuzz and A Fish Called Wanda. That should give you a mix. Two of them are British as well. Ellaine :rose:

                                    I have a few english movies and not being an english movie fan has left me confused. This is what I have:

                                      It's English Language, but not an English Film.

                                        Probably my favourite film ever. Or tying with Get Carter (original of course) Or Zulu All 3 contain Michael Caine.....luvvable cockernee sparrer

                                          As long as you are talking about the original I heartily agree (as in my reply to fluffy tigress earlier in thread)
