Threads was class, but When The Wind Blows is much more impactful.

Great film but fucking horrifying. It genuinely affected my sleep for days after watching it.

Trumpsarightbollock@reddit

I lived in Sheffield when this came out.Everywhere in the film was so familiar it was awful to watch and affected sleep and eating for weeks, it's all anyone could talk about at work.

[-]

ZeroFrogsHere@reddit

I got showed this in GCSE media studies because I'm from south Yorkshire and our teacher wanted to show us a local film.

That was over a decade ago and to this day I get full body shivers whenever I think about Threads, I've never seen a film since that has come close to how awful that film made me feel. It's just so unbelievably bleak.

Isn’t that astonishingly famous though? If it’s not, it’s just because of its age.

Certainly I’d be surprised at anybody in Newcastle not recognising its main theme tune!

[-]

I doubt many people younger than 40 has seen it though. The theme is very recognisable in Newcastle but they’ll all just know it as the song that they play at St James’

Threads is horrifying, but When the Wind Blows is like being punched in the stomach. Everyone sees their dear old grandparents. A hard watch/read, but worth it.

The Lair of the White Worm.

Absolutely bonkers horror b-movie starring Amanda Donohoe, Peter Capaldi and pre-4 Weddings Hugh Grant.

I remember seeing it late one Saturday night on Channel 4 and thinking ‘wtf is this!? and being immediately engrossed in the madness.

I think the best way of describing it is as a very pervy Hammer Horror homage.

No 😂

Mid 40’s

[-]

Fluffy_Ad2274@reddit

Ah, well take it as a compliment about how youthful you look in your avatar 🤣

It was pretty heavily written about in the papers when it came out. I didn't see it until some years later, but because it was quite subversive to create a comedy about extremism, it felt like you couldn't get away from it in the news. But apparently, I'm very much over-rembering the publicity it got!

CarrotRunning@reddit

Think you might have missed the nuance of the humor. A satirical look at the panic around home grown terrorism that had been gaining steam since the war on terror. This was the exact kind of thing we did in comic strips and songs to lampoon Hitler and the Nazis. Making terrorist last of the summer wine was both brave, clever and funny.

[-]

Ceiling-Crawler@reddit

Because he was smart enough to realise the film is mocking islamophobes, not Muslims.

[-]

chuckles5454@reddit

LOL. Yes, that's what it was mocking.

[-]

blueroses8000@reddit

Never met a Muslim who doesn’t love it. I think we’re the films biggest fans and OG fans from the start when not many others knew of it, as it’s even funnier to us because a lot of the references are accurate and there’s little things you only know/get if you’re Muslim.

It’s hilarious to everyone though of course, just that there’s a lot of things in there that are really well observed as the makers went to properly spend time and research in relevant areas.

[-]

Illustrious_Study_30@reddit

Yes exactly.

[-]

Christian-Metal@reddit

That's not a good thing.

[-]

Illustrious_Study_30@reddit

Dumb people leading the charge to join Isis? I found that enormously reassuring. The Muslim community agreeing they are dumb? Also reassuring. It's a very good thing.

It’s accurate in references, behaviour, mannerisms, language etc, not the subject of a group of terrorists.

[-]

FeedFrequent1334@reddit

The fact it's seen as "accurate" and that this is known in the wider community? It's very chilling

Accurate in the sense that it portrays a ragtag group of incredibly dimwitted wannabe extremists, who are an incredibly small minority of even their own local religious communities and not representative of the overwhelming majority of the UK Muslim population, yes.

Accurate. Not chilling at all.

Tragic, mate. Tragic. I'm 52 and was taken to see it by my parents when it came out in '87 at a little independent cinema in Bradford, now absorbed into the National Photography and Film Museum- almost certainly gets bigger audiences now but has lost the atmosphere. My wife, 48, saw it long before we met and quotes it frequently, and I don't think a single one of my friends at any stage of my life hasn't seen it. However, my younger work colleagues, none of whom are over 40, look at me quizzically on occasions when cake is served .....

Considering the cast, it is strange how few people have heard of it, let alone seen it. I remember several times doing “Stagger, stagger. Crawl, crawl.” after a night on the piss, and nobody getting the reference. It has some great quotable lines, but nobody recognises the quotes.

More people seem to know Erik the Viking than know Yellowbeard.

An absolutely incredible cast, probably the most stacked cast of comedians ever. It is terrible though, but for a few great gags:

Passport to Pimlico - a lot of people know of the Ealing Comedies but few actually watch them, and it's one of the less well-known titles, but still worth a watch, 75 years on.

The Mick Travis trilogy: if...., O Lucky Man!, Britannia Hospital. The first is watched more than the other two; the third is my favourite. (If you know Little Britain by Dreadzone, you've heard a clip from if....)

[-]

ash894@reddit

Enduring Love. I caught this film late one night and stayed up to watch it. I dont know if it was because I was really tired when I watched it but it made me so uncomfortable and I’ve never been able to watch it again. Certainly never been in a hot air balloon that’s for sure.

[-]

kilgore_trout1@reddit

Two come to mind for me and weirdly both about the army, although each of them very different films...

71 - A British soldier ends up on his own in a very nationalist part of Belfast, incredibly tense and stressful to watch but a really interesting window into some of the darkest parts of modern British and Irish history.

Kajaki - a band of British soldiers accidently finds itself in a minefield in Afghanisaton. Based on a true story and although most of the action takes place pretty much in just one place and unbelievably tense watch.

Both were mega stressful to watch but really excellently done, I'd 100% recommend both films.

[-]

Toffeemanstan@reddit

Both quality films that will test.your nerves.

71 was a good movie

I hesitated writing that. Very well known film where I'm from but I'm a brass bander who lives in Barnsley - so very much who the film was made for! So wasn't sure how well known it was outside that demographic.

Toffeemanstan@reddit

Was filmed up the road from me. Tried showing it to a few English speaking Mexicans when I worked over there and they couldnt understand a word they were saying.

[-]

nffc_simon@reddit

We had it on video and absolutely loved it (still do).

My brother and I watched it loads when we were teens. I think I was 13 or 14 when it came out. Initially loved it as a bloody good comedy, but as I matured a bit it taught me a lot about the pit communities and the politics of the time. I grew up in the rural East Midlands where farming was the game, so knew little about it at the time. Real eye opener.

I recently showed it to my son. He’s now a fan too.

[-]

Eyupmeduck1989@reddit

Paperhouse (1988)

Great little movie from the late 80s. Really unique and poignant.

Paperhouse is a 1988 British dark fantasy film directed by Bernard Rose. It was based on the 1958 novel Marianne Dreams by Catherine Storr. The film stars Ben Cross, Glenne Headly and Gemma Jones.

[-]

CranberryWizard@reddit

Oh the film definately tries to drive that, but i feel it doesnt achiece that goal. The mood seems to shift between this gang are hard guys to be feared, to jokes, and cant pick a lane. But all sides come off as a little ..m pathetic imho

It doesnt help i come from a village just like that and ran away as soon as i could. My personal experiences may make me biased here

Found it deeply unsettling in ways few movies have managed to match.

[-]

mdmnl@reddit

It's a "me problem", never a comment on the films themselves, but I struggle with suspension of disbelief when it's a big movie with scenes in the U.K. I can believe Jake Gyllenhaal can parachute into a stealth bomber over Bora Bora and all that shit, but when Hugh Jackman is pursued by assassins past a Superdrug it drags me out of it. I know that's pure tosh.

Kill List did the opposite - the recognisable lock-ups, houses and chain hotels and everything made it so much more insidious and unsettling.

[-]

Sad-Wrap6555@reddit

some movies can pull it off if the editing is up to snuff

I watched car chase scene in an iranian movie called Tehran and only got this slight hunch it was at least partly filmed in uk - took second viewing of the scene before penny dropped it was central glasgow ...where i spend most of each day working next to some of the actual streets thats in the chase

[-]

mdmnl@reddit

I don't even mind the "Glasgow for Gotham/NY/Philly" trend, especially since half the movies I thought were NY were probably Vancouver anyway. But when they expect me to believe an international cabal of spies is operating within spitting distance of Greggs, it seems safer somehow.

[-]

Sad-Wrap6555@reddit

well we did have our own secret chinese police station in the Loon Fung in sauchiehall street, so maybe theres something near that greggs after all 😁

Sad-Wrap6555@reddit

each to his own - snails were never my thing 😁

[-]

FlibV1@reddit

Especially when they've glued a Super drug sign over an Eastern European shop front and pretended it's in Britain.

The part in Kill List where they're at the dinner table and it's all a bit awkward and then the lady gets up to go to the loo (no spoilers) freeeeeaaaaked me the fuck out and I can't entirely place why.

Maybe it's the awkward relatable normality suddenly being subverted, it really got to me.

This is the one. Most people know Ben Wheatley or one of his films at least. Most people know of folk horror, and Witchfinder General and Reece Shearsmith and his love of folk horror. Just whack them all together with a heroic dose of shrooms and a small budget and you get a modern classic.

It may be more well known than you think, or maybe we were just lucky to randomly stumble upon it? (on video!)

The Duelists. Ridley Scott's first ever film, and still one of his absolute best. I can't recommend it highly enough.

The Company of Wolves. Quirky fairytale werewolf movie, that spins various takes on the Little Red Riding Hood tales.

The Duelists is wonderful. Somewhat unhinged characters, but so well done.

Priest - a 1994 film starring Linus Roache, of Law & Order and My Dad's Ken Barlow fame, and Robert Carlyle. Made by the Cracker pairing of Antonia Bird and Jimmy McGovern. It's about a young Catholic priest who starts falling for another man and the subsequent trauma/crisis of faith that you'd expect. Sounds like a bit of a cliche now, but it wasn't at the time and it was well worth watching.

I saw it on VHS when it was new out, but I don't think it ever got a DVD release, and I haven't seen it referred to since the Nineties. Tom Wilkinson was in it too.

[-]

LlamaDrama007@reddit

I mean, Bob doesnt get his comeuppance which is where it really falls down. The writer of the play it's based on was none too happy they changed the ending which made it less a darker more complex ending and more just a kind of middle aged fantasy fulfilment.

Love this film. The only other people I know who’ve seen it are my Dad and his wife, because I watched it with them (made them watch it after I’d already seen it). Such a good cast.

There was a film called "Blackballs". It has Johnny Vegas, Bernard Cribbins. I was so sure it had Bill Nighy in too, but it's not showing on IMDb.

It was in similar vein to Happy Gilmore, in that a young guy takes up bowls and "does it his own way", making all the old dudes angry.

I loved that film, but it disappeared off the face if the earth and nobody has ever heard of it. I can't find it anywhere, and it's kind of hard to Google Black Balls.

My Boy Jack

David Haig, Daniel Radcliffe, Kim Cattrall and Carey Mulligan, in an excellent, and also gut-wrenching real life story of the Kipling family during WWI.

The shift in Rudyard's opinion on war changes from patriotic optimism, all the way through to extreme guilt. It's pretty emotional to watch. Haig and Radcliffe in particular are superb.

Tyrannosaur. Directed by Paddy Considine and starring Olivia Colman. Olivia's performance is incredible and leaves you devastated, and this was ages before she won the oscar

[-]

jbirrane1988@reddit

Absolutely incredible film that I have no interest in ever watching again.

Journeyman is also great and incredibly sad but not as bleak as Tyrannosaur.

DoctorWhofan789eywim@reddit

If we're talking about Peter Mullan films - and more people should, he's one of the best actors around - he's also a brilliant writer/director himself. The Magdalene Sisters is one of the most devastating filns you'll ever see, while Neds is a terrific coming of age film as seen through a brutal Scottish lens.

Meantime (1983) Mike Leigh directs Pam Ferris, Phil Daniels, Gary Oldman, Alfred Molina, Marion Bailey, and Tim Roth.

Michael Coveney wrote: "the sapping, debilitating and demeaning state of unemployment, the futile sense of waste, has not been more poignantly, or poetically, expressed in any other film of the period."

Ah yes. I often find Mike Leigh films to be of superb, grotty, humorous, yet very realistic and painfully relatable.
