British Gems Appreciation inconnu 06/24/16 (Fri) 05:14:44 No.7501

Now that Britannia has finally shown some backbone, how about suggestions of lesser known UK gems to remind everyone that British culture has been pretty damn cool

maybe this isn't "lesser known" but I had a lot of fun watching it

it's probably better than My Fair Lady (based on the same story)

I haven't watched a lot of UK films from the 1930s so I'd like other recommendations

Nice list. I didn't know about that silent film.

Passport to Pimlico reminded me of Genevieve, made by the same director but outside of Ealing

It's a charming technicolor comedy about racing antique cars

>-All 'Ealing Comedies' - especially Passport to Pimlico

Which other Ealing pictures do you like? Passport to Pimlico was quite charming. The style of comedy was different than I expected. Instead of getting laughs from sight gags or endless punchlines, the comedy came from characters who were suddenly in a funny situation.

Also the line about "We've always been English..." was fantastic.
