Have the Brits produced any Movies or TV shows that are worth watching?
Any time I've tried to watch something made there it's all been low budget and cringe worthy and so I can't get through it.

Frick off, we're full.
Greatest film ever made.
The Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy miniseries with Alec Guinness from 1979 is kino, as is the second part Smiley's People.
Also The 39 Steps is best Hitchwiener film.
It's close but Maltese Falcon is still #1
>Have the Brits produced any Movies or TV shows that are worth watching?
literally hundreds of things
Name one
I bet it's either some terminally unfunny sitcom or something with a budget of $100 that's basically unwatchable.
Children of Men
Directed and Written (the screenplay at least) by a Mexican and produced by an American company.
Just because it's set in the UK doesn't make it British.
Try again.
it's an america-british coproduction, as if that mattered
based on uk book, with uk cast, set in the uk
By your logic Conan the Barbarian is a italian movie
>directed by american
>written by american
>hurr durr you must think it's Italian
try again angloid
ok so the standard is the writer and director determine the nationalityof the movie, then just Ridley Scott, Terry Gilliam, Chris Nolan, Hitchwiener, Anderson, Boyle, etc etc nearly an endless list
OK so Batman Begins, TDK and TDKR are all British movies then.
Paddington 2
Fawlty Towers is the best piece of comedy in history. Beats all your cheesy yankey shite. Your version of the office is utter garbage, completely lost the sense of what the British version was. British TV is infinitely better than US shit. Movies is another story although you can’t deny the massive British influence in big budget movies - Charlie Chaplin, Anthony Hopkins, Gary Oldman, Alfred Hitchwiener, Tim Roth, Christian Bale, Christopher Nolan. The list goes on.
>Fawlty Towers is the best piece of comedy in history.
Goon show is peak brit comedy
No, Spike Milligan's Q is
What time is it Eccles?
Britain owes India 45 trillion dollars in reparations.
SIRS
India owes Britain for pulling their backwards arses into the 19th century
DO NOT REDEEM
India would be still stuck in medieval times if it was colonised by the french
>Britain owes India 45 trillion dollars in reparations.
India's economy was crippled for the last 70 years because of systemic economic repression from its own government.
The sun never sets on Indias cope
Br*toid shamelessly stealing yet another thing from others. That saying will always belong to the Spanish Empire.
And they ain't ever gonna get it LMAO!
I think you mean 45 zillion
And at least 30 million lives.
its 45 sirilion dollars actually, get your facts straight mate.
>dollars
India was a shithole with bountiful history when the brits arrived. Things got better under the Raj. Then they left and pajeets instantly started shitting in the streets again. Britain owes them nothing as their downfall was their own doing.
Start wiping you ass first.
Britain will pay if India can go five minutes without single case of open defacation
Seething Britishers ITT
real indian would've measured in crore
Shut the frick up.
I want 45 Trillion for the psychological damage caused by having to deal with Indians on a daily basis
>please do the needful (unironically)
>please advise to this
>please action to this
>PLEASE REDEEM SIRS PLEASE DO THE BLOODY NEEDFUL
Indians really are lesser people than whites though, in all honesty. You just have to spend some time around them to see this.

>Production companies are British
>Nominated for and won BAFTAS
>The guy was born and brought up in London, holds Irish citizenship on account of his parents but never lived there
dumbfrick
Written by directed by and starring Irish people
Ireland is one of the British Isles, friend.
As someone from the Atlantic Isles myself, I have to say I agree. There are a few gems: The Thick of It, I Claudius, Shallow Grave, Sexy Beast In Bruges - those some that spring to mind. But nothing recently, nothing at all.
Vicar of Dibley is top comfy comedy.
And the women are actually funny.
No no no no no no no no BASED
Classic Doctor Who up to 1989.
Blake's 7.
In The Loop (2009)

>Black Narcissus
was pretty disappointing. Like it was halfway, didn't go full surrealist horror, but wasn't a proper drama either.
It's dumb, I'm European, and I'm watching American telly, because it's put in front of me face, when Britain is culturally closer.
Off the top of my head:
Skins
This Is England 86/ 88/ 90/ movie
The Firm/ other Nick Love
The Bodyguard
Line of Duty (Thank you, anon, for the rec!)
Chernobyl
Cracker is kino
Utopia
Such kino. And of course the Americans did a shitty remake.
It was ok, but it could never live up to the UK show
that boats tv series with cumberbatch
Pretty much all of the great movies up until the 80's, still churning out good shit ever since then. America and Britain have always been side by side in movie production, old Hollywood was innately British.
Who said you could post a picture with me in it? Delete this
I’m currently watching the original TV series of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, it’s pretty great
you shouldn't be allowed to post here, mutt.
Line of Duty
That series was fricking perfect.

Am I the only person old enough to remember Strutter?
Ever? Yes, some of the best television and film ever created. Especially in comedy. Recently? No, terrible, restrictive and full of political correct pandering to nobody.
Detectorists is Kino
The Singing Detective
The Prisoner
Edge of Darkness

It's on Cinemaphile dot org slash teevee and we're in the car, Hyacinth!

Minding the bait thread.
Old Ealing comedies are pretty good:
passport to pimlico
the lavender hill mob
the ladykillers
Recently watched the spy who came in from the cold. Probably one of the most realistic spy thrillers ever made. Also recommend the old tinker tailer soldier spy BBC series.
The Ladykillers is absolute kino. Haven't seen the others but will give them a try
Alo' Alo'
Monty Phyton
Dr. WHO
Only fools and horses
Midsummee murders
Dog Soldiers

>it's all been low budget and cringe worthy
Except Top Gear which has movie level cinematics and sound scores
I wonder if that's the same street where they show The Meaning of Life (I do know that the background is a matte painting)
It's not, Get Carter is set in Newcastle
Yes Minister is my favourite show
How about the greatest spy franchise of all time
That's true, Harry Palmer is British
