  3. “What [director Ken] Loach was to call a ‘go-in-and-grab-it type of filmmaking’ follows the actors – for the most part newcomers or non-professionals – as they move through real locations among real people going about their ordinary business….” 📽️ 🇬🇧 🎞️ #cinema #film #movies #CineMastodon #BritishCinema #FilmBooks #KES #KenLoach #BritishFilmmakers

  6. Act of Murder (1964), a British Edgar Wallace B-movie, involves a romantic triangle and from the start the plot twists come thick and fast. A psychological thriller with lots of paranoia and a pleasingly hard-edged nasty streak. Great stuff.

  8. We Shall See, a 1964 British Edgar Wallace thriller with some nasty emotional betrayals and twisted relationships. At the centre is a woman who thinks everyone hates her. Turns out to be more interesting and quirky than you expect. Good film.

  9. Sidney J. Furie's The Snake Woman, an ultracheap 1961 UK horror movie that is better than you might expect. A girl is believed to be an evil serpent-woman. A beautiful exotic snake-woman. Well-made atmospheric film.

  10. Wrong Number is a 1959 British heist thriller involving train and armoured car robberies and a beautiful, glamorous, sexy and dangerous woman. And of course phone calls. A neat plot, terrific acting, well executed heist sequences. Good stuff.

  12. The other great Carol Reed-Graham Greene collaboration, a year before The Third Man, was The Fallen Idol (1948). A story of growing up, of trust, of lies and of secrets. Lies and secrets can be well-intentioned but have bad results. Great film.

  17. The Spider and the Fly is a 1949 British crime thriller directed by Robert Hamer. Cop Maubert obsessively hunts master criminal Philippe and hopes to use Philippe's mistress to trap him. Quite good but with an out-of-left-field ending.

  18. Terence Fisher's Kill Me Tomorrow (1957), an OK cheap crime B-movie about a hardbitten reporter who's wrecked his career with booze and self-pity. Now he has to convince the cops that he's a murderer. Lois Maxwell plays a feisty girl reporter.

  19. The Verdict (1964) is a British Edgar Wallace B-movie. It concerns a gangster and a dubious visa which is a clue to a murder 20 years earlier. Well-made, well-acted, fast-moving, witty and clever with an intricate plot that works perfectly.

  20. Madonna of the Seven Moons is a 1945 British Gainsborough melodrama but melodrama is hardly an adequate word to describe this truly bizarre film. It's beyond mere melodrama. Over-the-top, outrageously excessive, a delight from start to finish.

  21. David Lean’s celebrated screen love story Brief Encounter (1945). Two people meet at a railway station and fall in love but they're both already married to other people. In the 1940s an insurmountable obstacle. Still packs an emotional punch.

  22. The main problem with Carol Reed's NIGHT TRAIN TO MUNICH (1940) starring Margaret Lockwood is that you're going to compare it to THE LADY VANISHES with which it has a lot in common. Not as good as Hitchcock's film but a decent train thriller.

  23. Peeping Tom (1960), the serial killer/voyeurism movie that wrecked director Michael Powell's career. A superb movie that remains disturbing.

    Like Hitchcock's Psycho (from the same year) it pushed the edge of the envelope as far as screen terror was concerned.

  24. Barnacle Bill (1957). A very late Alec Guinness Ealing comedy with a nautical flavour.

    It’s an amusing and charming feelgood movie, it has some fine visual moments. It has Alec Guinness in fine fettle as a naval officer who can't go to sea and ends up commanding a seaside pier.

    Most importantly, it's funny.

  25. Station Six-Sahara is a deliciously overheated 1963 British potboiler starring American blonde bombshell Carroll Baker.

    Five men at an isolated station in Sahara, they haven't seen a woman for months, then Carroll Baker arrives and as you can imagine things get interesting.

    It’s delightfully steamy and sleazy and overcooked. With plenty of simmering eroticism.

  26. The Man in Grey (1943), first of the great Gainsborough British melodramas.

    With James Mason as a dissipated, cruel dangerous nobleman and Margaret Lockwood doing the bad girl thing as only she could.

    Packs as much twisted romance and illicit sexuality into its running time as it can. An out-and-out melodrama and an unashamed bodice ripper but very stylish and great fun.

  27. Make Mine Mink is a charming feelgood 1960 British comedy starring the great Terry-Thomas. This time he’s the leader of a gang of very unlikely crooks. They bumble their way into all sorts of trouble.

    This movie is absolutely delightful. Sheer joy from start to finish.
