Broken Britain Movies

[trentlad]

Broken Britain Movies (released after 2004)
DEFINITION = movies depicting widespread state of social decay in the United Kingdom circa 2007, i.e. chavs, modern day youth crime, grimey streets of London.
NOT = Gangster flicks or anything post-apocalyptic.

I can't get enough of them, it's one of those rare subjects where I'm entertained even by what some consider a poor quality movie. Trying to put together a decent list of any related films from 2004 onward (even if you/others consider it a poor film).

Example:
Ill Manors
Adulthood
Kidulthood
Harry Brown
Eden Lake
Offender
Shifty

 

[Begbie]

This is England?

There was a movie, right?

 

[CapitalOne]

Carry on Doctor

 

[trentlad]

Dead Mans Shoes
Tyrannosaur
My Brother The Devil

 

[trentlad]

Attack The Block
Shank
Sket
Top Boy (TV)

 

[Woden]

Trainspotting?

 

[trentlad]

No, not really and This Is England isn't related either.

I'm talking about 'Broken Britain':
"a populist term which has been used to describe a perceived widespread state of social decay in the United Kingdom circa 2007, i.e. chavs, modern day youth crime, grimey streets of London.."

 

[something daft already!!]

The Dam Busters
School for Scoundrels
Carry on Sargent
Mary Poppins.

 

[Malevolence]

The Veteran.

 

[trentlad]

I hadn't heard of The Veteran and that's exactly the type of film I'm talking about. Thank you!!

May I Kill U? (2012)
F (2010) Think it's also known as The Expelled.
Comedown (2012)
1 Day.

Brotherhood is out soon to finish off the Kid/Adulthood trilogy.

Noel Clarke is really under appreciated IMO.

 

[trentlad]

NO WAY!! That's seriously fantastic news.

It's amazing how many people just see Noel Clarke as the bumbling boyfriend from Dr Who. He's seriously talented.

Since you didn't consider trainspotting, I'm not sure my indie film will be much different as it's drug related circa 2004.
It's a film about to heroin addicts in dublin, and i guess your more looking for violence and gangs etc, but none the less I remember it being worth a watch.
It's called ADAM & PAUL

Wild Bill
Green Street

though not after 2004 scum is highly recommended

Wild Bill

I luruuurved Wild Bill. Charlie Creed Miles is awesome and massively underrated. The end brought me close to tears. Also, it's very much a kind of western genre wise, set in modern Britain.

 

[trentlad]

Love the flick but I'm thinking more like...
