So I was thinking of uploading a few movies to my laptop for the plane ride over the Atlantic. I was trying to think of films that would get me excited about the trip, and I thought it would be great to watch some classic films on London (or Dublin). Much like the Roman Holiday of Rome or the Amelie of Paris. But I can't think of anything for London.
My favorite British movies (Love, Actually; About a Boy) are not necessarily scenic of London. They're just scenic of Hugh Grant.
So I'm asking for suggestions. No period pieces, please. And no Harry Potter. OK, go!

Ok so I know it's not English or Irish but it's European and France is really, really close to the little island ;): 'Amelie'. Totally a classic.
There's also 'Sliding Doors' which I love and 'Snatch' which is fabulous but can be hard to understand at times because of the heavy dialects. Ditto for 'Trainspotting.'
I might also suggest perusing this list for some inspiration. There are some good'ns on there ;).
European Vacation.
"Big Ben. Parliament."
Well, it's not really about London but they are British: "This is Spinal Tap."
"There's a fine line between stupid and clever."
Hey Leslie!!
Well, I saw Billy Elliot on stage in London in October. The movie was better, but the stage production was still fun. Oh, saw MacBeth with Patrick Stewart there and Rent!! Really fun.
Hope you're having a blast!
