I haven't seen a huge amount of classic British films, but the ones I have seen I really loved! I want to watch more!

I've mainly watched random obscure ones from a particular series of DVD release, plus a few others, so I'm not sure I'm a good guide, but The 39 Steps (1936) is great fun, and Laburnum Grove is awesome as well, and as I said, I love Bank Holiday too. But I do need to try some more of the better known ones! XD

I also watched The Assassination Bureau a couple of years ago, which was a late 1960s film that has Diana Rigg and Oliver Reed running about Edwardian Europe together (she hires him to assassinate the assassins of his own Assassination Bureau! What could possibly go wrong?) and it is a madcap delight if it ever falls into your hands. And I had never heard of it before I spotted it on backwater freeview channel. I had to find this out myself!!

I mean, it ends in Death, so possibly not, but tbf, it is better than the previous one where ML and JM had an affair and then he wound up beating her to death with the poker.

OH NO!


Death On The Highway for your wicked crimes (which were many, lol) is definitely preferable! XD
