I’m just a cinephile, standing in front of a philistine, asking him for some respect.

Femme. On Netflix now. Brilliant roadman vs drag queen London thriller. Want to see it again actually. Read the directors were very into the safdies which makes sense, but irs less literally applied than with surge, the ben whishaw film, which was actually really good but a bit too moulded around good time.

maybe not the correct thread to ask but are there any particular "London" films you all enjoy? films set in london, whether london the location is a character or not, the way new york and LA often are in American films. I'm sure I've seen more, but Naked by Mike Leigh is the only one springing to mind.

Naked is a very good shout.
There is also, more recently, "London to Brighton" which is a bit grubby and falls away as a film once they get to Brighton, but some strong bits early on.
You've also got classics like "Nil by mouth", again quite heavy but if you liked Naked... One of my fave English films.
The early hitchcock with ivor novello, blackmail (?) is also very good and very London.
As is his later one, frenzy, but again, it's quite a tough watch. Like hitch trying to be a bit Don siegel or Sam peckinpah and it's too much.
Babylon also a good shout? Different vibe entirely but all set in Brixton.
Performance is a classic London film, I always find you need to be in the right mood for it, I enjoyed it a lot last time I watched it, quite recently. Cos I'd just been reading all about the writer.
I'm sure there's loads more... That godard one with the stones?

Babylon - it's the number one film about London sound system
10 Rillington Place - a slice of Grim Brittania

It's an interesting question really... Cos you think there should be loads but there aren't...
There's all the crap "mockney" ones like lock stock, snatch, all the Danny dyer stuff.
Can't think of many good indie ones... That not very good porno Michael winterbottom one.
Intimacy, the hanif kureishi one, is OK but nowt special.
Some more Mike leigh...
Meantime, an earlier Mike leigh, is excellent, as is the one where Tim is a skin, made in Britain.
Neither is as good as scum, but I wouldn't call scum a London film necessarily. But it is kinda..
There's some good old docs, the one about the teddy boys by lindsay Anderson?

You thinking of Antonioni with The Yardbirds? That's Blow-Up. Really didn't like that film, apart from the ending. Easily the worst I've seen of his.
