Rank the British films that genuinely capture life in modern Britain β which one nails it best?
Some films hold up a mirror to Britain in ways the news never quite manages. Rank these five by which one actually gets what it's like to live here.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
This Is England
Thatcher-era Midlands, skinhead subculture and boyhood loss. Raw, uncomfortable and painfully honest about class and identity.
B
Trainspotting
Edinburgh, heroin and 'choose life' cynicism. Still the sharpest gut-punch about opting out of the British dream.
C
Pride
Miners and LGBT activists unite in 1984. A stirring reminder that solidarity across divides is very British indeed.
D
Fish Tank
An Essex council estate, a teenage girl and no easy way out. Bleak, tender and utterly unflinching.
E
I, Daniel Blake
A Geordie joiner versus the DWP. Furious, humane and depressingly relevant to anyone who's dealt with the system.
