UK: Green Street - That film with Elijah Wood about football hooliganism in London

This Is England - A film about the skinhead culture of the mid-80s in the Midlands

Trainspotting

The Inbetweeners Movie I would recommend the TV show(orignial version) more but the movie is still pretty good

Tyrannosaur

There are loads more but these have been my favourites recently.

Oh, The Inbetweeners is such a good TV show. The movie is okay too. There's another coming out next year, I hear.

On a side note, the scene in This is England with the Indian shopkeeper and Combo is really very good.

It's definitely one of my favourite TV shows. I live where it was filmed(parts were filmed down my road) and being in sixth form at the time made it really relatable

It captures the insecurities one feels at that age so well. Being an awkward teenager is universal, as is humour, and that show is the perfect mix. But, yeah, growing up where they shot that, I envy you.

Looking through the wiki page, it seems that one of the writers was also involved with Peep Show, wow.

Trainspotting is superb.

Also, Nuts in May, which I suppose is classed as a a 'TV movie', but is really entertaining.
