View submission: What’s your favourite old British film?

I quite enjoy Brief Encounter. But this thread reminds me I need to watch Ice Cold in Alex, so I have it on now

For me it's either the third man or Brief Encounter, BE is just tragic and taboo for the time.

I adore Brief Encounter and watched it recently, but one of my favourite things about it is this behind the scenes story from a David Lean biography about Trevor Howard resolutely Not Getting It and asking “Why doesn’t he fuck her?” https://www.reddit.com/r/criterion/s/7hBw6Zw3XA
