"Shaun of the Dead
Paddington 2
Children of Men
Hot Fuzz
Does Labyrinth count?
Snatch
What about Paddington 1?
Paddington 2 was much better than the first one "
Far better. It’s a perfect little film. It held a 100 % rating for an extended time on rotten tomatoes. |

I'm way too late into this one and all my faves are already listed. But to back them up I gotta shout for 'Twin Town'🏴, 'Withnail & I' and 'Life of Brian'
Only one I can think of not listed (unless I missed it), 'Young Offenders'
