Hey there,



I'm a newbie to this forum, but was hoping some of you more seasoned vets might be able to help me out with something. I love movies like Up The Junction, cinema which depicts the Working Class Culture of yore with a real rose tinted lens.



Would any one happen to know of any movies I should see that fit this bill?



Any help would be much appreciated.



Thanks again!

More "neo-realist" than many of the films mentioned is "Bronco Bullfrog" 1970 , not everyones cup of tea but it certainly captures a time and place.

[Santonix]

Charlie Bubbles.

[batman]

The 'Joe Lampton Trilogy' (Room at the Top/Life at the Top/Man at the Top)



Look Back in Anger

The Caretaker

Loved Bronco Bullfrog. The BFT mediatechque is a great source for these sorts of things.



But thanks so much for all your help and if anyone else has anymore (particularly any set in the East End) I'd be so so greatful.

Hello Bosie,



Here's one with a rose tinted view of working class culture in an England of yesteryear: THIS HAPPY BREED (1944) dir. by David Lean.

I wouldn't say This Happy Breed was about the working class - the Gibbons live in suburbia and have a servant. For genuine working class kulchur of the 1940s go for Passport to Pimlico, or, if that's a little too cosy, , It Always Rains on Sunday

You're right, Captain. I forgot about the servant. I was focused on finding a film for Bosie that had a rose-tinted view as opposed to some of the films suggested which give a harder, b/w realist view.
