There must be quite a few of these. One recent film that springs to mind is "51st State" but one of my favourites is "No Surrender".

"Oh! Pete!"

Always had a soft spot for Letter to Brezhnev

Capture King

Birth Of The Beatles is one of my favourites.

Does Random Harvest count ? If not then its Ferry Cross the Mersey. Not because its a good film as such, but the footage of Liverpool when it was a Seaport and before the mad architects took hold in the late 60's and early 70's is a precious reminder of a bygone age.

I rather like VIOLENT PLAYGROUND. Perhaps not the best film to portray the nice side of Liverpool but a jolly good film nonetheless.
A great bunch of actors - Stanley Baker, David McCallum, Anne Heywood, Peter Cushing, George A. Cooper and even an early appearance by the future comedian Freddie Starr!
Teddy Boys, Arson, kidnap and machine guns......wonderfull stuff!!!

I think Violent Playground is a really good film. A nicely different performance from Stanley Baker and an surprisingly effective one from David McCallum.

I love The Virgin Of Liverpool - the film, that is.

It's a long time since I saw The Magnet. I didn't realise it was set in
Liverpool.

"Oh! Pete!"

Liverpool is a city that I avoid like the plague. I have never been there and NOT had something awful happen to me ; the last time was in March when my car was broken into and my shotgun stolen from it's boot despite being chained in place !
Not only that, but what language do they speak up there ? it isn't English, is it ?

Oooooh, that`s brave of you Steve ! ! (I happen to agree with you, but.........I`m keeping my head down !)

I agree about No Surrender - I'm not much of a fan of Alan Bleasdale but I liked the film a lot, especially Elvis Costello as the hapless magician.

Letter To Brezhnev also springs to mind as a good Liverpudlian film.

My only proper visit to Liverpool was quite surreal - spending New Year's eve at a Catholic social club with my then girlfriend's family and meeting an endless array of cousins who all seemed to be called Gerard, then playing bingo - a new and rather scary experience for me. I also had my first experience of being offered knocked-off cold meat in a pub. A rather shifty character was doing the rounds and opening his jacket to reveal, not watches or cigarettes but packets of ham. Crayzeeeee.....

Piccadilly

I really like Backbeat, but I guess that's more to do with Hamburg than Liverpool. Willy Russell's plays are evocative of Liverpool. One Summer in particular. It was adapted as a TV series in the early eighties.
