The Reckoning (1969) has a great pub brawl in it, with the excellent Joe Gladwin
(Wally Batty in Last of the Summer Wine and the voice on the 70's Hovis Adverts)
as the drunk that starts it all off.

The pub in The Titfield Thunderbolt looks like it might be a lot of fun but you'd need to live within walking distance on account of the public transport being so rubbish. If ever a village needed a bus service...

Isn't the pub in Victim also real (the Salisbury in St Martin's Lane I believe)? Not a very relaxing place, what with all the blackmailers and vice squad hanging around.

Hi Cornelius, Withnail and I... has a couple of great pub scenes, one in London and one in Cumbria. I love the film but a few people on this site find it a real turn off. If you wanted a TV series pub scene then I'd mention the last episode of Boys From The Blackstuff which has an amazing scene of scousers going barmy in a giant lunchtime session. "Shake hands".

Also, Hitchcock's Frenzy has plenty of pub scenes...definitely at the start. Useful to you maybe as there is a pre-opening time sequence.

Yeah, that's me. Billy Balthorpe, the man with no name.

Sitting in the snug drinking cider with Jennifer Jones in Gone to Earth.

The arguments between David Farrah and Sid James in Small Back Room.

The punch ups from The Gift Horse, with Lord Dickie, M, and the Rumpo Kid.

The Cairo bar with Dirk Bogarde in They Who Dare.

The Alexandria lager drinking scene from Ice Cold in Alex.

Those two women having a cat fight in Get Carter, were in real life, both rival singers on the working men's social club circuit, in the north of England. I once saw the dark haired lady (the pub singer) being interviewed on tv, talking about this film, and she said both of them were not really friendly towards each other, off the set ... so maybe all that hair-pulling and tumbling, wasn't just for the sake of the cameras.

On the subject of bar room brawls, what about the wild west style one, that was featured in Alfie (1966)?

Abel Abel,
You are quite right here.
Read Denea Wilde's interview about the Get Carter shoot here.

Get Carter 1971-Extras section.

How about the surreal scene in the pub in Carol Reed's celebrated " Odd Man Out" (1946)?

I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!

Evocative pub scene, for me anyway, with the bonus of one of our great bands in its original form.

Yep, the Salisbury hasn't changed a bit - although the clientele is more touristy these days.
