Every Day's A Holiday is filmed entirely at a Butlins Holiday Camp. Is a wonderful example of how they used to be. Also featured in the Leather Boys, I seem to remember. Another plus for EDAH Michael Ripper gets a starring role and a chance to sing and dance with Ron Moody!!!!

I'm currently into films with a strong locational feel of the late 50's early 60's.
Taste of Honey ,Hell is a City ,Billy Liar,Kind of Loving etc. Are these the pinnacle or can you point me towards others that show blighty as it used to be before retail parks.
"Mary Poppins" and "Oliver!" offer pretty convincing portraits of Edwardian and Victorian London respectively.

Sorry. Only kidding :0(

Every film I could think of has already been cited by my compatriates.

The only one I could add is "The Best Pair Of Legs In The Business", which nailed the low-cost, caravan camp park holiday, spot on. Fair made me shudder.

Ah Yes, the Soviet Union. All them wheatfields and ballet in the evenings

It is cruel to discover one's mediocrity only when it is too late.

For me, it would have to be "A Canterbury Tale." While it may not precisely fit your specifics, ACT gives one the feel, the historical whispers and poetry of the British countryside and the inherent love of it quite unlike other films. I can never resist its whole dreamlike effect of by-gone days. A wonderful film created by the PnP magicians.

Best,

Barbara
Seconded.
