Cult film recommendation required....

Long story why I'm after this, but sure you'll all appreciate a change from my questions about proeprty renovation ;-)

I'm after a film set around the lives of either students or young professionals (perhaps house sharers in London or similar). must be set in the UK though!

Ideas please :-)

Withnail

[TallPaul]

Shallow Grave
Set in Scotland though...

[FasterFreddy]

Withnail and I?

[TheEnd]

Withnail and him?
Spaced? (although a series, and not that relevant to normal life)

[cw42]

Closer? Based in London, young pros.

[Citman]

I quite like This Year's Love - not exactly professionals or students, but follows the lives of a pretty realistic mix of folks and their intertwining lives in London.

[Famous Graham]

Also a series, rather than a film - This Life

Try Spaced as well, though that may be a stretch to far with regards to realism or viability.

[PTE993]

Naked (1993) Dir Mike Leigh with David Thewliss. Very British. Covers all of your requirements and some...

[BJG1]

The History Boys?

Am I the only person who did not get this film? I brought after seeing it labelled as "one of the greatest british films ever" and thought it was dire....

Perfect film, Rik and Ade, Peter Cook and that little Hijet van. Nicholas Parsons - still amazes me today he did the film, worlds best effort at not taking yourself seriously... You can get the Dangerous Brothers sketches on DVD too now.... Pure class

Withnail not far behind "Theres nothing out there apart from a bl**dy hurricane..."

No, I recommended it to my friend who said he found it boring. Nevertheless it's still my favourite film which I could watch back to back and quote all day.
