Georgy Girl, Room at the Top, and Love on the Dole

Georgy Girl, To Sir With Love, Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral although in the last one you never really learn what the cast of characters do for a living.

Riff-Raff is the first film that comes to my mind. I’ve not seen it since it was in American theaters in the early ’90s and I often remind myself that I’d like to see it again.

My favorites are “Saturday Night and Sunday Morning”, “It Always Rains on Sunday”, and “The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner”.
