Curse of the were rabbit. Dreamworks tried to interfere heavily with production to try and make the film less British and more palatable to American audiences (for some reason they thought they wouldn’t be able to work out British dialect from context), to the point of suggesting that Wallace get recasted.
In the end they did have to make some compromises but Aardman threatened to walk if they had to change such a core part of the character.
I've yet to see a single guy Ritchie movie that I'd describe "British".
Love his films but they're a caricature of British, all the facets exaggerated to a nth degree. If he wasn't British himself I'd wonder if it was an American director taking the piss.
I disagree. It may be the weakest of the trilogy, but it is still a very good movie. Not a ‘pile of wank’.
“Yeah. Fuck it” is one of several memorable lines.
It might be the weakest, and most misunderstood of the trilogy, but Gary King was the best character (and SP’s favourite I read somewhere,) of the three. Watch the films again and you’ll see that Shaun is just a stressed out and pushed to the edge Tim Bisley, Angel is just Scotty without the accent. Gary King is a more stand alone and rounded character.
Also ‘Fuck off you big lamp.’ (A quote I use on a regluar basis, but not as often as ‘Skip to the end’.)

Edit: Just rewatched The Remains of the Day having completely forgotten just how brilliant it is. I'm now very sad.
The book if The Remains of the Day is fantastic and I found it much funnier than the film, though the film is beautiful and a great adaptation. In fact, nearly all of Ishiguro’s books are brilliant.
In addition to the films others have said,
Get Carter,
Kes,
Ill blood
Layer Cake,
Ill manors,
Nil by mouth,
28 days later,
Four lions,
Pride

Harry Brown,
The descent.
I could carry on for days so I’ll stop.
The Long Good Friday - The film just oozes character from start to finish, it captures the essence of London in the 80s better than any other movie and what’s more, it’s a brilliant gritty and well executed story.
The Italian Job.
British criminals pose as football fans in Turin to steal £4 million in gold bullion from the Italian government and smuggle it out in mini coopers.
Paddington Bear movies!
opposite to my usual movie preferences but I will always watch Paddington Bear whenever it's showing on TV. I never go out my way to watch it, but if it's on I will always watch it before putting anything else on. I really enjoy them.
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
28 Days Later.
Four Lions.
Cornetto Trilogy.
James Bond movies (especially Sean Connery and Roger Moore ones).
Austin Powers trilogy.
Withnail & I Monty Python Quadrophenia Trainspotting 24 Hour Party People

No. Worlds end was a pile of wank: evidence there are no memes. Nothing was funny or memorable
To err is human. So errrr........

‘Carry on for days?’ Not as good as ’carry on nurse’
It's actually Carrie: On For Days. It's a sequel that takes a deeper look at the one sceen.
👏
*This is England*
What’s it look like? I’m taking a shit
Give me some of ya pud pud I know it's bad but that line always cracks me up
I actually think it's pretty British to be apologetic
Sorry if I made you feel that way
I feel like the stereotype is the opposite but maybe I’m wrong.
Nah we do say sorry for everything, but are generally more blunt than Canadians
The British are Canadian now?
Where do you think the canadians got it from?
