Check out the "Ladykillers" and "The man in the white suit" very very 
English and made in that strange post-war period when all of Britain was 
going through incredible social upheval."Kind hearts and coronets" has an 
incredible performance by Alec Guinesses as a social climber killing his 
way through members of his own family to become the Duke of Chalfont. 
Guiness plays something like 10 roles as various members of the family.
 For a lighter touch try Whiskey Galore,(based on a real story) or the 
Titfield thunderbolt.
