Proof (1991)
You are who you think you are (maybe....)
This film is superb, playing on the paranoia in every one of us.
I Love it!
G.B.H. (1991)
Comical view of local government in the 1980's
GBH is an excellent view of the would-be overlords of local government in the UK, using everybody (whether within or without the overlord's grand plan) to achieve the goal of power.
The situation is viewed through the eyes of the elected local government official who is played like a puppet by the would-be power-mongers of the day (pseudo-socialists trying to hijack every situation to make the tory government of the day look ridiculous) regardless of the casualties caused by their actions.
The elected official starts out as a hard character, whose weak spots are exposed by the puppeteers through a relentless barrage of political and psychological attacks, gradually exposing the child within the hard exterior - and ultimately concluding with the deposition of said character - who departs with most of (if not all) of the audience's sympathy.
This is a riot of a screenplay, placing first our hatred, and then our sympathy with main character - often with bizarre & humorous consequences.
Eat the Rich (1987)
Oh man, This has to be seen to be (almost) believed!
An indictment on everything wrong with the thatcherite thinking of the day, this film explores the deepest recesses of the mind - probing into areas previously thought taboo by mainstream cinema.
Hilarious & sad - Ugly & Bad.
You have go to see this!
(even if just for the Motorhead soundtrack)
