Pride and Prejudice (2005)

The Man Who Knew Too Little

Starring Bill Murray

Entry to follow later, this is a placeholder so that I can keep track of movies I run across or own which are set in London or are somehow associated with the city.

Shakespeare in Love

with Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseph Fiennes, and Geoffrey Rush. London in Elizabethan times. Detailed entry to follow.

Sliding Doors

Another movie starring Gwyneth Paltrow. And set in London.

Notting Hill

The first in my collection of London-based movies. This one has Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts and is set in Notting Hill, which is the neighborhood I lived in when I studied in London.

Pride and Prejudice (BBC 1996 version)

I can't really add to what some people have already written. For now, for me, on this site, it's just on my list of London films.

Bend it Like Beckham

Vivid in my mind, beyond the story itself, are the Hounslow tube stop and the scene on Carnaby Street in Central London.

84 Charing Cross Road

I just saw this for the first time a week ago. Beyond some annoying cinematic effects (like having your characters speak at the camera), I'm surprised I haven't seen this before. While half of it is set in New York, it creates a good atmosphere of London in several of the scenes that are in Anthony Hopkins' characters part of the story.

The World is Not Enough

Another entry on my list of movies that are set in London. I was just reminded about the scenes shot up and down the Thames.
