sweet sixteen is an amazing scotish film, accents are hard work even for me but the film is worth it for the actor playing the lead, he was a promising footballer in real life as well.

In addition to many of the previously mentioned:
My Name is Joe (Another in the difficult Scottish accents category. When I first saw it on TV, it was actually subtitled

The Full Monty. The theme might be a little bit discomforting - I myself thought I won't like it much. But it turned out to be a very good piece of comedy.

Brief Encounter
I would be remiss if I didn't mention London Town, a Technicolor musical filmed during WWII. It's almost impossible to find and so I have only seen it once. It makes that much of an impression. It's not good, but it specifically asked for favorites.

My bad, I should have said "English/Scottish/Irish". I've actually been on holiday over there (all three countries) four times in the last four years, so I know better. It's a beautiful part of the world - and I'm hoping to move there soon.
