Looking for flicks set in Wales

I'm sure we all could name a few flicks that are set in different regions of the British Isles...Scotland, England, Ireland, but does anyone out there know of any good flicks that are set in Wales?

I just recently saw 'An Englishman Who Went Up a Mountian...' and realised it was set in Wales. I then thought, wow, I can't name anything else set in this part of the world.

Any help or suggestion on how to get an answer?

This might help out:

http://us.imdb.com/keyword/wales/

But bear in mind some of these might only have a tentative connection to Wales.

The excellent "How Green Was My Valley" by John Ford (on the imdb.com list).

Human Traffic. A good movie about partying / clubbing.

If you're just looking for scenery, I believe Dragonslayer was filmed in Wales?

Twin Town is the only one I've seen. A fairly awful little movie with a few partially redeeming qualitiesd. Also, the speak Welsh in it.

In television:

The revival of Doctor Who is filmed in Wales, and stories frequently occur there. You'd be surprised at how many aliens want to invade Cardiff!

Also, the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood premieres next month, and that takes place entirely within Cardiff.

If you're looking into TV set in Wales there's loooooads of it. There's a Welsh language channel called S4C with a soap opera that's popular called Pobl Y Cwm.
