And by extension those who cant understand anyone from the north atlantic archipelago.

Surprised that oysters never heard the term taking the piss before i decided to start this thread for people who cant understand what brits and irish are saying. The best way to learn is through immersion no? Extra points for one or more confused americans used for comedic effect.

Snatch- takes place in london. The american in question is played by dennis farina.
Formula 51- known in the uk as 51st state. Americans include samuel l jackson and meatloaf.

"The Limey". Terrence Stamp plays some kind of cockney underworld figure, whose in Los Angeles or somewhere to avenge the dissappearance of his daughter. Much rhyming slang ensues, such as "E's me noo China" (Chine --> China plate --> mate). It was the Fonda from Easy Rider wot dunnit, and for some reason, he gets a couple of monologues reminiscing about the sixties, as an added bonus, or punishment.

Those other Guy Ritchie films - Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and even Layer Cake, which wasn't as good - should be included too, surely. Oh, and Shallow Grave. Except Shallow Grave is in Edinburgh, I think, even though there's a couple of cockneys in it.
