Some recent British Drama films are:
- This Is England (2006):
Set in the 1980's the film covers a troubled boy growing up, the film covers friendship, violence and racism. This Is England could relate to our film as we could cover friendship and bonds between our two main characters.

- Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels (1998):
Four London working class stiffs pool their money to put one in a high stakes card game, but things go wrong and they end up owing half a million pounds and having one week to come up with the cash. This film could relate to ours as we could see gambling and a lot of high stakes scenes.
- The Football Factory:
The Football Factory is more than just a study of the English obsession with football violence, its about men looking for armies to join, wars to fight and places to belong. A forgotten culture of Anglo Saxon males fed up with being told they're not good enough and using thier fists as a drug they describe as being more potent than sex and drugs put together. Shot in documentery style with the energy and vibrancy of handheld, The Football Factory is frightingly real yet full of painful humour as the four characters extreme thoughts and actions unfold before us.
- Mean Machine (2001):
A soccer star jailed for assault leads a group of inmates in a match against prison guards. The film covers a lot of physical violence, racism, and murder. Some of these issues we could use as a motivation for our film.
- Shifty (2008):
Shifty, a young crack cocaine dealer in London, sees his life quickly spiral out of control when his best friend returns home. Stalked by a customer desperate to score at all costs, and with his family about to turn their back on him for good, Shifty must out-run and out-smart a rival drug dealer, intent on setting him up for a big fall. As his long time friend Chris, confronts the dark past he left behind him, Shifty is forced to face up to the violent future he's hurtling towards.
We can highlight some of the issues used in Shifty e.g drugs, drug dealing, dark pasts and friendships and use them in out film.
