Sixteen Films About Reading

Local girl Kate Winslet has said that she'd like to make a film in her home town of Reading (presumably to raze to the ground the hideous block of flats named in her honour opposite a Pizza Hut).

This being the case, here's a list of films about Reading. Some local knowledge required.

1. Poo Island of Doctor Moreau
2. Butch and Sundance: The Earley Days
3. Whitley Men Can't Jump
4. Burnham after Reading (A film set on a commuter train to London)
5. Hexagon with the Wind
6. Beavis and Butts Centre
7. Smelly Alley G: The Movie
8. What Happens in Heelas
9. Emmer Green Berets
10. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Southcote
11. Sonning's Gotta Give
12. Ed Woodley
13. Journey to the Savacenter of the Earth
14. Action Jackson's
15. School of Reading Rock
16. Caversham Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

The eagle-eyed among you will note a lack of Ricky Gervais vehicle "Cemetery Junction", which while named after the Reading distrct twinned with Gomorrah, wasn't actually filmed there. Essentially because the entire truckload of film equipment would have been stolen during the first lunchbreak.

So, good luck Kate. Sorry about that time I accidentally touched your bosom and all that.
