Movie recommendation?

Whilst I was donating platelets today and watching Quartet, the donor next to me was watching Waking Ned Devine. After my movie ended, Rich the RN and I were chatting about movies and he mentioned another British movie that I would like that is streaming on Netflix. I think it's fairly new and probably a comedy.

I'll be darned if I can remember what it was. Any ideas? Or any other suggestions in that vein (so to speak)?

Now that I think about it, I haven't seen "The Land Girls," either.

It's early. Gotta go suck down some coffee!

I would recommend Simon Pegg's latest, The World's End.

Also classics like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, and (as if anyone hasn't seen it) Trainspotting.

There's also a great Irish comedy with Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle called The Guard. "Irish" and "comedy" don't usually go together, but that one really works.
