Four Lions perfectly fuses together the oxymoron that is radical Islamic terror attacks and the humdrum and depressing state of living in modern britain. It is one of the best comedies ever made.
Lawrence of Arabia, specifically his fetishization of Arabic culture to the point where he believes he is an Arab trapped in a white man's body and ends up getting assraped by a Turkish captain.
Well I'd say the whole Up series. Neil is truly /ourguy/, the only person I still cared about once they got older

Kes
All depict modern life quite well (even Kes, which is over 50 yrs old, has a bearing on modern life in the working North)
everyone always says naked, which is great and all, but honestly happy-go-lucky and another year are equally real portraits of the sort of people i actually know in this country from mike leigh
No film can truly reflect the abject misery of being sentient in this arse backwards shithole of a country, but anything Monty Python does a good job of taking the piss out of it.
Unironically.
