Passport to Pimlico (1949)

This was a pretty funny movie (even though it was made in the '40s.) It is about a section of London that is found to really be part of Burgundy and because the residents are sick and tired of the British policies of the time (continued rationing despite the war ending 4 years earlier and being forced to carry an ID card, etc) they decide to use their right and become a separate country.

At first people take it as a joke and then when both sides try to force the other's hand the territory is sealed off completely by the British (ie no water or food, etc.) This movie was made during the Berlin Blockade when the Soviets did the same thing to West Berlin and like in Berlin there are airlifts and support from the outside.

Even though it is from the 1940s and many people would think there is no relevance to current issues in the UK especially they should remember that the British Government tried to impose a new ID card system that was just recently turned down because it was very unpopular. It also shows the way world governments "handle" international situations and why some things in that process need to be fixed. While it is a comedy it still makes you stop and think about current issues and what needs to be done to fix them.
