The Films of The Young Brit Film Club
'The Young Brit Film Club' is a term I coined for five British filmmakers who at first glance appear to have little in common: Guy Ritchie, Matthew Vaughn, Edgar Writer, Dexter Fletcher, and Joe Cornish, Sure their films share some stylistic similarities and a few of them have made American blockbusters but what else do these four have in common?
They are all friends,
They have produced each other's movies,
They have cameoed in each other's movie,
Some of them have even written movies for the others.
With these similarities in mind (and a few shared actors) it's not hard to see the connections in this bizarre filmography.
