371. The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain (1995)

October 12, 2014

Featuring what is easily one of the longest movie titles of all time, 'The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain' is a decent movie. Hugh Grant plays his usual character - charming and British. It is based on the true story of a town in Wales that believed they had a mountain until a surveyor came out and told them it was only a hill. Determined to keep their mountainous status, the townsfolk gathered together to throw as much dirt on top of the hill as possible in order to gain about 20 feet more height, all while making sure the surveyor couldn't leave until he'd given their mountain another measure. It was entertaining, and good for a lazy Sunday afternoon movie.
