so i just bought a couple of DVDs and one of them was Twin Town which is awesome and i'm glad i bought it, but the thing is i've got it mixed up in my head with another film only i can't remember what the other is called or who's in it. when i went to the shops i had the image in my head of these two films run into one, and now i find that one of them isn't the other... sort of thing.
so, i know there's many movie buffs peruse these forums and i wondered if any could help or at least speculate as to what the film i'm thinking of is. so here's a description as i remember it:
i think it was based in a small south english town on the coast (maybe south west) and most of the plot was this middle aged lady (she might have been a hotel or guesthouse owner) owed some money after her husband died and she came upon the idea to grow weed and sell it to get the cash quick. only she was a bit clueless and it came about that these couple of local layabouts helped her cultivate the weed and they ended up being hugely successful. and there's one scene i remember fairly vividly where the woman goes into the city (might be london, camden perhaps) and accosts this rasta looking guy to try and sell some bud to him and she's got a huge stem with a tonne of huge buds on it in her handbag but the rasta guy wants none of it and hurries off. and there's another short scene where the greenhouse she's growing them in lights up like a star cuz of all the light they're pumping in there and it makes the whole town light up.
i know that's really vague and i appreciate it's probably a very low budget british film that never left the islands but it'd be awesome if any of you could share any ideas you might have as to what it is. oh, and i also have a vague feeling julie walters might have been in it, but that could well be entirely erroneous.
