"Britannia Hospital"
1983
Directed by Lindsay Anderson

A day of celebration turns into an apocalyptic nightmare in Lindsay Anderson's biting social satire. The staff of Britannia Hospital is preparing for its 500th anniversary, the visit of the Queen of England. But all is not well, as the gates are mobbed by protesters, the wards overflow with casualties of terrorist bombings, and the unions threaten to strike. With Malcolm McDowell.  116 minutes.
