It's not a movie, but I've stumbled over a marvelous British series on Netflix called Myths and Monsters.
It explores (mostly so far European--I'm on episode four of six) myths and legends and explores their underlying meaning in historical and psychological terms.
Tatort is a long-running German crime solving TV show with a huge number of full-length (90min) episodes spanning 5 decades.
Just recently I noticed - again - how good most of them are.
Different "sub-series" with different teams of investigators, and a different local setting.
Most people can watch/download at least some of them here. I watched 3 off the top of that list - mostly re-runs I think - two were superb and the third was good (it had a sort of female Columbo).
I just read that they may also be found on Netflix.
I was trying to find English subtitles, but that seems to be more difficult. This page lists only a few.
A simple web search suggests one or two other options.
I can't think of anything better than "Last of the summer wine" and "Are you being served". That slightly dry British humor is great. Also Coupling.
