The boat that rocked (Radio Encubierta in Spanish) is the last film I've seen (original version, of course). It is a comedy about a pirate radio station in the North Sea in the 1960s in the UK. At this time, the BBC was the only UK mainland licensed radio broadcaster playing little more than two hours of any kind of recorded music each week. In the story a pirate station called Radio Rock began broadcasting rock music twenty-four hours a day from a boat anchored off the coast of England in international waters. Hosted by a colourful band of disc-jockeys, it soon gains an audience of millions and angers the government in the process.
What else can I say? Made by the creators of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Love Actually, it's full of humour, good music and references to other films that you'll immediately recognise.
