    A guy with nothing to do arrives in the big city looking for somewhere to go, but finds nowhere to stay. Everyone feels a bit sad.

    Nope.

    Extra hint - he visits an ex girlfriend and several strangers, most are glad when he leaves.

    Extra extra "
    MAGGIE! MAGGIE!"

    Not sure of that one but you've reminded me of another macabre gem.

    "I've written a letter to Daddy...whose address is heaven above" sung by a ghastly has-been who serves dead birds for supper.

    Mommy dearest

    Nope.
    Could be one of the best movies many never saw. Several awards but robbed of an oscar for best actor

    Set in London, a lot more clothing than it might suggest.

    A man wants to do business with some Americans and goes all out to impress them. Things go wrong leading them to think he is not up to it so they walk out on the deal. He tells them he is going to do business with the Germans instead. In the end he probably doesn't.
    From last night, Captn Midnight left it open for someone else. That's not a hint btw. ( no Enda Kenny's were harmed during the making of this film, ta Mansize)

    Might be that I haven't see it but it sounds very familiar. Will check it out if I haven't...once I find out what it is!!

    Is the above clue for the same film as the clue you gave where the man meets an ex girlfriend?

    I'm getting confused.

    a Mike Leigh masterpiece.
    Well worth watching, Thewliss has disappointed me in everything since, having given his all. A young Ewen Bremner gives his best performance too.

    applies to either or both, but that was guessed - Naked.
