Some alternative ways to say 'Good luck' in England are:

Fingers crossed

Be lucky

Hope the gods are looking down on you

Break a leg (usually said to actors before they are due to go on stage)

Good fortune

Wish you well

Strongs

Go get 'em

and: 'all the best'

Bonne chance in French (sounds like bon shons).

Sterkte (Afrikaans for Good Luck)

As a brief addendum, one tells an actor to "break a leg" because saying "good luck" to an actor about to perform is viewed as wishing them bad luck. The origin of the phrase is obscure, but the most common story is that an actor was profusely wished good luck before a show and during a stunt, broke his leg. The company and associated actors following superstition, would tell their fellows to break a leg to wish good luck as wishing an actor good luck could make them break a leg. Finally, if you are wishing luck to a hunter/soldier/fighter pilot the appropriate terms in English is "Good hunting".

Good Night and Good Luck compared to the Crucible?

"Good Night, and Good Luck" (2005) and "The Crucible" (1953) both explore themes of fear, hysteria, and the consequences of standing up against societal pressures, though they do so in different historical contexts. "Good Night, and Good Luck" is set during the 1950s, at the height of the Red Scare and McCarthyism. The film centers on journalist Edward R. Murrow and his fight against Senator Joseph McCarthy's anti-Communist witch hunt. The film highlights the role of the media in holding powerful figures accountable, with Murrow risking his career to challenge McCarthy's baseless accusations. The focus is on how fear and unfounded accusations can shape public opinion and the importance of standing up for truth, even in the face of political and social pressure. In contrast, "The Crucible" is set in 1692, during the Salem witch trials, and is an allegory for McCarthyism, written by Arthur Miller. The play follows the hysteria that sweeps the town of Salem as accusations of witchcraft destroy lives. Characters in the play, such as John Proctor, are faced with the choice between self-preservation and moral integrity, much like Murrow in the film. Abigail Williams, the antagonist, manipulates fear for personal gain, echoing how individuals can exploit societal fear to achieve power. Both works critique how fear leads to the breakdown of rational thought and justice. In Good Night, and Good Luck, Murrow’s courage contrasts with the compliance of others, showing the media’s potential to resist oppressive forces. Meanwhile, The Crucible demonstrates how a community can be consumed by hysteria, with accusations used as tools for revenge or self-interest. Ultimately, both pieces highlight the dangers of conformity, groupthink, and the abuse of power. They show the consequences of failing to resist fear-based systems, whether through media or social pressure. Both Murrow and Proctor are moral figures who, despite the consequences, stand against the overwhelming forces of fear and oppression, making these works timeless warnings against the dangers of unchecked power.
