Top Five British Films

America has given me most of my favourite films but there are so many British films that are amazing and it's really hard to pick just 5. I think this country is producing some amazing films at the minute but I wish we could match America in the action stakes. Nothing ever seems to be big enough or elaborate enough compared. I was really trying to think of some older British films that I loved but this is the list that I came up with. Enjoy. 1. Stardust I know this isn't a 100% British film but it's mostly British so I say it counts. Although this is really a kids film, I know so many adults that love it. Everything about it is fantastic and magical and ...  Read the complete review

This was tough, how do you leave out if......., Kes, Get Carter, Four Weddings, The Long Good Friday, The Third Man, the 39 Steps, Whisky Galore, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Trainspotting, Don't Look Now, Oliver Twist, Performance, there are so many others I could mention, but these are 5 I love, they all sum up Britishness in their own way. I think British films can have a real charm and really portray our nation and its people in a much more realistic way than any ofther country can portray us, in the history of World Cinema I truly believe we have made some amazing and groundbreaking films which stand comparison with any and here are my top five of all ...  Read the complete review

It has been very difficult to narrow my favourites down to just five British films, but with careful discernment, my list is now complete. I haven't gone into too much detail regarding the storyline of the films, as I'd hate to spoil it for anybody who hasn't seen them, yet is thinking of doing so.

I much prefer a film to centre around characterisation and acting skills, and I feel that my list which follows contains the cream of the crop of British offerings.

There are a few films I just love and feel all British when watching them. I do love the occasional American film but the 5 following films are classics I just love to watch over and over again. I am not sure what it is but all of these films can be watched over and over without getting boring. Any film with Hugh Grant in seems to be a good British film, so it's hardly surprising that I have mentioned two of his films and could have named more. Here are a few films I absolutely love. NO: 5 FULL MONTY 1997 -------------------- I love The Full Monty, not only because of the naked men featuring in it but for the serious message of ...  Read the complete review

This is going to be such a toughie. Not thinking of five British films to fill this list with, but narrowing it down to only five. I have a real love for British Film, it’s a shame it’s so overshadowed by the big budget American film-churning machine. But still, what the Brits lack in budget they more than make up for in stories, acting and good old fashioned British humour. So hold on to your seats lads and ladies, whilst I load up the first of my top five British Films; The Italian Job If you had to sum up the Italian Job in a couple of words, you might come up with ‘gold thieves’, ‘Charlie Croker’ or even ‘Benny Hill’ but for me, the words that ...  Read the complete review
