Lets put it this way, I started the thread, I know what I meant by a "British movie" and as far I am concerned "Snatch" is British movie, play the semantics all you wish

if you wish to dispute the T&C's on thread suggest you retain a lawyer....

I just watched Zulu.....it was kinda like the original Alamo movie.......no comparison to Lof A.......off topic...The Man Who Would be King....a movie I have never re-watched....I would like to see it again.......in a camper with no jelly.

[Costas2008]

I love all the Carry on films.

All 32 of them.

In today's multinational film making environment (especially between the US/UK) it's hard to say what is a British film (financing, producing, directing, acting, filming locations). However, 3 films stand out that had British subject matter, were partly or mostly shot in Britain, or had heavy British involvement or featured British leads:

1. The English Patient

2. Out of Africa

3. The Red Violin

Digby the worlds biggest dog, confessions of a window cleaner, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, was Chitty British?
