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

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.

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?

This always raises a smile,

The Man Who Would Be King, classic.

What a scene, worth watching again for this scene only, this is movie is part of my Songkran Survival Pack.

Black humour, Bernard Hill as the doorman is great.

long good Friday.

Get Carter

I have always reckoned that The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp was and still is a classic in its own right.
