  ^^ This and Shaun of The Dead. Both brilliant and both undeniably British.

  I've had this movie on DVD for years, but still haven't watched it. I'm told it's brilliant.

  A good list though I think Brazil is looking a bit threadbare now.

  Great list, but Notorious and Rebecca are American film both directed by British director, Alfred Hitchcock.
  
  My own favourite is David Lean's masterpiece, This Happy Breed, with Celia Johnson, Robert Newton, Kay Walsh and John Mills.
