There are many fine Brit films and would add to the growing list:
Don't Look Now
Zulu
The Bridge On the River Kwai
The Full Monty
Gandhi
Local Hero
The Madness of King George
Shakespeare In Love (UK/USA)
My Beautiful Laundrette
Brazil
The Ipcress File
The Remains of the Day (UK/USA)
Elizabeth
The Day of the Jackel (UK/FR)
The Killing Fields
I had my own little list and then reading through this thread reminded me of more:-
Rebecca
Random Harvest - not sure whether it's British though
The Fallen Idol - Ralph Richardson film
Everything - A Ray Winstone film that I stumbled across on one of the Sky Arts channels. Excellent film.
Monty Python's Life of Brian
Get Carter
Long Good Friday
Whistle Down The Wind - I could watch that film every day!
Don't Look Now
An opinion isn't worth anything when the facts disagree with it
It would be like saying Chewbacca comes from Great Yarmouth because that's where Peter Mayhew is from.
Except that Peter Mayhew is from Paulton, just outside Bristol, hence the West Country accent which, *takes a deep breath* IS VERY DIFFERENT TO THE NORFOLK/SUFFOLK ACCENT FFS SO PLEASE STOP PASSING OFF ONE AS THE OTHER IN MAINSTREAM COMEDY SHOWS!
Ryan's Daughter (my fave, panned by critics. Lawrence, Zhivargo, both long and boring ........).
Brief Encounter.
Blythe Spirit.
League of Gentlemen.
Green for Danger (minor classic).
School for scoundrels.
And brilliant adaptions of Great Expectations and Oliver Twist.
There hasn't been a decent British film made for a decade or more.
Mike Leigh and Ken Loach,dreary, uninspiring and over - rated.

"in your opinion"!
As already posted, there are dozens of British movies made in the last decade that, according to personal tastes, have been brilliant!

And most of Mike Leighs other films too....
The St Trinians films, the early ones, not the hopeless remakes.
