The 100 best British movies. We spoke to over 150 movie experts and writers to put together this definitive list of British films
This is a chronological list of films produced in the United Kingdom split by decade. There may be an overlap, particularly between British and American films which are sometimes co-produced; the list should attempt to document films which are either British produced or strongly associated with British culture.

- Lawrence Of Arabia (1962) Directed by: David Lean. Starring: Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Omar Sharif. Strip away its scale and grandeur and Lawrence Of Arabia seems to be the kind of rags-to-riches tale that's two-a-shilling in cinema: an ordinary man shaking off mediocrity to answer the call of greatness.
- Monty Python's Life Of Brian (1979) Directed by: Terry Jones. Starring: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam.
- The Red Shoes (1948) Directed by: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger. Starring: Moira Shearer, Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring. There's a reason why most reviews of Black Swan harked back to this post-War Powell and Pressburger classic: this is the definitive ballet-dancer-finds-life-clashing-with-art film.
- Don't Look Now (1973) Directed by: Nicolas Roeg. Starring: Julie Christie, Donald Sutherland. Featuring the most famous dwarf this side of Thorin Oakenshield, deeply poignant turns from Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie, and that famous did-they-didn't-they sex scene (they didn't), Nic Roeg's great masterpiece has slowly seeped into British filmmaking lore.
100 titles. Sort by List order. 1. The Third Man. 1949 1h 33m Approved. 8.1 (182K) Rate. 97 Metascore. Pulp novelist Holly Martins travels to shadowy, postwar Vienna, only to find himself investigating the mysterious death of an old friend, Harry Lime. Director Carol Reed Stars Orson Welles Joseph Cotten Alida Valli. 2. Brief Encounter.
