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.
