Best 100 British Films

http://www.timeout.com/london/feature/8 ... -full-list

Some amazing things on that list, and (surprisingly) a bunch I've never heard of and want to find.

I think Rise of The Foot Soldier, Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Chariots of Fire

Okay I don't like Chariots of Fire but it's somewhat Iconic is was in our fucking opening ceremony and has been played constantly and is currently showing at most cinemas.

Yeah, kinda my thought too... I tended to look at them as a whole though rather than specific rankings.

I need to re-watch a whole bunch of these!

What about "The Great Escaped" or "A Bridge too Far"?

I think they are probably English, and if not, they fucking should be.

I watched 'Fish Tank' a few months ago - a really impressive film.

My favourite line by far. I'm laughing now.

I'm surprised "The Third Man" didn't make it to #1. That's one of the all-time great films ever.
I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.
