I’ll say it again: Love Actually. It’s a classic. Surprised no one mentioned Monty Python either. Also here’s a few more that are worth watching: 1917, Pride, Billy Elliot, Rocketman, Kingsman: the Secret Service, Ex Machina, Slumdog Millionaire, Chicken Run, the Gurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Hot Fuzz, Sunshine on Leith, Trainspotting etc. There are lots of famous ones that are British/American such as Les Miserables and The Danish Girl.
The Third man, Elizabeth and Room with a View are just three of the many British films that I love - there are too many to begin to list, but there’s a whole host of British film and TV that are top notch.
- The Wind That Shakes the Barley and I, Daniel Blake, both directed by Ken Loach - Monty Python and the Holy Grail, since The Life of Brian was already mentioned - Good Vibrations, directed by Lisa Barros D'sa and Glenn Leyburn - Gandhi and Cry Freedom, both directed by Richard Attenborough - Tsotsi, directed by Gavin Hood, a South African, but in co-operation with Brits - The Theory of Everything, directed by James Marsh Those are some good ones I could think of right now.
I had no idea how dominating American culture really was. Here are my top five: (1) Full Monty, (2) Four Weddings and a Funeral, (3) Brazil, (4) The Remains of the Day, and (5) Dunkirk.
The Red Shoes by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, or Bridge on the river Kwai by David Lean. But Brief Encounter is a fantastic movie too. It's sad to see english folks don't know their own movies and mostly know american ones, but we have the same issue in France.
How sad to see that lots of people are not fans of Harry Potter.... :/ Harry Potter and James Bond are the first options poping up in my mind if someone asks me about British movies. Well, also Mr. Bean, he's got movies too.
Oooo suggestion for a follow-up to this video: ask people their favourite foreign film in a language other than their own 1st language!! (Sorry Brits, I don’t mean choosing an American-made film 😉) That might bring out some very interesting answers.
Glad to see Shane Meadows get a couple of shouts with This Is England and Dead Man's Shoes :) A Room For Romeo Brass is a lesser known one by him which is an absolute gem.
It's so sad that the British youth seem to be forgetting/not appreciating their culture. Shoutout to the two lads that said Quadrophenia/Dead Man's Shoes though
Period drama all the way!!! BBC & Masterpiece Theatre have done such a lot of period drama. I’m not sure if I have seen The Duchess yet, but Downton Abbey (series, by Julian Fellowes) is quite absorbing. There are also the older favourites like Shakespeare adaptations - for instance, Twelfth Night, with Helena Bonham Carter. Or there are the children’s classics like The Secret Garden with Maggie Smith (1993 or 1994). Bottle Shock (albeit an American film, but with Alan Rickman as the main character) is another excellent film. Or there’s the Sense and Sensibility adaptation with Emma Thompson, a small part played by Hugh Laurie, and Alan Rickman (1995? I think), which is a very good version of Jane Austen’s first-published book. The list could go on of course, but I am quite surprised that Fry & Laurie, Rowan Atkinson, Monty Python, Simon Pegg...etc. weren’t mentioned by anyone being interviewed!!! Hot Fuzz is HILARIOUS. 😂
A bonnet is an old-fashioned hat, worn by women in the past. He’s basically saying he doesn’t like “costume dramas” or films set in a time when the clothing was very different to today.
I think I've never watched any British movie. By the way, I've noticed in the Uk you use a lot the expression " fair enough ", is there any equivalent expression to that in American English? ( to understand it better ) Thanks a lot
@@glennkelly4058 thank you! It just sounded a bit weird so I decided to double check it. Does he virtually mean that he doesn't like films where people wear these hats?
Wow. I’m American and without even actively trying I think I watch more British movies in a year than British people watch in five years. Like I said, I’m not even telling myself, “I’m in the mood for a British movie,” when I pick something. It’s just whatever catches my attention.
Sounds a bit like me 😉 then again, I’ve grown up watching old films (silent ones, 30s/40s) and British telly (like Are You Being Served?, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Mr. Bean, etc.) and classic British films (like Merchant/Ivory productions). I actually prefer British-made over American-made films. There’s something about the training in drama that just makes British actors so versatile and deeply engaging.

All great recommendations! Thanks for your support!
I like King's speach a lot, Pride and prejudice 1995 too
Sean of the dead ,amazing film!!!
Classic!
cornetto trilogy for that matter, mr. wright is amazing
Right, its cool but very terrifying to me, cause, you know, poor Dylan Moran. No spoilers, but really, though, that was very scary moment with him
YAS
Trainspotting...Lock, stock and two smocking barrels...Snatch...Layer cake...RocknRolla...Mean machine
great recommendations - Guy Ritchie helped change peoples perceptions that we don't all sound like Dick Van Dyke, and instead like London gangsters

This Happy Breed. Can't get any more British than that!

Bitter Moon, maybe? I do love this one.
Fantastic suggestion! And with Hugh Grant!!
i had been waiting for a long time to appreciate how is the live in England, is the same but with cloudy days.
How sad to see that lots of people are not fans of Harry Potter.... :/ Harry Potter and James Bond are the first options poping up in my mind if someone asks me about British movies. Well, also Mr. Bean, he's got movies too.
For me the best one is Inside I'm Dancing, brilliant movie. And i like british romantic films like Love, Rosie or Me Before You😊
Wow, I've not seen any of these. I will have to check them out.....thanks!
Inside I'm Dancing is Irish, not British :-) and yes, it is a great film
“Snatch” and “Revolver” by Guy Ritchie
I can recommend "an inspector calls", directed by Aisling Walsh.
A Passage to India (1984), Lawrence of Arabia (1962), My Fair Lady (1964)
congratulation to your for brand new channel , My creeting
Thanks for your support!!

I think it's "Reign" :) ♥
Thanks for the correction! My disregard of Period dramas proven right there :)
@@mitchhargreaves Haha! In any case I really enjoyed your conversations with people so thank you ♥
@@TheNivKo Very welcome, thanks for your support!
For me it would be Monty Python's Life of Brian, hilarious and brilliant.

It's "rite of passage" btw, not "right of passage"
Mine is Me Before You!! Who’s with me? ❤️❤️
I've not seen this........yet. Thanks for the recommendation
😭🙌🏻 I am!!! Aharharhar...!!! 💗💞💕
I don’t think it’s a British movie
I love this one, so romantic
It's so sad that the British youth seem to be forgetting/not appreciating their culture. Shoutout to the two lads that said Quadrophenia/Dead Man's Shoes though
It would be better if you add french subtitles also,as a Francophone I am, I don't understand British English well, THANK YOU
Snatch or the Full Monty for me
The Full Monty is a great example of British film-making

Hot Fuzz is HILARIOUS. 😂
I liked watching the movie - Finding Forrester, with Sean Connery. it was simply awesome!
It's a brit Film. Movie is American. Sense and sensibility.
One of my absolute favourites! I know it was directed by Ang Lee, but also seems to bring together the best of British
straight outta compton lmfao
The Inbetweeners 1 and 2.... and Brothers Grimsby are my favourite British movies
Surprised no one brought up a Guy Ritchie film.
my favourite british movie is "Threads" (1984)
This music is much better
4:55 lmao my boy's a polygamist
Thanks
Dead mans shoes, classic.
Can't wait to hear what Louis Ronan 2 has to say about that
I agree with Louis Ronan 1
Louis Ronan : You can be number 1 bro, got to look out for Louis’
Human traffic !
Great recommendation!
1:25 i didnt know you interviewed lewis capaldi
The Boy!
The first 4 Harry Potter films, both the Fantastic Beasts films and 102 Dalmatians are my favourite British films z
Hot Fuzz is underrated movie
Absolutely, it's great!
Best -Johnny English)
Bridge Over River Kwai
This is an excellent film!!
The Third Man is the best British movie ever. How do British people not know this!!
No British actors in Grand Budapest Hotel??? It's full of them
If you want to see what life is like for the 'underclass' in London, watch Ill Manors. Don't watch it if you are feeling depressed already though.
What does it mean 'something with a bonnet' ? 7:07 Why is it about a period drama?
A bonnet is an old-fashioned hat, worn by women in the past. He’s basically saying he doesn’t like “costume dramas” or films set in a time when the clothing was very different to today.
@@patrickslater3054 Thank you so much for your answer! :)

‘Fair enough’ is just a filler phrase really. It kind of just means ‘oh okay’.
I'm not sure how accurate this is but maybe 'that figures' or 'okay sure'
@@AndersGehtsdochauch No, it's nothing like saying 'obviously'
@@AndersGehtsdochauch No it's not 'obviously' it's more like 'oh, ok' or 'alright then.'
It can be used when you don't agree with someone but don't want to argue with them.
the first thing that comes to my mind when i think about a British movie is Harry Potter
Am I the only who consider this Eng video is EZ PZ to understand?
you spelt 'Transpotting' wrong - it should be 'Trainspotting'
A bonnet? Could anybody explain what it is?
It's a brimless hat normally with straps to tie under the chin. They were worn by women. Nowadays people put them on babies to keep their heads warm.
@@glennkelly4058 thank you! It just sounded a bit weird so I decided to double check it. Does he virtually mean that he doesn't like films where people wear these hats?
@@johncallmecove762 Google a pic of it :)
@@johncallmecove762 Yep! The sight of a bonnet tells me I'm in for 2 hours of boredom

What does “right of passage” means?
