Very cool. A few suspect choices though. Deliverance is a great film but has John Boorman done much else worth him being in that list?
Plus I think Shane deserves to be much higher, in time he will be I'm sure.

Thats Bollocks. Last time I checked Stanley Kubrick was British! And wheres Alan Clarke and why are Mike Leigh and Ken Loach so low down.  Some notable names missing too. |

Kubrick was American? Lived in the UK tho'. I like the readers comment about Loach from Mr Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells  |

Kubrick was well into his 30s when he moved to the UK - it always cracks me up when people label his post-SPARTACUS films British, just because they were filmed here. That would be akin to calling BATMAN, ALIEN and SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE British films!

ITs a British film if over 70% of it was made in UK including filming and post right? For example JUDGE DREDD is an British film where as THE ENGLISH PATIENT is not. I think ALIEN is but only through circumstance. Robert Murphy touches on this in his editorial of British Cinema.

I worked as a runner on JUDGE DREDD – almost all the principle case were American and all the producers and writers were. Granted, it was shot at Shepperton and had a British director, I really cannot see how this could be categorised as British… ALIEN was entirely shot at a UK studio – Elstree, I believe, but again, was almost entirely US cast and was funded by 20th Century Fox! |
