Best of British Films

[Prospero]

If you dine in the more touristy restaurants in Budapest the sort of zither music featured in The Third man is pretty common... Anton Karas was the musician I think who was Viennese

[Jericho]

Ice Cold in Alex
Quatermass and the Pit
Passport to Pimlico

[miner]

The Day of the Jackal with Edward Fox, not Bruce Willis.

[Sebastian]

Love Actually (but don't tell anyone)

[irvin66]

Here are some of my favorites list:
Snatch 2000
RocknRolla 2008
Revolver 2005
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels 1998
Shaun of the Dead 2004
Hot Fuzz 2007
Guest House Paradiso 1999

There are probably more but these are the ones I remember at the moment. Here in Norway we are raised with British films and British football matches on TV.

See from Irvin's list that NONE of these are on Barry's Norman's Best list... so best and favourite really are two different categories.

the carry on movies are classics of comedy

If they are classics the word needs to be redefined. Not one of them could touch the feet of an Ealing comedy. Puerile, smutty, sexist and hopeless.

Sorry.
