I remember Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines when it was first released, one of the funniest films I have ever watched. Bit dated now but still worth a look.

There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
And fate has just
Handed it to me - whoopee

There are a few films kicking about which on the surface seem British...actors, directors etc, but are in fact funded by Americans...think something like Gandhi might fall into that category.

But what makes a film British?
Funding? Style? Cast?

Think funding. James Bond films for example are not British funded, so not considered British...despite being shot at Pinewood, having British actors etc. |

I believe the two most recent films weren't shot at Pinewood anyway, moved to Poland now I think.

Ah, hold the phone. According to Wikipedia, most of Casino Royale was shot in studios in Prague, but QoS went back to Pinewood.
Panic over.

This page helps... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_filmTbh if a film is american funded but has a British director and cast and is filmed in this country then it is in some meaningful way British. I love The Hole for a while it was my favourite film and it definitely still is one of my favourites. I fucking love it. Thora Birch is awesome in it. Its down as a British film on that wikipedia page although it definitely didn't jump to mind originally. |

You know what Mex. Just today I was thinking, for whatever reason, "what is the name of that WWII movie with the young girl that's a bit of a tart?"............... Hope and glory it is.
Here's another: "When the wind blows"
