Mine is Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

I guess you have to question whether it qualifies as British. It's an adaptation of a British novel, Peter Sellers is it's star, it was filmed in England where Kubrick was also living.

Yes trainspotting is possibly the best. The Wicker Man definitely deserves a mention.

Also, being a horror fan, for me 28 Days Later is definitely up there. 28 Weeks Later is pretty much as good too.

Pretty much every film mentioned in this thread is a cracker to be fair.
