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.

I was a small, fat child in a welfare house
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.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

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"
