Now this is a list we probably do not see often, at least state-side, but I thought it was a pretty solid one! The Guardian asked their “expert panel of film-makers and critics” to name their top 10 British films since 1984, instead they put together a list of 25 top British films from the past 25 years.
Films like Trainspotting, Four Weddings and a Funeral to newer films like Shaun of the Dead and Man On A Wire made the list. A few of these seem to be bordering on being British (only made by British filmmakers or about British people, not actually set in England, like Man on Wire) but they are all great films (those that I have seen).
Take a look below or click here for the full write-up! Perhaps my favorite on the list is Slumdog Millionaire and Shaun of the Dead, those have literally been my two most...

Milk (Universal) Sean Penn deservedly captured his second Best Actor Oscar (and Dustin Lance Black a statuette for his original screenplay) in director Gus Van Sant’s portrait of San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to hold public office in the U.S. Alternately heartbreaking, infuriating and very funny, a film that both captures a bygone era and is still very timely. Fine support from Josh Brolin, Victor Garber, James Franco and Emile Hirsch. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Three featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS 5.1 surround.
Slumdog Millionaire (20th Century Fox) The Best Picture of 2008 is a kinetic, clever audience-pleaser about a determined lad (Dev Patel) from the slums of Mumbai, who has his chance at literal and financial redemption as a contestant on India’s version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
