Ok, so British cinema's not quite Hollywood, but we've made the odd stellar flick! Bluddy rude if you ask me, what! :rant:Quote:

That is a very strange list of films...
Citizen Kane I can understand, Orson Wells was very much ahead of his time his films are probably more popular now than when they were made.
The list doesn't look very contemporary and I dare say there are some blinding omissions of some more recent films that have been just stunning... The question I would ask is what age group did they survey to get that list?
