BFI Top 100 British films

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1999, the British Film Institute surveyed 1,000 people from the world of British film and television to produce a list of the greatest British films of the 20th century. Voters were asked to choose up to 100 films that were "culturally British".[1]
