The Best 49 British Films Of All Time

Barry Norman has produced a typically idiosyncratic list of the best 49 British Films of all time.

After reading the list I carried out a quick calculation and realised that I had seen 34 of them.  Many of the others are on one or other of the many mental lists I have of films that I've read about and would like to see at some point - perhaps a long trawl through the DVD section of eBay and some quiet nights in could help me boost my score.

The Daily Telegraph has produced a BAFTA special photo gallery covering all the films:

In truth I wouldn't mind seeing any - or all - of them again.  the real challenge would be to nominate the fiftieth film.  Possibly something by John Boorman?  Excalibur?
