best british movie of all time and have you seen any decent ones lately ?

Star Wars (it's got the baddie from Lovejoy in)

(for the record, Lock Stock was flipping ace to watch as a kid. Granted it aged and became far too familiar almost immediately. It's still a great film IMO, though I couldn't watch it now.)
 
Does 'The Omen' count as a British film?

It's an American/British co-production, but it's basically a Hollywood film shot in the UK and not what I'd count as a quintessentially British film. All the main creative people involved and the financing were American.
 
My mate introduced me to a lot of foreign cinema mainly s american y tu mama tambien carandiru city of god and the mini series city of men and also lives of others would like to watch sum bollywood aswell sorry going off subject now oooh and the motorcycle diaries

Watch Tropa Elite (Elite Squad). And the sequel.

You'll do your bollocks, I promise you.
 
What no Hammer?

Hammer's Dracula has been mentioned. I'm a big fan of Hammer films, but I'd have difficulty choosing one. While one of their best horror films, the first Hammer Dracula is probably best seen as representing the studio. My personal favourites would be Brides of Dracula, Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed and Quatermass and the Pit.
 
Um, off the top of my head

Nil By Mouth
Scum (Oooh, Wintstone twice there!)

A Clockwork Orange

Force of habit I guess just takes the sting outta posts or maybe makes me look liike a tit I suppose
To be honest I wouldn't say your posts are stinging (we specialise in stinging posts here) and as for the latter part of your statement, well, I couldn't possibly comment.
 
Christopher Lee, Freddie Francis, Peter Cushing? 70's creaky British Horror? Set in Victorian England?

What a fool i am for thinking this was a Hammer!

Let a horror geek tell you that it was a Tygon pic and that there is a HUGE difference. :D
