	HIST 450b British Raj: Film List
		While some of these films are not very accurate or good, a few are excellent and effectively recreate the environment and compelling issues that people living in British India faced at different moments in their history.
		And since films are the media through which much of the general public gain their impressions of British India and other parts of South Asia, they are worthy of consideration by historians for that reason alone.
		Filming began in 2003 and the opening scene was launched by Charles, Prince of Wales during his state visit to India.

	British Film After 1970
		After the brief renaissance of the 1960s, when it seemed as though there was a viable revival of British film, the 1970s may seem a rather dismal and fallow period for British film-making and, therefore, the filmic "projection of Britain".
		Film traditions which had seemed original in the late 1950s and 60s were still churned out, but became increasingly tired, tiresome and formulaic: the 'Carry On' tradition ended with Carry On Emmanuelle, confirming the degeneration into smuttiness, and James Bond became less innovative and increasingly self-deprecating and tongue in cheek.
		Aside from the cosy (and often lavatorial) view of Britain projected by the 'Carry On' films, or the 'Gothic England' projected by early 1970s Hammer Horror films, the projection of Britishness was governed largely by the need to project a view of England that was internationally recognisable.

	Films on Liberty and the State
		The British Empire is concerned that the killing of the missionary, in particular, may draw the Germans into the war on the Boer side.
		Though the conflict in the film is with a corporatist state, the film is a comedy and it's central focus is this quirky but loving family and their castle that is more than a house...
		This film is a melancholy, dream-like poetic film.

	The History Place - Hollywood's Best History Films!
		This highly stylized film is considered to be a crowning achievement of 1980's era Soviet cinema.
		The film that defined an era - the Great Depression and Midwest Dust Bowl of the 1930s - showing the fear, uncertainty and misery of the little people, Americans in Oklahoma, leaving for the promised land, California, only to find they are not wanted once they arrive.
		This Civil War film has an amazingly realistic feel about it, taking us into battle with a frightened young Union soldier played by Audie Murphy (a World War II hero turned actor) who is forced to fight while confronting his own deep fears.

	Other Great Film Lists
		Film critics, writers, academics, and film directors were asked to determine which films stood the test of time in the face of shifting critical opinion.
		The list aimed to include films that are generally considered as classics of cinema, broke new ground in technique, subject matter or ideas, had phenomenal popular appeal and a lasting impact on popular culture and represent the greatest work of cinema's most respected directors and performers.
		The films that are selected must meet two criteria: they must be culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant and they must be at least ten years old.

		Thus, after each film notify me where and when you saw that film and include a paragraph that tells me what you think you learned from the movie about a specific aspect of British Culture.

	100 Top British Films of the 20th Century
		Participants were asked to consider (and vote for up to 100) 'culturally British' feature films, released in cinemas during the 20th century, which they felt had made a strong and lasting impression on the art form and the culture.
		Of course there may be films that are not on this list which one could argue passionately merit a place...The list is intended, and offered, as a starting-point for any discussion, rather than as an end to one.
		The films span seven decades, from 1935 to 1998, and the list accommodates the work of 70 film directors and much international talent.

		It is also maintains the world's largest film archive, the National Film and Television Archive, containing in total about 500,000 works of television and film.
		However, as the BFI (to my knowledge, at least) no longer produces films "off it's own bat" (i.e., without associate producers) the statement is potentially misleading as to their real significance.
		This is a list of some of the more notable British films.

	Movie-List - King Arthur Trailer Page
		As the Roman Empire crumbles (circa 450 A.D.), the British Isles are thrown into a loose anarchy as errant knights are entrenched in years of territorial battle.
		This film aims to tie the legend of Arthur into the realities of the time in which he would have ruled.
		The details of the plot aren't known, but this film will likely depict the battles that led to Arthur's reign, and the issues that he would have dealt with.

	Phi Phenomenon -- A Defense of the AFI's List
		However, the AFI's list was not created to reflect a single person's taste; it was created to present a consensus of the voters.
		The merits of these films are largely unquestionable; they belong on a list of great British films or of great films in general.
		For every film that should have been on a list of top 100 American films but was excluded, there had to be a film that was not a top 100 film but was included.

		Not to try to answer the unanswerable question of which is the best, but rather to poll the opinions of those involved in British film, who have seen more movies than most, for an indication of where their professional tastes lie, what their favourites are.
		That films from the 1960s feature so strongly points to an appreciation of the great changes in British cinema during that decade, when angrier voices like those of Lindsay Anderson, Karel Reisz, Tony Richardson, John Schlesinger and Joseph Losey led the way and were allowed to focus on social issues as well as pure drama.
		Of course there may be films that are not on this list which one could argue passionately merit a place.

	British Transport Films - BTF
		Anstey was a protégé of John Grierson the principle documentary film maker in the 1930s and the founder of the British Documentary Movement.
		Their purpose was the making of travelogue films that promoted destinations in town, country and seaside resorts throughout the British Isles, and promoted rail or associated transport as the best means for people to travel to the destinations represented on screen.
		The main purpose of the unit was to provide films that would stimulate travel by the commission's diverse services, and also to inform the public of the effort that went into providing these services.

		The list, expected to be released next year, will be contained in a book titled "100 Hindi Films" being written by acclaimed British film scholar Rachel Dwyer, who has authored several books on Bollywood.
		Dwyer said the yardstick she used to select the films was popularity, historical significance and aesthetics, "not necessarily in that order though".
		Various Indian publications, particularly film magazines, have come out with their own list of top 100 Hindi films, but this is perhaps for the first time that a book is being written explaining why the films chosen made the list.

		After the list had been typed and signed "16.4.72 A. Tarkovsky," we returned to our conversation, during which he quite naturally changed the subject and started with his gentle sense of humor to talk about something of no importance.
		And though he rated highly both Dovzhenko and Barnet, the complete absence of Soviet films from his list is perhaps indicative of the fact that he saw real film-making as something that went on elsewhere.
		His list, which includes three films by Bergman, undoubtedly reflects his taste both as a director and as a viewer - but the latter is subordinate to the former.

	The 100 Worst Films of the 20th Century (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		When this awful film played at the Paramount Theater (now the El Capitan) in Hollywood for one week in November 1980, the film's distributor, Cannon Films, offered souvenir soundtrack records to moviegoers on their way in (albums to the first 100 and 45 RPM singles to the next 1,000).
		This film is supposedly their "found footage." Of course, it was all a clever marketing gimmick and wasn't real, but that didn't stop moviegoers from lining up for hours to get a glimpse.
		Set in pre-Revolutionary France and filmed entirely on location there, the film is really a poor excuse for the pair to play multiple roles badly and put most of their family members on the payroll.

		Roth joins an illustrious list of directors who have received the award, including last year's winner John Maybury for "Love is the Devil." Hardly considered a grandpa at age 38, Tim Roth is a bit older than his British colleagues.

		In the survey, conducted by the British Film Institute and believed to be the first focusing on the industry, the directors Mike Leigh and Anthony Minghella and producer Tim Bevan were among more than 400 to submit their favourite 100 films.

		The most successful British film ever made is still a great crowd-pleaser, with winning performances and a very funny script in which a group of unemployed steel workers in Sheffield try and turn their fortunes around by becoming strippers.
		This bright spot for British comedy from the 80s was a mammoth hit and has a lot to enjoy: Curtis' orgasmic response to Cleese's language skills; Palin's comic stammer and clearly stealing the film, Kevin Kline's unhinged sociopath, Otto.

		Director Maurice Cloche portrays the poverty of the times and the cruelty of the regime in starkly convincing fashion, providing a solid historical framework within which Pierre Fresnay's performance in the title role shines with a warm compassion and spiritual intensity which most viewers will find irresistably compelling.
		A very personal film about love and compassion, the effect is strangely cold and distant.
