Thought I'd make a thread for people to discuss and reccomend good British films that are out there. I know I'd certainly like to see more.
I'll start with a few of my favourites....

Kidulthood
Adulthood
The Football Factory
Rise of the Foot soldier
Trainspotting
I.D.
The Bank Job
Human Traffic

    I have a question...although made by an American studio, would you consider the Harry Potter movies to be British films?
