Welcome to the first in my new series of reviews, where I take a look back at some of the examples of British films that have come out over the years. Now, believe it or not the definition of what is and what isn't a British film is actually something of a vague issue, as there is some debate as to what British cinema actually is as there is normally a lot of European or American influence in the films in one way or another.
For example, in the Eighties due to the tax breaks that the government had for filmmakers at the time, it wasn't unusual for a lot of Hollywood blockbusters to be at least partially filmed in or produced by a studio in the UK, like the 1989 Batman film for example, or Alien.
But for the purposes of this series, I'm defining it as a film that has a combination of the following factors.

- It has to be based in the UK.
- At least some of the cast has to be nominally British.
- The production team have to at least partially from the UK.
- It has to be based on a story, novel etc. from here.
