british films don't seem like cinema to us but i think it's thought of that way in other parts of the world the way we would look at european films like aki kaurismaki or something. e.g. mike leigh

In Bruges is universally loved including by americans. The Guard by that director's brother is also great

'In Fabric' was a great british film from a couple years ago. Really got under my skin and I had an extremely intense nightmare the night I saw it. Woke up screaming. That's a mark of quality. It's also really funny.
