          DD, if you look at his profile, he's an Indian. And, by English, I assume, he means the English language (American/British doesn't matter). Most of the Indians don't differentiate between them.

            At first I thought the Poster is talking about the movies in "English" language not as in region.

                  You know, somehow I get the feeling that he did mean "Language" when he said "English". He's from India. We have movies releasing in a dozen languages every week and Very few people can actually tell the difference between an American and an English movie.

                            Superb film, but fails the English Test. Have you seen Inglorious Basterds yet? That is excellent.

                                    At the risk of sending Dave off the deep-end my vote goes for Local Hero (Scottish director, most of the cast, location). For purely English I'd say Heavens Above, The Ladykillers (original NOT the Tom Hanks travesty), Lawrence of Arabia or The Life of Brian. Andy B

                                      A walk to remember is an excellent movie. Now, picking ONE favourite to rule them all isn't difficult to me, it is bloody impossible. But one of my favourites, in line with what seems to be the collective taste in here, is The Shawshank Redemption. Also Tim Robbins best movie evvah. //L [EDIT] Overlloked the "english" bit in the original query. My answer still stands, though, with the addition of "The Match"[^] from 1999 as Honourable Mention :) [/EDIT]

                                        Does Restless Natives count? My Fav film but it could be classed as Scotish not English!

                                        Go away and research the subject, analyze the options for and against, understand the problem and them come back when you agree with me.

                                          How would you defend that as an English film? American again!

                                          It's in English, the real kind. ;P
