I don't really know of any...Perhaps you could name a few popular movies...or your top 10...whatever...

harry Potter is an American Film
Clockwork Orange is American
So are the Indiana Jones films
So is Star Wars

The Shinning is a US film too

So is 2001: A Space Odyssey

Answer 1

1:Witnail & I
2: Dog Soldiers
3:Lock, Stock and two Smoking Barrels
4: Trainspotting
5: League of Gentleman Apocalyse
6: Shaun of the Dead
7: Montypthyon and the Holy Grail
8: Billy Elliot

This list is in no particular order and could go on for about 12 pages. All films were made in the uk with British Directors, however could be with American production companies, or on release from these studios. The Harry Potter film series is in fact a UK film production, just with warner bros money and a American director, the rest is pure British, it's just we in england wouldn't do it well because we couldn't and wouldn't put enought money in it.
