We're usually the nasty baddy who mistreats the cute American kid ie. Three Men and a Little Lady, or is a nasty terrorist, ie. Cliffhanger (where the terrorist is actually played by an American putting on a crappy Public School accent in John Lithgow). In British movies we always portray Americans in the best light, ie. Julia Robert's character in Notting Hill; Andie McDowell in Four Weddings...Don't you have to admit this is is a little unbalanced?
And do you in America actually realise that we don't talk like Rupert Everett/Hugh Grant ect.

Cuz english people always talking about "yanks" and demeaning us on a daily basis like its jealousy or something. I should know I lived in England for 3 years. In america the english just don't come up in conversation at all. If they did its never something bad. Just be happy not everyone knows the truth. Except those in hollywood of course.

Pretty much our only guidelines are Masterpiece Theatre and re-productions of Elizabeth I. I can only suggest that the English people produce more movies that accurately portray them.
