Dear Mr. J Foreigner,
I read your question regarding aquisition of the gentle lilt of the Queen's own English with interest. However I must inform you that it is something one is born with or lacks forever I'm afraid. I admire your efforts, if only more of your ilk strove to be British how wonderful this world could be.
Yours in irony,
Col. (rtd) Dukeofmud MBE

You don't need to talk like the Queen. I think you're referring to received pronounciation. Just talk normally, avoiding slang and informal words. Consult a reputable dictionary for words you're unsure of. The real scoop, though, is to be happy with the accent you've got, and not to change it for anyone except you.
Hope that helps,
Simon H

Watch 1950's black and white British movies or go on a Hollywood pronounced English course.

There's no such thing. If you mean "received pronunciation", it's not worth it, as it's dying out. Nowadays, thank goodness, ALL English accents are regarded as being as good as each other.
That give you what you wanted? :-)
