10 Best British Movies 2007

The 10 best British movies of 2007 assert that Hollywood, CA is not the only place where excellent cinema is being produced. Let's have a look at a few of the finer British films released in 2007.

1. "This Is England" – This is a scary story about the sway of skinheads during tough economic times. It'l break your heart to see what happens when a 12-year old boy joins one of these gangs. It is a particularly British film, although we all know racism is a universal evil.
2. "Sleuth"– This film stars Michael Caine and Jude Law. It was directed by Kenneth Branagh, and was based on Harold Pinter's screenplay. It's also a British mystery film, as only the Britsh can make.
3. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" - This is the fifth Harry Potter film in the franchise. In this one, Harry Potter, along with his cousin Dudly Dursley, is confronted by Dementors.
4. "I Want Candy" – This British comedy tells the story of a movie gone all wrong. When a group of film students try to make a feature film, they end up having to rewrite it into a porno.
5. "Hot Fuzz" – This film was created by the same folks that brought us "Shaun of the Dead". This is all about British police work. Only in this case, it's looked at from a very silly perspective.
6. "Control" – The group Joy Division didn't have much commercial success outside of England. But this band had a big influence on many other groups. This film tells the story of the singer, Ian Curtis, who committed suicide before the act could ever make it big.
7. "Becoming Jane" - There were/are few more British authors than Jane Austin. In this film, the writer's early life is portrayed. It explains just how Jane became the Jane we know and love — through her work — today.
8. "Atonement" – This moving story was nominated for many awards, including the nomination for best picture at the Oscars. It stars Keira Knightly, and includes a significant role by Vanessa Redgrave.
9. "28 Weeks Later" – Do you like zombie films? If so, you'll likely enjoy "28 Weeks Later". This one is a sequel to "28 Days Later". The living dead live on, especially through film.
10. "Dangerous Parking" – This is the story of an indie film director with a drug and alcohol problem? But wait. Isn't that the story of every Hollywood type? Well, not exactly. Nevertheless, this is a fine movie.
