"Love Actually"

Liam Neeson, no accented actor was turned away at the casting session.  The fact that all of these British stars actually made a very endearing movie makes the collaboration all the better. 

"28 Days Later"

Danny Boyle’s manic, high adrenaline zombie thriller redefined the zombie genre. This incredible movie also introduced the world to a destroyed, post-apocalyptic world which proved to be as terrifying as it was beautiful.  Plus it created a new nightmare for horror fans around the globe with fast zombies.

"Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels"

What would England be without a seedy underbelly? Guy Ritchie writes and directs the perfect films to showcase all that England’s criminal population has to offer. So be prepared for some rough words and rougher characters in this film.
