16+ source guides: Contemporary British Cinema

Written and compiled by Erinna Mettler, Andrew Ormsby, David Reeve and Christophe Dupin

Arguments will continue to rage about what constitutes a 'British' film, and this guide will help you. If you want to know more about Trainspotting, Bean, Shallow Grave, and other classics of the early 1990s, or more up-to-date films, such as Bridget Jones's Diary and Billy Elliot, then dig deeper into this one. Some budget and box office information is hidden away in here as well.
