Wonderful list! — 3 years ago

I grew up in the Commonwealth so saw a lot of these films before realising what Hollywood realy was about. Looking back, some of these films a true gems!

The “Carry on…” series of comedies brought immense delight, laughter and happiness to our large family in the 60`s and 70`s.

I am surprised that “Sound of Music” and “My Fair Lady” did not make the top 100 in the voting, I wonder also where the brilliant “Chariots of Fire” ended?

[Iv’e added some posters but why are my icons square?]

Sound of Music?

Written, composed, and directed by Americans, paid for by an American studio? About Austrians? Some Brits in the cast, no doubt, but surely that’s not enough to qualify it as a British film?
