The British Film Industry

Pathe: Chicken run, Beauty and the beast, Inbetweeners 2, Mac Beth, Kill list.

Film4 : Ex_Machina, Thunderpants, Sightseers, Cuban Fury, The most wanted man.

Eone Entertainment: Sinister, The woman in black, Insidious, Paranoia, The hunger games.

Working title: Everest, Love actually, We are your friends, Les Miserables, The worlds end.

Warpfilms: This is England, The Stone Roses:Made of stone, '71, Four Lions, Submarine.

BigTalk Productions: Shaun of the dead, Attack the block, Cuban Fury, In Fear.

Personally i think that Eone entertainment dominates the uk film industry seen as they have got bigger film names, they may not have A list celebrities however nearly all there films grossed a lot.



Avengers: This film was scored a low 12/35 for its "how British is a British film" this is because of its  location it was set and not actually having much to do with being British. This film was mainly to do with America, it was set there, it was located there and all the cultural practitioners.


An old school way to tell if  a film was British or not was to go through this check list, the film had to meet at least 3 out of 6 on this list to be classed as a British film:

  • A British director (e.g Charlie Chaplin, Ridley Scott, Danny Boyle) 
  • A British producer (e.g Tony Scott, Kieran Evan)
  • A British production company 
  • A subject matter that informs on the British experience
  • British identity defined by the BFI in 'sight and sound'
