BAKER’S DOZEN: Quintessentially British


Films that are so British they cannot be set anywhere else but in jolly ol’ England. Looking for films that capture British life, customs, local quirks and accents. NOT biographies of famous Brits. No Harry Potter or fantasy/ sci-fi either.

Nothing more British than their "public" (private) boarding schools. Tom Brown, Flashman, etc
