Don’t Look Now, the 1970’s film starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie has been voted the best British film of all time . The top 100 list was compiled by 150 actors, directors and producers including Wes Anderson, Ken Loach and Sam Mendes for Time Out London.
The film revolved around a couple, having lost their child, who take a trip to Venice. When there the husband, played by Sutherland, starts to see a mystrious figure roaming the streets dressed in a rather unsettling little red coat.
Other titles in the list included The Third Man, Peformance and Danny Boyle’s 1995 movie Trainspotting.

I could not agree more with this list! Don’t Look Now is a masterpiece and Julie Christie a dream!
I also love Darling very much! And The Go-Between, should have also been included, being one of her best British films, and, a great, almost magic film! I also love The Red Shoes, and,Distant Voices,Still lives!, and of course, The Third Man, which i interestengly always believed to be an American film,maybe because of Cotten,and Welles,of course, and, i would call Trainspotting the hit movie of my generation, while,i’d add a few on the list before the still unraveling,Performance!Love all it is in this list,anyways!!
