Thoughts /tv/
it's not
because brits are superior to americans
Nope
I'd say British actors are superior but British films are pretty awful
Talking about shit like King's Speech and Philomena
It's not, Brit cinema is irrelevant
Brit TV is amazing though
It's better cause there are less jews but then there's also less money.
>>67604646
it really isn't
t. brit
Name just one movie made by brits. I cant think of a single one
>>67604646
Britain churns out much less shit.
Because we're more focused on making films instead of large dark phallus.
>>67605014
Harry Potter?
James Bond?
>>67605014
Um, fuck, I know this
Austin Powers?
>>67605075
2 VS 99999 American movies we can anme
>>67604646
nah
our comedies are better though
>>67604646
No Capeshit
It's only America which makes that garbage
>>67605090
>Austin Powers?
That's an American production and Mike Myers is Canadian.
>>67605014
Brits have made some damn good movies anon
Still, the idea of their films surpassing American cinema is ridiculous
>>67605093
because Quantity = Quality
those are franchises anyway you pillock, thats a lot more than 2 films
>>67604646
It used to be, I wouldn't say so anymore
Britain used to make DANK war films (battle of Britain, Zulu, Dambusters, Bridge too far, Longest day, etc.) But now all the make is really faggy and/or old people movies about hotels in India being bought by rich people or some crap
>>67605075
both made by American studios you dumb cunt.
try again.
>>67605135
Brits made like 2, maybe 3 movies and that was 50 years ago.
Today the only movies are made by Americans because we have freedom of speech. You idots still have a Queen.

>>67605157
James Bond is made by Eon Productions, a British production company. It's filmed at Pinewood Studios, a British studio. A British studio where many Americans go to film their films.
>>67604646
Fuck off back to
>>>/brit/
Where you belong.
>>67605157
ok erm Trainspotting? Children of Men? 28 Days Later?
It all boils down to this though for the most part:
Brits are better infront of the camera, Americans are better behind it.
>>67605201
Far more than 2 or 3
Powell and Pressburger? Hammer Horror? Brit Cinema used to be pretty based in the few decades following WWII. It's shit now though
>>67605014
cornetto trilogy
28 days later
trainspotting
snatch
dog soldiers/the descentyou will never fight off werewolves with spoony
for some reason our culture is obsessed with chavs so theres also 10000+ movies about council estate scum
This is definitely not true but maybe you could say that the British school of theater is superior
>>67605346
The United Kingdom has made less than 10 movies all together. America has made over a million.
I quite liked Ex Machina in terms of recent British films. Was alright.
>>67605217
Your first gif was beautiful though. Are there any movies featuring a Vulcan blowing shit up?

Kubrick is American don't even try to claim his films, bongs.
>>67606191
Can Britain claim Alfred Hitchcock's American made films then? Kubrick lived and worked much of his life in the UK. He hated the American film industry and especially Hollywood, and decided to make his films in Britain.

Yea, but that's just because he was fedora-tier hipster.
The Shining was written, produced, and directed by Kubrick, and the studio that helped develop it was his own studio, and the distributor was Warner Bros. Same with Barry Lyndon and Full Metal Jacket.

Great Britain is the name of the fucking island. That means that you can be as much of nationalist Scot or a proud Welsh sheep shagger as you want, you'd still be geographically British.
It has nothing to do with the UK, Scotland, England and other political/national denominations.
I'm not even from there and I know that.
>>67606951
Yes, his family were Bailiffs for the Angles in Wales, even before the Norman Conquest in the 11th Century.
So initially outsiders, yet they've spent over a millennium in Wales. If James Joyce is considered Irish and not French, then Bale could be considered Welsh.
Interesting technicality.

Far more literate (or at least they were once) and a greater amount of quality control (at least in selectivity).
Lancashire has the greatest authors in film and television history. Robert Bolt, Philip Mackie, the Shaeffer brothers, etc. etc. etc.
BBC's The Cleopatras, The Caesars, Lawrence of Arabia, A Man For All Seasons, Amadeus, and so on. Although Amadeus is a pretty crass entry next to the rest of them.

>>67604646
Pretty well established that UK actors are often theatrically trained and tour with Royal Shakespeare Company or similar.
US actors chosen predominantly on looks and acting ability is made up for by lots of action and camera cuts every 5 seconds.
Once that trick wears off though, or if you're looking for an older actor to do more than just be eye candy (perhaps to lend some gravity to a scene, for example), you realise how limited many of these actors are.
>>67607793
>>67605025
exactly, they churn out less shit. Hollywood is one of the most active film places. Sure you can say british AVERAGE is higher, because Hollywood makes so many movies that a good amount are going to be bad, but almost every single GREAT movie has come from Hollywood.
