British Films

It has come to my attention that there has been a strong decline in the variety of British films shown at cinemas, typical period dramas such as 'Pride and Prejudice' (2005) and more recently 'Young Victoria' (2009) appear to be produced by the major Hollywood production companies such as Universal and GK films. At the moment apart from a few exceptions (This Is England, 2006) the British Film Industry as a whole is struggling to break free from the US/Hollywood. However, with the success of 'Slumdog Millionaire' at the 2008 Oscars which was produced solely by British companies, Celador Films and FilmFour it has broken the mould to an extent to what British made movies can achieve and in what quantities.
