The Best English Films Of All Time

Disclaimer- This is a simple, informal and unofficial list of the best English-language films right from the beginning of the time. I would like to make it clear that these are the films that I have seen so far and there are so many films that I could have added. But my problem is that at time I simply don’t feel like watching films, thus shrugging at all the recommendations that people make to me.

So, here I am, trying to compile a list of the finest English-language films I have seen and I suppose that the list could be, in real terms, larger than what it is below. There are possibly many more films that need to be watched and there are so many fantastic directors coming to our attention. But while I am being insular, in settling for only the films I have seen yet, I think that this list is also endowed with some truly stunning gems and some others that I have simply chosen out of blind love and adoration.

Here we go then…..and your suggestions are always welcome…..
