The UK in Hollywood

I think my fascination with the UK all started back when I was a kid. I'm not sure if it began with seeing the Beetles on Ed Sullivan or rather with the first time I saw Mary Poppins on the big screen. This point is still up for debate but I do love just about all cinema having to do with the British Isles. This past weekend's blockbuster was V FOR VENDETTA which was a fabulous movie until they blew up big ben.

I love www.netflix.com and I recently sorted thru the list of all the movies we've rented. Even I was amazed at all the UK related movies we've viewed. Here are some of my UK cinema favorites...
