Enter the prize draw for the chance to win the comprehensive Vintage Classics collection – the very best British films on DVD.
We all love pulling the curtains and settling back on the sofa to enjoy our favourite films. And while Hollywood may provide most of the flashes, bangs and wallops on the silver screen, many of the films that remain truly etched in our memories – and the collective British consciousness – were made on these shores.
From wartime stiff-upper-lippers and witty social satires of the 1950s to the darkness and cynicism of Swinging Sixties cinema, these films not only delight and entertain us; they often tell us who we are and how we got here.
