Time Out 100 best British films
In February 2011 Time Out surveyed 150 film industry experts to produce its list of "The 100 best British films." Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now topped the list. An updated list was published in May 2021, retaining the same rankings but adding four films in place of Listen to Britain, Penda's Fen, I'm All Right Jack, and School for Scoundrels.
