British films is not my forte, not because I don't love them, but somehow I need to strain more to pull the great ones out of my memory. British cinema can be extremely proud of their achievemnts.

Your list is excellent, and I just have a couple of things that should get perhaps honorable mention.

But David Hugh Johns should be there for his Betrayal.

How about Jonathan Glazer? His first film Sexy Beast was tremendous.

I think Lynne Ramsay also deserves credit for her Ratcatcher.

I would keep Greenaway - it is your list and you love him... Yes, he lacks some good taste in the sense of not knowing where to stop, but some of his images simply stick in one's mind forever. He is not a great director per se, but tremendous image maker.

And thanks for Losey!!!

How about Ken Russell? I think we are already off the Ten Best list, but so what, som many great ones there!
