Hey, welcome to a little blog about British Directors, their films and even a little quiz to keep you on your toes :) Enjoy!

Quiz time :)

Right lets test your British movie knowledge :) AND NO CHEATING! :P

Part 1

1. Who directed Trainspotting?
2. Kevin Macdonald directed which film - Last King of Scotland or The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button?
3. The Eagle premiered at which British festival?
4. Which British director filmed Sweet Sixteen?
5. Mike Leigh directed which feel good film starring Sally Hawkins?

How do you think you did? Suprisingly most people won't have done to well on their own knowledge and would have to look things up on IMDb, or Wikipedia. Now try Part two :)

Part 2

6. Cillian Murphy starred in 28 Days Later and Sunshine by which director?
7.Which British actor starred in Hannibal?
8. Well known in the movie industry this British actor has starred in films ranging from Thunderbirds and Sherlock Holmes to Schindler's List and Oliver Twist. Who is he?
9. The Star Wars Saga, and The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy are massive franchises, which British actor has had the luck of starring on both?
10. Again, Harry Potter is a massive franchise, along with Sweeny Todd and Planet of the Apes being well received films, which British actress managed to get a part in all of these?

I can guess that the actor questions were a lot easier to answer of the top of your head than the director ones. It's not that I expect everyone in Britain to be well up on their knowledge of directors, but without them we wouldn't have the amazing films that we have today. They deserve some credit at least. So next time you watch a movie, take a minute to glance at who took their time to make it for you, it will only take a second :)
