There's a good thread with a wide variety of opinions. Some that I'd highly recommend:
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Lock, Stock and Snatch (perhaps)
Millions
Trainspotting
Layer Cake
The Wicker Man
Withnail & I
Naked
Secrets & Lies
Some of Hitchcock's earlier work
Only Two Can Play
Zulu
The Long Good Friday
The Third Man
A lot of Kubrick's films...
A Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
Dr. Strangelove
Some of Gilliam's earlier stuff (Brazil, in particular)
..just a small but varied sampling for you. There have been a lot of good movies to come out of Britain.

Lock, Stock and Snatch - Both were ok and actually the ones that I thought of when I said I didn't hate all of them. Also thought About a Boy was good but not great.
Trainspotting - Didn't like. I love Requiem and heard this also talked about but it didn't do it for me.
The Wicker Man, A Clockwork Orange, Brazil - didn't like any of them. Actually all were highly praised and that is why I watched them but didn't like them (in fact hated The Wicker Man).
Millions is on my list b/c it was on Ebert's top 10.
Hated Bend it Like Beckham, The Full Monty, Chocolat, Dear Frankie, and Billy Elliot. 28 Days Later started strong but then just sucked. Didn't like most of Hugh Grants films.
I may put a few of these on my list that I haven't seen after doing a little research on them.

I plan on picking that R2 up-thanks again.

No. When I interviewed Simon Pegg in 2004 he said he and Edgar Wright would be writing a graphic novel follow-up, "From Dusk 'Til Shaun."
The next movie Wright and Pegg are doing together is Hot Fuzz, a parody of police/crime movies.

On the Spaced Out website they mentioned that casting extras for Hot Fuzz is going on now and on IMDB is says filming starts in March. So it's possible it could be released late this year or more likely sometime next year.
