Terry Gilliam's films leap to mind; especially Brazil and Time Bandits...

Pitch Black not British

Looks Like Pitch Black (2000) is Australia & USA, Funny it Seemed like a British film.

Great suggestion. Fantastic, odd sci-fi with a great performance by Jeremy Irons.

It's really annoying that this hasn't been released on DVD yet. Fairly surprising since Soderbergh has become a pretty popular director.

I still have my VHS of it but I might breakdown and get the R2 version.

A Clockwork Orange
The Man Who Fell to Earth
Lifeforce (very atmospheric and somewhat unique in tone)
28 Days Later
Village of the Damned
The Day of the Triffids
Quatermass and the Pit (damn creepy and exceedingly well made)

BTW, were not the Hammer Studio films all British? Christopher Lee had a career off of them.
