The British film-making partnership of Michael Powell (1905–1990) and Emeric Pressburger (1902–1988)—together often known as The Archers, the name of their production company—made a series of influential films in the 1940s and 1950s.
 —24 films between 1939 and 1972—were mainly derived from original stories by Pressburger with the script written by both Pressburger & Powell.
 Powell did most of the directing while Pressburger did most of the work of the producer and also assisted with the editing, especially the way the music was used.
 Unusually, the pair shared a writer-director-producer credit for most of their films.
 The best known of these are "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" (1943), "A Canterbury Tale" (1944), "A Matter of Life and Death" (1946), "Black Narcissus" (1947), "The Red Shoes" (1948), and "The Tales of Hoffmann" (1951).
The United Kingdom has had a significant film industry for over a century.
 While film production reached an all-time high in 1936, the "golden age" of British cinema is usually thought to have occurred in the 1940s, during which the directors David Lean, Michael Powell, (with Emeric Pressburger) and Carol Reed produced their most highly acclaimed work.
 Many British actors have achieved international fame and critical success, including Maggie Smith, Michael Caine, Sean Connery and Kate Winslet.
 Some of the films with the largest ever box office returns have been made in the United Kingdom, including the second and third highest-grossing film series ("Harry Potter" and "James Bond").
