I haven't seen them, what are they about?
Let me add another distinctively Bristish film:
"The Ipcress file", 1965, a spy story with Michael Caine,

...still legal tender...

 "The Ipcress file", 1965, a spy story with Michael Caine, 
I've seen a film with Michael Caine in it, and though he spoke a good RP
(maybe a little modified), he did seem to have some sort of other accent.
For example, "out" was [Eut], and "about" was [@'bEut], more or less.

"What meaning of this, Mitter Twain?" "I will tell you, Mr Wang, if you can
tell me why a man who possesses one of the most brilliant minds of this
century can't say his prepositions or articles"
(Murder by Death)

The Railway Children is simply delightful in all possible ways
and must be seen.
AGDO/TWT and ACS are the three "Wallace and Gromit" films. Surely
you've seen them? An inventor and his dog have very strange adventures
in stop-frame animation.
Brazil is a dystopian Terry Gilliam film. Some people think it's great,
and some hate it. It's worth trying it just in case you're one of the
people who loves it. It's a bit long.

Oltre a quelli indicati dagli altri, ci sono anche Notting Hill, Vera
Drake e Nicholas Nickleby.

Avevo dimenticato "Shakespeare in Love".  E' molto buono,
ma il linguaggio ovviamente non e' molto attuale.

Actually I was a bit disappointed by the Pythonian cinematic outcome, with
a few exceptions (the "Every sperm is sacred" song in "The Meaning of Life"
is hilarious, for instance...

 ) , while I savoured many
moments of Cleese's un-fawlty performance on the goggle-box. ;)

Not very British either, sweet Gwyneth being born in LA... ;)
I gather her "British" accent is quite good, though.

You want the 1970 version of "The Railway Children". The others are TV
series or made-for-TV movies.
The Wallace and Gromit films are actually only 25 minutes each. You can
get all three on one DVD.
Brazil isn't particularly Pythonesque. Haven't you seen any of
Gilliam's
other stuff such as Twelve Monkeys?

Sounds fine to me. And most of the people in the movie are British.
We could add the Branagh versions of "Much Ado about Nothing" and
"Henry V" to the list I suppose, but, er, ... the language is a bit
odd there too.

"I'll just put the kettle on" si sente spessissimo in "Vera Drake".

The Princess Bride (ottimo film. per lo piu', accenti britannici)

Oh, yes, and "The Fisher King", "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen", "Fear
and Loathing in Las Vegas"... they were good. :)

 L'altro giorno ho visto il film 'love actually', mi č piaciuto molto.
Anche a me. Ho pure la sceneggiatura, da qualche parte, comprata a Luton,
dove ho passato la notte, avendo perso l'aereo. 18 ore in aeroporto. E ho
letto tutta la sceneggiatura. :)

Australiana. Ma il suo accento inglese mi sembra perfetto in questo
film.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it
means.

 means.
Who? Me? What word?

I was responding to your quote with another quote. Inigo to Vizzini,
after Vizzini
has said "Inconceivable!" for about the tenth time.

Very good, as far as I can tell (I didn't find any American sounds); _far_
better than Julianne Moore's in "An Ideal Husband" (from the Oscar Wilde
play) and better than Annette Bening's in "Being Julia". Joseph Fiennes'
accent is also very good. Probably because, as far as I know, he's Irish,
so he wasn't biased: he just had to start from scratch. (smiling face)

The accent she uses in real life is not different from an English accent
(different from RP).

sempre mejo de quello de quello de Dick Van Dyke, a detta di alcuni.

Devi assolutamente vederla/sentirla in "The end of the affair".
Anche perché il film è molto bello.

Australiana 
peggio me sento. avete presente gli australiani dello sport
(motociclismo, specialmente) quando rilasciano le interviste?
ma n. kidman parla bene...molto bene. avrà fatto dizione.
Troy Bayliss, Troy Corser, Mick Doohan, etc...non si possono sentire.
L'australiano (senza offesa, è una mia sensazione personale) mi sembra
una specie di inglese britannico molto burino (paesano). Peggio del
gallese, che si salva.
Sensazione personale, eh...

I was responding to your quote with another quote. 
ROTF!! :-)))
Non c'č niente di peggio di uno che fa una battuta, gli rispondono con
un'altra battuta, e non la capisce!
:-)))))))))

Ah. Non lo ricordavo.
Sarà forse perché in Shakespeare in love ci saranno delle citazioni
precise precise dalle righe di Shakespeare...
Cmq non mi piace molto come film. Preferisco di molto, di moltissimo,
Sense and sensibility e The remains of the day. E About a boy, o
Nottign Hill.
Sono film che, ancor oggi, ogni tanto mi rivedo.


Ho gia' piu' o meno risposto altrove.
Comunque, sono tutti belli. Altrimenti perche' li avrei nominati?

 un'altra battuta, e non la capisce!
Actually I wasn't even sure he was talking to me, since he'd cut every 
reference to the message he was answering to... I felt a little bit like 
De Niro there.
