75 Four Weddings And A Funeral 1994 - Estimated Admissions 8.81m
Hugh Grant is at his bumbling best in this feel-good farce about whether or not to tie the knot. British filmmakers showed Hollywood how to do romantic comedy and Oscar nominations followed. As of 1999, it was the highest-grossing British film in cinema history with worldwide box office in excess of $260 million. Ironically, it was made for so little money that the production team couldn't even afford to film the Scottish wedding in Scotland.

74 Oliver! 1968 - Estimated Admissions 8.9m
Much loved adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel about social injustice amongst Victorian London's street urchins. Little Oliver Twist is famous for asking for "more", and that is certainly what legendary Brit director Carol Reed gives us in this film - 153 minutes of elaborate sets, knees up choreography, memorable songs and lively characters.

73 Rebecca 1940 - Estimated Admissions 8.9m
Alfred Hitchcock's first Hollywood feature (and one of his best) is a disturbing, deeply psychological retelling of Daphne Du Maurier's melodramatic best seller, the story of a young woman's marriage to a handsome, wealthy and troubled Cornish landowner, Maxim de Winter. Nominated for eleven awards, the film won the Best Picture Oscar in 1941.

72 Bambi 1942 - Estimated Admissions 9m
Buy your inner child a front-row seat and don't be embarrassed to wallow in the unashamed sentimentality of one of Disney's best-loved and most finely drawn animations. Using the cycle of the seasons to tell the story of a fawn's adventures from babyhood to full-grown deerdom, it pulls no punches in telling young children how life is. Birth, death and man's inhumanity to animals - it's all here.

71 The Big Country 1958 - Estimated Admissions 9m
William Wyler's dramatic 1958 Western stars Gregory Peck and is made in the very grandest of styles. Jack McKay (Peck) is the gentleman from the East Coast who proves that a man doesn't always have to act tough to be tough. The film also features a small appearance from Charlton Heston, who went on famously to star in Wyler's next film, Ben Hur.
