Top 10 British World War II films ranked and Bridge on the River Kwai isn’t No 1

There are hundreds of World War II films and many of the very best are about the part the British played in the fight against Hitler.

Film fan website IMDb has ranked the Top 10 British World War II films of all time and it turns out that The Bridge on the River Kwai didn’t make it to No 1.

Check out the full list below, which includes a couple of joint productions with the Americans, but they still count because of the focus on British involvement in history’s deadliest conflict.

7. Dunkirk (2017)

Christopher Nolan’s World War II epic recreates the British evacuation of Dunkirk in June 1940, as the Nazis advanced through France. Starring an ensemble cast including Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance, Michael Caine and Harry Styles in his film debut, the movie focuses in on the perspectives of the land, the sea and the air across a week, a day and an hour. Filmed on the actual beaches, Dunkirk was nominated for eight Oscars and is considered one of the greatest war films ever made.
