Film Description

Richard Attenborough's award-winning epic that recounts the life and times of Mahatma Gandhi and immortalises his spirit and message. Ben Kingsley plays the leader who, troubled by the unjust political system, encourages social change through passive resistance. When his subversive activities land him in jail, masses of low-skilled workers strike to support his non-violent, yet still revolutionary position. Renouncing the western way of life, and in spite of colonial bloodshed, the spiritual leader continues to preach pacifism until he has lead India out from under the tyranny of British imperialism.

BFI Top 100 British Films by MovieMail

In 1999 the British Film Institute surveyed 1000 people involved in UK film and television to create the BFI Top 100 British films made in the 20th century. Here is the result - each film here stands up to repeat viewings, and shows the incredible contribution Britain has made to cinema.

 

Mostly violent by User Rob

Many of this list are about violence. Violence is natural and has its uses, but it is mostly stupid.
