"There’s just something about a British accent that captivates the rest of the world. I mean, what’s more entertaining and precious than listening to Harry Styles give an interview in his adorable accent? Absolutely nothing.
If you’re looking for a fashionable holiday gift for any man in your life, you cannot go wrong with anything from Sézane’s men’s collection, Octobre Éditions.
In addition to being able to listen to fun accents for 1.5-2 hours, British movies provide us with endearing storylines that add something different to the Friday and Saturday night movie viewings that have become commonplace during this time. Throwing on a British flick as opposed to rewatching Bridesmaids for the 47th time is the perfect way to switch things up. You can even make it a themed night and accompany your movie with British-inspired snacks and drinks!
I asked our junior graphic designer, Leigh, who also happens to be our resident British TV and movie fan, to help me curate this list and ensure that I am including the best of the best. Check out these 15 British movies to stream right now:
