15 of Our Favorite British Movies to Stream Right Now

"

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. 

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:
