Biographies of Top British Actors
The British film industry has continuously gone through boom and bust periods, with the high of the sixties followed by the low of the eighties, and then by a revival in the nineties. It has always had a bit of an identity crisis, as it has inevitably responded to influences from abroad, particularly Hollywood. Despite this, it is very well respected around the world, and has been responsible for some of the greatest films ever made. For example, The Thirty-Nine Steps (1935), Brief Encounter (1945), The Third Man (1949), The Bridge over the River Kwai (1957), Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Get Carter! (1971), Chariots of Fire (1981) and Trainspotting (1996), show that the industry has produced great films throughout the decades. Over these years there has been many great British actors and actress, and Anthony Hopkins, Judi Dench, and Michael Caine are certainly some of the greatest.
