Sure name them, as long as they are not copy protected.
These are for private viewing I presume, I would never break the law or anything like that.
Not too many, the more you pick the longer it will take me to get around to it.......... oh and some of them are UK format, do you have a region free player.

Though I wouldn't know why anyone would need such free software to back up any movie they might own...

Absolutely couldn't be buggered to dig through the list so far............
What about "An Everlasting Piece" (something like that...)
With Billy Conolly (Duh....) about a wig salesman in NI.
Funny.

Re: Brit Films for when I feel Homesick...
Spent a small fortune on Amazon buying up Brit dvd's sometimes because I miss the UK but mostly because American tv is so piss poor 
So here goes ...
The Italian Job (yes the original.....its such a shame we have to qualify that )
Zulu
Black Adder
Only Fools and Horses
Snatch+Lock Stock
School for Scoundrels or How to Win Without Actually Cheating! (yes original !!!)
Porridge
Auf Wiedersehen Pet (surely the best mix accents on any tv show)
Phoenix Nights (especially for the views of Rivington and Winter Hill...plus the humour of course)
Lavender Hill Mob
Passport to Pimlico
Royle Family
oh! Mr Porter
Wallace and Gromit
...and a sprinkling of Carry On films

I too discovered Cracker the series recently and agree it's some of the best television I've ever watched.

Re: Brit Films for when I feel Homesick...
Watched 'a good year' and while not an English film, thought it portrayed the love/hate relationship we have with the French well, and sort of had me homesick for France!!
