The Third Man
The Man in the White Suit
Dr. Strangelove (clearly the better film, and I am baffled at why this would be any less British than A Clockwork Orange  )

Well... American actors, American setting. ACO is quite clearly a British film. Most people wouldn't guess that Strangelove is a British film without knowing it.
ACO is probably Kubrick's "most British" film (or Barry Lyndon).
Of course, it all just boils down to how you look at it. |

Peter Sellers isn't British? Peter Bull?

Sigh... yes, the Peters are British. The other four lead actors are American.
I really shouldn't have had to point that out.

But the point is that you have a mixed cast, with the lead (playing the 3 major roles no less) being British. The film was made in Britain at a British studio. All of the reference works I have call this a British film. I just don't understand the reluctance to consider this a British film.
I guess the Good, the Bad & the Ugly must be an American film, after all the 3 leads are all Americans.
