It may be cheating a bit listing Kubrick's entire oeuvre, but alas he made his main masterpieces there.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Blowup
Don't Look Now
Barry Lyndon
Naked
Secrets & Lies
Kind Hearts and Coronets
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
The Red Shoes
A Clockwork Orange
The Man Who Fell to Earth
The Third Man

Honestly, I haven't seen much of the more thoroughly British movies, the movies that weren't made by Kubrick, Lean, Powell, or Leigh.

The Wicker Man was pretty good, with a killer ending, but truncated.
