Since 1947 the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) have hosted the British Academy Film Awards in a ceremony roughly equivalent to the Academy Awards in the United States. The BAFTA Awards typically air several weeks ahead of the Oscars and often help predect the American award winners. The top British award is the BAFTA Award for Best Film of which, to date, sixty-six films have received this honor. Unlike its American counterpart, the British Academy Film Awards tend less often to give over to mainstream appeal and instead focus more closely on the artistry of the work. For that reason there are fewer instances of duds that haven't aged well, making this a stronger list of great films worth seeing.
