Five British film you thought were American, and five American movies you thought were British

The article explores how films can seem British or American because of their settings, casts and styles, even when their production or filmmakers come from the other country. It argues that the overlap between the two industries, and British actors’ ability to play American roles, can make national labels easy to misread.

Its examples include five American films often mistaken for British, such as *An American Werewolf in London*, *The Princess Bride* and *Oppenheimer*, and five British productions that may seem American, including *Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri*, *Cold Mountain* and *Moon*. The article points to details such as *The Princess Bride* being filmed mainly in England despite its largely American cast, and British director Paul Greengrass shaping the style of *The Bourne Supremacy*.
