In the Sunday Times of 10th October 2004, Jeremy Clarkson wrote an article entitled "Call that a list of best films?" discussing a recent
magazine list of the top ten best British films - which to say the least disagreed with Jeremy's own top ten. Starting with his premise

Of course I know these surveys are supposed to prompt debate down at the pub. I know that listing the top 10 coolest windmills and
the top 10 zaniest animals are all meant to be the start of an argument, not the end", the article then goes on to list Jeremy's top
4 British films - with the remaining 6 left as an exercise for the reader - down the pub of course!
Rising to Jeremy's challenge, I've put together my own
list of the top ten English windmills...
likewise designed to prompt dicussion, and not to be a definitive list.
