Barry Lyndon (1975)
American or British?
I'd add that and other Kubrick films to my list, but I always have that dilemma with his films: he's American yet so many of his films were made in Britain and have a British "feel" to them. Technically, The Shining is British too (most of it was filmed in England), but it's American at the same time (some outdoor scenes were filmed in the US, American lead actors, etc.) I err on the side of caution. -

yes, it's a good question. Kubrick was born in America but moved to England in 1961 where he remained for the rest of his life, so i do consider him a British filmmaker after all, much like Roman Polanski, Billy Wilder, Alfred Hitchcock, Ernst Lubitsch etc making American movies even tho they were all born in Europe.
as for Barry Lyndon, it was shot in Ireland, England, Scotland and Germany, not a single location was in the US, so…

Well, Hitchcock was technically a US citizen by the time he made Frenzy. Not sure if Wilder or Polanski ever became citizens (Polanski's citizenship has been long-revoked obviously, if he ever had it). I think Herzog lives here now too, if I'm not mistaken?
Personally, I'd determine it more based on where it was shot and who financed it than the director's nationality.

yep, which makes Barry Lyndon a British production then.
