"Nicolas Roeg&amp;#039;s Don&amp;#039;t Look Now has been named the best British film of all time. The 1973 thriller starring Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland topped a new list of the 100 Best British Films from Time Out compiled by 150 experts including Sam Mendes, Wes Anderson and Sally Hawkins. Speaking to Time Out about the accolade, Roeg said: &amp;quot;Well, it&amp;#039;s all very exciting indeed. It&amp;#039;s almost 40 years since I made the film now. It&amp;#039;s some time since I last saw it, but I see clips when I introduce it at festivals and it reminds me of that time and making it in Venice with Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie.&amp;quot; Of the famous sex scene between Sutherland and Christie, he added: &amp;quot;Sex, whether you like it or not, is the prime force of life. There is no other reason to be here. For me, sex is very rarely rude. It&amp;#039;s a fresh thing.  &amp;quot;I think people secretly connected to Don&amp;#039;t Look Now. Maybe that&amp;#039;s why, after all this time, people see the film more clearly. When it came out, audiences were less used to it. That scene would&amp;#039;ve been like someone bursting out of a cupboard and shouting &amp;#039;Boo!&amp;#039; The top 10 from Time Out&amp;#039;s 100 Best British Films is as follows: 1. Don&amp;#039;t Look Now (1973) 2. The Third Man (1949) 3. Distant Voices, Still Lives (1988) 4. Kes (1969) 5. The Red Shoes (1948) 6. A Matter of Life and Death (1946) 7. Performance (1970) 8. Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) 9. If... (1968) 10. Trainspotting (1996) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
