As critic McDougall (2008) states there are various 'official' ways of categorising British films. The most common is through using the following categories defined by the BFI (British Film Institute):
Category A: Films made with British money, personnel and resources.
Category B: Films co-funded with money from British and from foreign investment, but for which the majority of finance, cultural content and personnel are British.
Category C: Films with mostly foreign money (but non USA) investment and a small British input either financially or creatively.
Category D: Films made in the UK with (usually) British cultural content, but financed fully or partly by US companies.
Category E: US films with some British involvement.
