A particularly harrowing tale of homelessness and hedonism.
Probably not to everyone's taste but if period/historical is your (vintage Gladstone) bag you should try:
Far From the Madding Crowd (the 67 version - wonderfully atmospheric)
The Charge of the Light Brigade (68 - deeply flawed but oddly enjoyable)
The Go Between (71 - sublime)
Probably more Franco-British (and with American leads) but as it was Ridley Scott's first film I'd also nominate "The Duellists". Napoleonic period-correct uniforms and fencing add up to a sumptuous dollop of eye-candy that doesn't really need a story or narrative (so he didn't really bother).
Also some good UK-cast early stuff from the American director Sidney Lumet. "The Hill" is great but the utterly bleak "The Offence" is IMO a stunner. Both feature Sean Connery and the latter proves, for me at least, that he was a great actor, given the right role.

The UK does produce many of the best actors and filmmakers in the world, they just seem to work better for the US film industry.

I guess that "Sporting Life" and "Saturday Night..." open up the whole "Kitchen Sink" genre and there are some great films to go at there.
