The Observer has just assembled one of the more interesting lists I've seen in some time — a collective of the 25 best British
films of the
last quarter - century, compiled from the votes of
over 60 critics,
film professionals and assorted outside voices, ranging from Ben Kingsley to Peter Morgan to our friend Anne Thompson.
Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who portrayed Harry Potter in the
film series, was paid approximately a
quarter million dollars for the first Harry Potter
film, and twenty - five million dollars for the
last Harry Potter
film; not a bad salary increase
over a decade's worth of work.
