I think the reasons fro having a British film industry is that they allow a film to get the first 25% of the profit to be tax free. This allows american films to make their film partly British and gain more profit then they would if it was american. The scripts are also all in English which allows most of the world to understand them as most countries have English as a first or second language. It is simply to make money.
