To celebrate we ask six actors and directors to recommend a London movie to watch now.

BFI Southbank
Formerly the National Film Theatre, this much-loved four-screen venue on the South Bank in Waterloo became the BFI Southbank in 2007. For film lovers who know their Kubrick from their Kurosawa, this is London's best cinema. 'London on Film' runs here until October 9.
