Thanks for the answer!! =)

So that, is it mean that just only the movie from UK is British accent?
and all the UK movie is talking in British accent?

Thank you~

95% yes, to both questions.

Sometimes US films contain attempted British accents, but they are usually terrible!

Learning through media (movies, music, etc.) is one of the best ways to learn a new language. The clips below will improve your listening comprehension skills, helping you to learn and practice English as spoken by normal people every day! These particular clips are from recent movies. Good luck!
