Why do British - England movies look dull/hazy and not crisp and clean like Amer!
Question: They always have a dull look and I know immediately they are from England. I would assume everyone uses the same camera's to some degree to make films. Why the different looks?

the budget for the films are totally different in america they have millions and millions to film
in england not so much
still are english films are fantastic we do some top films like the bank job snatch lock stock and two smoking barrels
Could be the weather.
They've always looked just fine to me.
Cause english films set out to look more realistic.
I don't think that they have a dull look, there is some amazing English movies out there.
When movies are glamed up Hollywood style, with millions more invested into production, and a lot of the scenery looks fake, lots of cgi with too much lighting cast on the actors, of course they are going to appear more "clean and crisp".
I disagree totally. You clearly haven't watched any good quality British films.
I much prefer British movies.
You certainly aren't watching the films I have. The UK has brilliant, amazing cinematographers who have given the world many wonderful images, including "Black Narcissus", considered one of the most beautiful films ever made. I could name hundreds of phenomenal films.
I have no idea what you have watched, especially what time period they are from. Depending on the year of release, you might find that other countries' films have the same look. In the earlier days of movies, filmmakers had to struggle with many elements~from the quality of celluloid to the complex equipment needed for clear images and sound.
So, tell us the titles of these "dull/hazy" films. It might give us an idea of what you're talking about. You'll find just as many films from elsewhere that might seem "dull/hazy". Watch "Detour", a low-budget b&w which has a grainy image at times and troubles with sound. Yet, it's a classic film noir. Budget and technical capabilities are two powerful factors in filmmaking.
When you see these films, take the time to find out when they were made and any special circumstances. A quick visit to IMDB will do that. Don't categorize a country's films.
I have no clue but I too can tell when it's a film from England! And the sets look like if the person in charge of them just tossed them together at the last minute. That and sometimes for British films/shows, British accents are difficult to understand.
