[edit]This article says that Winston Churchill was named the Greatest Briton of All Time in a 2002 Poll. It does not say how a statue was built of Churchill after he attained this honour - this must have been the case, because at the time of the 2002 poll, it was said that the highest name on the "Great Britons" list would be honoured by having a statue built of him or her.

The Eagle Has Landed (film) - should it be included?
[edit]The inclusion of the film The Eagle Has Landed could be questioned. It is a tricky one (especially given how important Churchill is to the film's plot), but I suspect technically it should not be included in this list as the "Churchill" character is revealed to be an actor pretending to be Churchill while the real Prime Minister is at the Tehran Conference. Thus Leigh Dilley is actually not playing Churchill, but an impersonator and the real Churchill is not actually depicted in the film. Dunarc (talk) 21:43, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Significance of tv movies and cinema movies
[edit]we need to separate the contents of the list of tv films, and also do so for the list of regular films, according to significance and according to those which focus on chirchill and which do not, with churchill as a brief cameo.
some of these movies are considered highly significant as depictions of churchill, and some barely spend more than one scene on churchill. i plan to separate the main lists using this criteria. i will leave this topic up in order to gain any comments.
