Taking inflation into account?
Just looking at the gross in the UK, or worldwide?

There are many things that can, and often should be, considered which is probably why there's not just one table giving the results

There are some tables and lists at the BFI Screenonline site that may have some of what you're looking for. I don't think that Mr Bean gets a mention in any such lists.

I should imagine the Harry Potter films rate highly in the list of top grossing films - ever.
For what its worth 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' was the highest grossing film in Australia over the last 12 months. It took in $35,725,071 nationally.

Interesting to note that the worst decade in terms of British produced films was the decade in which those with political control knew the price of everything and the value of nothing.
All the best

This chart is probably closest you will get:

Top 100 admissions

According to that, top 10 British film are:

1) Spring in Park Lane (47)
2) The Wicked Lady (46)
3) The Seventh Veil (45)
4) The Full Monty (97)*
5) The Third Man (49)
6) The Blue Lamp (50)
7) Doctor in the House (54)
8) Fanny by Gaslight (44)
9) Piccadilly Incident (46)
10) Carry On Nurse (48)

*produced partly by Channel 4 but funded by Fox

I omitted film like Harry Potter and 007 which were filmed in England but produced fully by Amercan company.
