This article is devoted to the analysis of national concepts and conceptual spheres of the British and American language picture of the world based on the material of movie titles of 1990-1995. Modern linguistic research pays great attention to the phenomenon of the concept: its definitions, features, and different approaches to study. National concepts contain linguistic, extralinguistic and socio-cultural significance, and are a way of uniting people around their cultural values and moral ideals. Thus, in our scientific research, some of them were identified and analyzed, for example: "family", "American dream", "gentleman", "knight".
