How about the newest "Sherlock" series, (you can find it on Netflix.) It's a mofdern day Sherlock Holmes, set in London, UK. Modern speech as well, with very understandable accents.

The Italian Job (1960s version).

Which British accent? There is not 'a' British accent, there are many. Scottish, Welsh, Geordie, Cockney, Liverpudlian are all different and quite distinctive. I don't know much about IELTS, and perhaps the test would be read by someone with a 'standardised' 'Queen's English' voice, but that is actually an artificially contrived subset of British English.
There are thousands of movies. My suggestion would be to look for movies that suit you, so that your learning is more positive. If you like action movies, you are more likely to listen and learn watching that sort of movie, than if you watch a 'frock flick'.
TV shows would be another option. 'Coronation Street' is usually very verbal, and would widen the range of accents you are exposed to too.
