3. Blade Runner
4. The Deer Hunter
5. HEAT
6. Unforgiven

I appreciate the challenge of selecting a top ten.

Here goes.

This isnt in concrete order.



The Taking Of Pelham 123

The Godfather

North By Northwest

The Godfather II

Pulp Fiction

Vertigo

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

The Thirty Nine Steps

Star Wars

Duel

Honourable mention-Casino, This is Spinal Tap and the Hunt For Red October.




Hope this generates a bit of chatter.


Duel is an absolute classic. Speilberg has never manipulated the audience in such a way since.

Buddyrich - an interesting list...I need to watch Vertigo again having found it tedious the other week.

percy toboggan
22-Mar-09, 08:50
Scanning other slists I now realise there are some that could wasily have made my own top ten.....

Road to Perdition / Pulp Fiction / Taking of Pelham 123/Spinal Tap etc.
all brilliant movies and so many good films here.

I just didn't 'get' 'Withnail' though...though I wanted too - bought it. Will have another look perhaps.

I don't get African films either like 'Last King of Scotland and 'Hotel Rwanda' I have them here but just can't relate to 'em.

Like Perce I agree that 10 is such a difficult limitation - this list (apart from the top few) changed so often during compliation, and I was gutted to have to leave out some, IMHO, very worthy classics, however here goes...

Bladerunner
Shawshank Redemption
Men of Honour
Gladiator
Bourne Trilogy (Yeah I'm cheating too lol!)
chain Reaction
Bicentennial Man
Field of Dreams
Knight's Tale
The Associate

But I also can't resist pretty much any Disney / Pixar kids films too - they're just soooo watchable :D

How about a top 10 by genre instead - that might give us enough choice!!!

Percy t is right though 10 just isnae enough.
Particular mention to the spaghetti westerns,star wars trilogy(the originals),most pixar's,the marx bro's.
In fact i could be here all night,even if ye wanted the best 100 films i'd still have a load to add at the end.

Some films i'll watch just because of the director,luc besson,quentin tarrentino,george lucas,ron howard.

Or even the score e.g. ennio morricone.
