Guest alex Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Yojimbo is class as well (basis for A Fist Full of Dollars). Obviously The Seven Samurai is more celebrated but it's hard work by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Like a bit of classic David Lean as well like. Great Expectations, Bridge on the River Kwai and so on. I used to love watching Oliver Twist at me gran's when I was a kid. On the subject of Paul Newman, I really like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. We had to watch it in A-Level English and I was the only one that liked it. In my top ten and got it for xmas after having had it on VHS for donkeys. The film's hardly good source material if you're studying the book like. Paul Newman actually better looking than Liz Taylor in the lead roles. I remember thinking that when I was reading it and I know Tennessee Williams hates the adaptation as well so it's a mystery why they showed it to us tbh. Probably to keep us quiet for a bit. And too rights on the last bit, I remember all the lasses fancying him after it. We got plenty of Liz Taylor when we watched Taming of the Shrew though. When she's got that corset on Smashing when you're 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't argue with a word of that. The bit where Tuco's getting weighed in by that big hairy gripper in the POW camp-genius counterpointing of violence and soft music. First time I'd seen that done though I'm sure someone better versed in cine history will tell me it wasn't a first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite bits of the film when Tuco kills him the fat bastard. You can't help but love Tuco so many contradictions from him. The bit where they're leaving the monestary where Blondie's been recovering they get on the horse, Tuco says to Blondie "he loves me brother he always says pop by for a nice bowl of soup", and Blondie gives a class smile cos he's just seen them knocking ten colours of shite out of each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5941 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Rocky - Must be one of the most aped films in history. Love everything about it. The Goonies - Loved it as a kid and still love it today. Must have seen it 100 times Terminator - Cos it could happen Notable mentions for Beverly Hills Cop, Big Trouble in Little China, The Warriors and a ton more that I can watch without ever getting sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 None of the Rocky films are in my top 5, but I love them all even 5 and 6. I'd say I've watched Rocky 4 more than any other film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5941 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Rocky 4 is class in the same way Aliens is class. But from a film making point of view the originals of both are untouchable. The fact that Sly wrote, directed and acted it make it even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Gone for 10 :/ must admit i love movies so too hard too choose and even this list, movies like city of god, the first batman, carlito's way scarface etc but these ones i'd watch happily over and over again. Platoon Back to the Future The Good The Bad The Ugly A Fistfull of Dollars Goodfellas Leon Godfather --my good mood movies The Princess Bride Goonies Ferris Bulleur's Day Off (just downloading The Searchers at the minute and the original True Grit) Just watched those two and the new Grit last week. Searchers is immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
