La Haine you dozy fools, La Haine!!
also The Conversation is a personal favourite.
and Arsenic and Old Lace, mainly for Peter Lorre's brilliantly unhinged performance 😀
Not seen some of these, ta.
🙂
Everything by Hitchcock, but North by Northwest just for Cary Grant's suit.
Anything by Powell and Pressburger, but A Matter Of Life And Death is perfect.
All the Ealing stuff, all those WW2 propaganda films like Went The Day Well?, The Cruel Sea, In Which We Serve.
The Leone/Eastwood stuff.
Randomly,
Two Lane Blacktop.

In Bruges.

In Bruges.
One of the best recent films I've seen, absolutely a modern classic.
And "The Guard" by the same director (and also starring Brendan Gleeson) was even better IMO.
Groundhog Day
Debbie Does Dallas
Bad Wives 2
The Devil in Miss Jones
Which reminds me, An American Werewolf In London.
The Guard is fantastic.
🙂
In Bruges gets the nod purely for the line 'Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf..'.

I'd like to rewatch Ghostbusters, Airplane and The Blues Brothers, but I'm a bit worried that they might not have aged well..
Oh, Show Me Love is a bit of a gem.
Classic teenage angst stuff, but really well done.
I'm surprised it's not had the Hollywood remake treatment yet.
Classic: judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind
for me...
The Holy Mountain
Solaris (the original version)
Enter The Void
All staggering odd but great. And brilliantly re-watchable.
Bubba ho tep?? Crazy film!
Yup that's the one.
Also add Robocop (original) to the list
Tampopo
Eat, Drink, Man, Woman
Delicatessen
I'd like to rewatch Ghostbusters, Airplane and The Blues Brothers, but I'm a bit worried that they might not have aged well..
they've not done too badly, actually!
In fact I think Airplane in particular has aged brilliantly. Still hilarious, absurd and stupid 😀
also: Dog Day Afternoon. banger.

+10! I can still hear the sound of that Dodge. Classic in every sense.

The Haunting (1963)
The Innocents (1961)
A Chinese Ghost Story
The Tenant
Repulsion
Suspiria
pulp Fiction , best film ever
Another vote for In Bruges , best film of the last few years
Shallow Grave , another classic .
Ramsey Neil
pulp Fiction , best film ever
Please stop.
Another vote for In Bruges , best film of the last few years
....wait. What?,No.
Just calm down.
Wolfcop
Machete Kills Again
@ JimJam Just my opinions , Pulp Fiction is usually up there in the lists of best films ever . Perhaps you are the one that needs to calm down . What , in your view is the best film ever ?
PSA: The Deerhunter is on ITV4 at the moment
Feeling festive yesterday and watched Gremlins for the first time in about 15 years
Awesome - nothing beats hundreds of Gremlins in the cinema singing along with the seven dwarfs!! 🙂
Requiem for a Dream - brutal but fantastic
Desperado - Salma Hayak.... 🙂
Into the Wild. Stunning film
Ramsey Neil - Member@ JimJam Just my opinions , Pulp Fiction is usually up there in the lists of best films ever .
"Pulp Fiction is the best film ever" and "Pulp Fiction is my favorite film" are two very different statements. I would certainly read a well thought out argument as to why someone thought it was the best film of all time but I don't think it's even in the top 100 best films of all time.
Perhaps you are the one that needs to calm down
Invariably.
What , in your view is the best film ever ?
I'm not sure. I think Akira Kurosawa is the best film maker who ever lived and most of his films are masterpieces. Sanjuro is my personal favourite, but Kagemusha or Seven Samurai are more impressive films. I'd probably pick Seven Samurai.
