Your top 10 films

My favourite two films for years were always Fight Club and American History X. I can't really think of ten definitive favourites, but The Damned United, LOTR and Star Wars will be in there somewhere. There are too many great films that I've not watched though.

It's interesting to think about & it occurred to me when I was thinking about my own list, is all. Cinema's 'male gaze' is well documented and I do think people should take a moment to think about the lack of diversity in what they are watching, or reading, or playing on a regular basis.

You really beat yourself up about being a white male dont you CED...why dont you become a black trannie then you might finally find peace :-)

hmmm I'm fairly sure we've done this a few times before, my list should be fairly similar to last time

 

King Kong (1933)

 

Vanishing Point

 

Casino

 

Alien

 

A Field In England

 

This is England

 

Fargo

 

No Country For Old Men

 

The Deer Hunter

 

The French Connection

 

 

I do appreciate that's quite a vanilla and blokey list, but it is what it is.

Glad to see so many people have selected Goodfellas.

 

 

In no particular order:

Goodfellas
Die Hard
Black Hawk Down
Tomorrow Never Dies
Goldeneye
The Great Escape
LoTR: Return of the King
Saving Private Ryan
Godzilla (the 1998 American version - don't hate)
Star Wars Episode III

I've probably forgotten some though.


Bond fan?

 

 

Definitely - seen them all at least once and quite a few of them many times. If I were to list my top 20 there'd probably be 4/5 Bond films in there.

Me too :) I was arguing with myself over putting a few Bond films in..! I might need to make mine a list of 20 I think :)

I would never claim to be a film buff, I've got Casino, I could just as easily have gone for Goodfellas but didn't think there was room for both.

 

Similarly, I've got Deer Hunter but not Full Metal Jacket and King Kong but not Un Chien Andalou which had a massive massive affect on me when I first saw it.

 

A bit uneducated when it comes to film.

Narrowing it down to ten is tough made even tougher having read two and half pages of this thread.

 

I'd go:

 

Godfather

Shawshank Redemption

Rocky

Forest Gump

Raging Bull

Goodfellas

Gladiator

Saving Private Ryan

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

Green Mile

 

Just outside would have been Scarface and totally out of place looking at that list but I find it hilarious National Lampoons Vacation.

Un Chien Andalou is the batshit surrealist one with that eye scene isn't it?

 

Only seen the one clip from that courtesy of a recent documentary. Is it good in it's entirety?

 

yeah it's the one with the eye, which was bad enough, but it was the piano scene that really did for me 

 

I was watching it over my nan's house when I was a nipper, I think she'd presumed a black n white film couldn't be that bad!

 

nightmare over that for years

If you go down the IMDB list of top 250 there's quite a few i'd give 9/10 - 10 for. 

 

 

If we put as much into space exploration as entertainment and spent as much money on it as on country defence budgets, we'd have definitely colonised Mars by now.
