10 Important Films

[Freesolo]

In no Particular Order my favorite movies

1. Trainspotting. Danny Boyles early work and one of the greatest British movies ever made. This movie made the careers for most of these unknown actors

2. The Hustler. A absolute masterpiece Great acting performances and cinematography. George C Scott steals the show for me



3. Aliens. My Favourite Sci-Fi movie ever made in 1986 was way ahead of its time



4. Das Boot. its not often you can sit through Nearly 5 hours of a movie without getting Bored, the tension in this movie is almost palpable



5. Fight Club. A complex movie with great performances and one that for most has to be watched again to be understood



6. Thief. One of Michael mann's early movies and in my opinion James caan's greatest performance



7. Goodfellas. A dark scary and violent trip into the world of the Mafia and a true masterpiece



8. The 39 Steps. Hitchcocks early work and another British classic, I can remember watching this with my Gran when i was a wee nipper it was her favourite film and has always stuck in my memory



9. The Secret in Their Eyes. This movie blew me away the first time i watched it and is my favorite foreign film

Most British black and white crime films and Ealing comedies.

 

I haven't been to the cinema for 27 years.

Well DT, the bad news is that these days it costs about a tenner, they don't play the Pathe News, there is no B movie on before the main feature and they don't play the National Anthem at any stage.

 

The good news is that if you think that a "3D" film is basically the same as a normal film, but with a red and blue line around some of the stuff on screen, a film at the IMAX 3D would make you think you've taken magic mushrooms.

 

Oh, and the adverts before the film are a lot bettter these days - no longer do they show still photos of local shops and resturants whilst playing a wobbly soundtrack.

Part III is the best one. No idea why it gets so much bad press.

Part ||| is a brilliant film in it's own right.

1 Godfather

2 Star Wars

3 The Good, Bad and the Ugly

4 The Matrix

5 Predator

6 Pulp Fiction

7 The Usual Suspects

8 The Crying Game

9 Heat

10 Dumb and Dumber

I'd bet that you were born in the 80's?

[Carl the Llama]

It's hard to just stick with 10, but here goes:

 

1. Jurassic Park. Spielberg's greatest attempt at drawing you into a state of wonder and fascination.

 

 

2. Jurassic Park.  Probably Sam Neill's greatest on-screen performance, taking you into the world of a grizzled zooarcheologist and his battle against the inane babble of children (I'm looking at you, Timmy).

 

 

3. Jurassic Park.  Few films prove the old adage "never work with animals or children" so marvellously wrong.  The adherence to the script from the dinosaurs particularly impressed.

 

 

4. Jurassic Park. In a world where our cinemas showcase increasingly corrupt morals, it's nice to look back and see a major film which teaches you the importance of saying please.

 

 

5. Jurassic Park.  T-Rex, bitches.

 

 

6. Jurassic Park.  The lawyer dies hiding in a toilet. I'm sure there's a metaphor in there somewhere.

 

 

7. Jurassic Park.  Kids can be annoying little shits.  Sometimes it's nice to see one get electrocuted.

 

 

8. Jurassic Park.  Samuel L Jackson is a very selective actor and as such has only appeared in a small number of films which are all excellent, so it's good to see him get a bit of screen time here.

 

 

9. Jurassic Park.  This film taught me that hacking is simply the ability to use an obscure operating system.

 

 

10. Jurassic Park.  GYAA-AA-AA-AA GYAAA-AAA-AAA

Fight club nearly made my list.

Great ending, which makes you realise you've just watched a completely different film than you thought you had.
