Rosemary's Baby

The Graduate

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

From when Blondie fires the cannon to when Tuco is opening Arch Stanton's grave, is the best background music in any film ever in human history, has the potential to put hairs on the beck of your neck even after you've seen it 100 times.

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.

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 :calmdown: Smashing when you're 15.

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.

Aye when they're all singing playing the flute. 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 :calmdown:

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 :calmdown:

 

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

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.

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.

You've got me humming Hearts On Fire here.
