But almost impossible to get hold of. For some reason the director had it withdrawn :shrug:

I've got the soundtrack on CD but the only dvd I've been able to find is ripped from a canadian TV broadcast - never bought because it looked dire quality. There were rumours that it would be re-released, but nothing yet.

Seen 2001 - the perfect sci-fi (well, Blade Runner came out on top in my list for sci-fi's). The other three I haven't seen, but are now on my list after checking their reviews in IMDB. (y)

Blood Simple is simply stunning, Dark Star a hoot and The Draughtsman's Contract strange and enigmatic with a great soundtrack!

Zulu
Guns of Navarone

Junglebook

Not really worth mentioning. Just like Chariots of Fire isn't worth mentioning - it's a given that they're timeless classics.

I mean, who hasn't seen Quad Bike Sluts 2? :exit:

Cheers Fletch, Yep Dark Star pointed me at that, also at play for 5.99.

It has been dispatched and I'm waiting for it to arrive :).
I looked for it for years, for some reason it was withdrawn and was unavailable. If you google there are loads of people trying to find it (as of a couple of years ago), then re-released just recently.

Well worth watching.


Whats the deal with the Shawshank redemption? I didn't think it was that good. :shrug: but loads of people rate it as a great film :shrug:

How about Jeunet (Amelie & Delicatessen)? or things by Tarkovsky? Or the Dogme group (eg Lars von Trier - Idiots etc)?

I'm quite surprised that a photography forum isn't throwing up more variety in terms of imagery and vision. There are some films with really astounding camera work. Where are the fans?

On the whole I think that 'mainstream' english language films are not terribly interesting - fine for chilling for an evening with a beer, but I think the european's are producing far more interesting stuff (although there is plenty of euro crap as well).
 
At any time I have about 50 movies in and out of my top 10.
These are are what came to mind now.

The Third Man
Seven Samurai
Citizen Kane
The Usual Suspects
The Matrix
Red River
The Maltese Falcon
The Mask of Demetrios
The Wild Bunch
Heat
 
Some of my favourite films, not in any order:

Leon
Se7en
Lock Stock
28 Days Later
A Bridge Too Far
Cool Runnings
Saints and Soldiers
The Bucket List
Casino Royal
Hot Shots
