- DirectorFred ZinnemannStarsPaul ScofieldWendy HillerRobert ShawThe story of Sir Thomas More, who stood up to King Henry VIII when the King rejected the Roman Catholic Church to obtain a divorce and remarry.I have a thousand scenes of acting i will offer as some of the best but Paul Scofield is just unbelievably good!
If you have not seen this film and can forgive some very dated scenary PLEASE watch for Scofields performance alone. Just incredible!! - DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMarlon BrandoAl PacinoJames CaanThe aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.Many will go for the second and i can see why but for me the first with Marlon Brando and the young Pacino are just superb!
- DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsAl PacinoRobert De NiroRobert DuvallThe early life and career of Vito Corleone in 1920s New York City is portrayed, while his son, Michael, expands and tightens his grip on the family crime syndicate.possibly the greatest ending to a film and not bad throughout! The end always leaves me feeling sad
- DirectorSergio LeoneStarsHenry FondaCharles BronsonClaudia CardinaleA mysterious stranger with a harmonica joins forces with a notorious desperado to protect a beautiful widow from a ruthless assassin working for the railroad.My all time fav! And still can't believe i have a film with Bronson in my top 10 (first in fact) nevermind in my favourite hundred!
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsRoy ScheiderRobert ShawRichard DreyfussWhen a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Cape Cod, it's up to a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down.Watched a million times and still never get bored. Scheider was never better and Shaw is just mesmerising!
Even Scheiders wife and young child are great, especially the scene where the boy mimics his fathers action...just great stuff - DirectorRidley ScottStarsHarrison FordRutger HauerSean YoungA blade runner must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.For me the directors edition. And the multiple hours on the making of it is also amazing and gives so much more insight into the madness of Scott lol
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsJack NicholsonShelley DuvallDanny LloydA family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where a sinister presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from both past and future.Every scene could be captured and placed on a poster. Visually stunning and for me one of the best films ever. Sinister, funny, epic, operatic even!
Coldest scene for me...the "correcting" scene - DirectorMichael PowellStarsKarlheinz BöhmAnna MasseyMoira ShearerA young man murders women, using a movie camera to film their dying expressions of terror.The first modern horror film??
Brilliant stuff. Watch if you have not seen and do not be put off if you don't normally enjoy older movies. Its Class!! - DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsJohn GetzFrances McDormandDan HedayaThe owner of a seedy small-town Texas bar discovers that one of his employees is having an affair with his wife. A chaotic chain of misunderstandings, lies, and mischief ensues after he devises a plot to have them murdered.Love the pace, humour, photography and twists! Possibly my best Coen movie and love a lot of them!
- DirectorNicolas RoegStarsJulie ChristieDonald SutherlandHilary MasonA married couple grieving the recent death of their young daughter are in Venice when they encounter two elderly sisters, one of whom is psychic and brings a warning from beyond.One of the very few film that really creeped me out. Won't ruin the ending but wish they made films like this nowadays and i love lots of modern films....but they do not make them like this now! I dont care what anyone says.
A film that doesn't try and tie everything together neatly like most horrors/chillers/thrillers. A film that gives real respect to the audiences intelligence.
Donald sutherland face is so unique and expressive. Only he could have played this part IMO - DirectorWilliam FriedkinStarsEllen BurstynMax von SydowLinda BlairWhen a young girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life.For me my favourite horror upto half way point. Then still one of the best but for me the whole beginnings especially the scene with the statue, noise brewing and dogs fighting still gives me shivers!
Wonderful horror - DirectorJames IvoryStarsAnthony HopkinsEmma ThompsonJohn HaycraftA butler who sacrificed body and soul to service in the years leading up to World War II realizes too late how misguided his loyalty was to his lordly employer.Remarkable!
Two of the best in Hopkins and thompson. Brilliant directed and for me the saddest love story i have seen. - StarsDerek JacobiJohn HurtSiân PhillipsThe personal and governmental affairs of the Julio-Claudian dynasty at the beginning of the Roman Empire, as recalled by one of its rulers.Unbeatable!
Dated stages but who cares. You will never get that many great actors and actresses together again.
Sian phillips steals the show for me along with Jacobi at his finest - DirectorElia KazanStarsMarlon BrandoKarl MaldenLee J. CobbAn ex-prize fighter turned New Jersey longshoreman struggles to stand up to his corrupt union bosses, including his older brother, as he starts to connect with the grieving sister of one of the syndicate's victims.Wonderful stuff. If you have not seen, watch it...but only if you like to really watch a film carefully
- DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsJack NicholsonFaye DunawayJohn HustonA private detective hired to expose an adulterer in 1930s Los Angeles finds himself caught up in a web of deceit, corruption, and murder.
- DirectorMichael MannStarsWilliam PetersenKim GreistJoan AllenFormer FBI profiler Will Graham returns to service to pursue a deranged serial killer dubbed "the Tooth Fairy" by the media.The best of all the stories surrounding the DR. And while Hopkins is often sublime i do not think Brain cox could be bettered. He is understated and menacing without being monster like!
NOONAN has to be one of the greatest villains captured on film! Wonderful - DirectorFrank CapraStarsJames StewartDonna ReedLionel BarrymoreAn angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed.

Can't say i enjoyed it massively but if you have seen it you will understand. Nevertheless it has an honesty about it which is rare - DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTim RobbinsMorgan FreemanBob GuntonOver the course of several years, two convicts form a friendship, seeking consolation and, eventually, redemption through basic compassion.Seen it too many times now but as far as film making goes...pretty damn perfect
- DirectorGareth EvansStarsIko UwaisAnanda GeorgeRay SahetapyA S.W.A.T. team becomes trapped in a tenement run by a ruthless mobster and his army of killers and thugs.So far from being one of the better films on the list in many ways, but it blew my socks off when i watched it for the first time and i laughed throughout but more nervously than anything!
Loved it! - DirectorAlan BridgesStarsJames MasonEdward FoxDorothy TutinWhile Europe stands on the brink of World War I in Autumn 1913, Sir Randolph Nettleby hosts a weekend of shooting on his estate for European aristocrats.Great film that really made me think.
Its not complicated but it has some lovely understated layers to it all and of course MR Mason (and his voice) are pitch perfect - DirectorIrvin KershnerStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter the Rebel Alliance are overpowered by the Empire, Luke Skywalker begins his Jedi training with Yoda, while his friends are pursued across the galaxy by Darth Vader and bounty hunter Boba Fett.
- DirectorGeorge LucasStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherLuke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy from the Empire's world-destroying battle station, while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the mysterious Darth Vader.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsKeir DulleaGary LockwoodWilliam SylvesterAfter uncovering a mysterious artifact buried beneath the Lunar surface, a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins: a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer HAL 9000.
- DirectorMike HodgesStarsMichael CaineIan HendryBritt EklandWhen his brother dies under mysterious circumstances in a car accident, London gangster Jack Carter travels to Newcastle to investigate.Not in my top ten or so but such a class film!
Caine if great and so believable, you sense his cruelty, malice, anger, humour-everything!
The whole cast is amazing and the script wonderful.
SO NICE seeing an actor play a part that is believable rather than some Brad Pitt playing the role of hard man, which happens too often in movies today. Actors often seem to get parts based purely on popularity rather than being a great match for the part - DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsJeff BridgesJohn GoodmanJulianne MooreJeff "The Dude" Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.You either love it, don't get it, or hate it.
Love lermode but not sure how he see's this as one of their wacky films! Its all over the place, but thats part of the fun that the dude unravels it all at the dudes pace!
Another film where any scene could be a poster. Thats always a key to a true classic for me...that and good story, acting, films etc etc - DirectorMike NicholsStarsDustin HoffmanAnne BancroftKatharine RossA disillusioned college graduate finds himself torn between his older lover and her daughter.
- DirectorJonathan GlazerStarsRay WinstoneBen KingsleyIan McShaneBrutal gangster Don Logan recruits "retired" safecracker Gal for one last job, but it goes badly for both of them.maybe not a top ten but have enjoyed it many times over!
Great script, acting, neat little story and was a British film i think we really needed. Yes its another english crime film but the way it was delivered was refreshing, funny and unique enough to be remembered.
AND OF COURSE...THERE IS DON LOGAN! - DirectorDavid FincherStarsMorgan FreemanBrad PittKevin SpaceyTwo detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his motives.The film for me has a few issues but is undeniably good. Freeman great, and Pitt...actually quite good
Great story telling and as dark as you like! - DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMartin SheenMarlon BrandoRobert DuvallA U.S. Army officer serving in Vietnam is tasked with assassinating a renegade Special Forces Colonel who sees himself as a god.I personally liked the redux version also. Great great film! Brando worth the money for me
- DirectorMilos FormanStarsJack NicholsonLouise FletcherMichael BerrymanIn the Fall of 1963, a Korean War veteran and criminal pleads insanity and is admitted to a mental institution, where he rallies up the scared patients against the tyrannical nurse.Can't watch again i would think, but wonderful film in every way
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsRobert De NiroJodie FosterCybill ShepherdA mentally unstable veteran works as a nighttime taxi driver in New York City, where the perceived decadence and sleaze fuels his urge for violent action.What is there to say?
A film which should probably be in my top 10 but i think i watched it so many times it just slips out. I think this maybe because it has such a tense serious feel to it even though there is some great humour in it - DirectorJonathan DemmeStarsJodie FosterAnthony HopkinsScott GlennA young F.B.I. cadet must receive the help of an incarcerated and manipulative cannibal killer to help catch another serial killer, a madman who skins his victims.Jodi Foster is fantastic in the role of her life. Some great supporting roles. Hopkins is also great but now i have seen it many times i wish they had toned down his intelligence and observational skills, just to make him a little more understandable, but i still love it
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsJoBeth WilliamsHeather O'RourkeCraig T. NelsonA family's home is haunted by a host of demonic ghosts.Not one of the finest of all time BUT i just love the family dynamics. For once there is an adult couple that seem real and share silly moments together that feel natural. The first half is right up there and with exception of the corpses jumping out it is a great little film
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsMarilyn BurnsEdwin NealAllen DanzigerFive friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.I watched it too young as an upcoming gore hound only to find it was not that violent or at least gory at all, but it did leave a mark with me. The dinner scene was so uncomfortable and since then i have watched it several times and its more scary now i have children for some reason!
Great and brave film making - DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHarrison FordKaren AllenPaul FreemanIn 1936, archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is hired by the U.S. government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis can obtain its awesome powers.If you haven't seen it recently just go back and remind yourself about how good this film is!
in terms of action it barely stops and has buckets full of humour, violence, good characters and some really dark stuff for kids! - DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsBruce WillisAlan RickmanBonnie BedeliaA New York City police officer tries to save his estranged wife and several others taken hostage by terrorists during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles.I do not normally like Willis at all but the film is one of the best action movies i have seen and i don't enjoy too many pure actions films!
Rickman steals the show for me and gives it the edge it needs to make it unique - DirectorAng LeeStarsChow Yun-FatMichelle YeohZiyi ZhangA young Chinese warrior steals a sword from a famed swordsman and then escapes into a world of romantic adventure with a mysterious man in the frontier of the nation.blew me away with its visual effects and beauty, and a really touching love story, especially between yeoh and Chow
Now similar effects have been used over and over but when it came out it was so refreshing not to see CGI ruin a films beauty.
Loved it! - DirectorSam PeckinpahStarsDustin HoffmanSusan GeorgePeter VaughanA young American and his English wife come to rural England and face increasingly vicious local harassment.Have to been in the right frame of mind but if you are you'll know fairly soon into the film.
What i love about it is that it really challenges right from wrong, on a personal level. I wont spoil anything but there are a couple of scenes that cause me a real dilemma and i still question it every time i have watched it
One of the finest finales also!!! - DirectorMichael CiminoStarsRobert De NiroChristopher WalkenJohn CazaleAn in-depth examination of the ways in which the Vietnam War impacts and disrupts the lives of several friends in a small steel mill town in Pennsylvania.Kermode hates it...i love it! Since reading his comments i watched it again as i really rate his opinion but although i can see why people have a problem with it i just love the film for the 2-3 main parts and how they change from the other.
Great film making Kermode!! :) - DirectorJohn LasseterStarsTom HanksTim AllenDon RicklesA cowboy doll is profoundly threatened and jealous when a new spaceman action figure supplants him as top toy in a boy's bedroom.
- DirectorLee UnkrichStarsTom HanksTim AllenJoan CusackThe toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college, and it's up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren't abandoned and to return home.

I grew up with it and spent many days and nights over the years laughing with my brother and dad quoting scenes. We still do now and that was well over twenty years ago
Again, every scene could be a poster - DirectorFlorian Henckel von DonnersmarckStarsUlrich MüheMartina GedeckSebastian KochIn 1984 East Berlin, an agent of the secret police conducting surveillance on a writer and his lover finds himself becoming increasingly absorbed by their lives.

- DirectorJared HessStarsJon HederEfren RamirezJon GriesA listless and alienated teenager decides to help his new friend win the class presidency in their small western high school, while he must deal with his bizarre family life back home.One of those films that at the time of seeing could not have come at a better time.
Its not a top ten movie perhaps BUT at the time there were so many bad comedies that all made the same noises and followed the same pattern. This film was a cult movie and i loved it and the feeling that it evoked in me - DirectorJohn SchlesingerStarsDustin HoffmanLaurence OlivierRoy ScheiderAfter the shocking murder of his older brother, a New York history student finds himself inexplicably hounded by shadowy government agents on the trail of a Nazi war criminal who is trying to retrieve smuggled diamonds.Love this underrated film!
Olivier is the one of the finest actors of all time and he measures it perfectly here. Memorable scenes throughout and really missed the radar for many i think. Hoffman, Scheider and the rest are great
Watch it! - DirectorFred ZinnemannStarsEdward FoxTerence AlexanderMichel AuclairIn the aftermath of France allowing Algeria's independence, a group of resentful military veterans hire a professional assassin codenamed "Jackal" to kill President Charles de Gaulle.Zinnermann does it again! Great film and casting.

- DirectorPaul SeedStarsLiam NeesonWendy MorganJay HilalenWhen Martin 's adopted daughter is kidnapped from their English home by a mysterious figure from Ireland, Martin decides to go in pursuit and finds himself across the water exploring his own background as a Protestant in Ulster. The film is both a chase thriller and David Rudkin 's personal view of the situation in Northern Ireland.Wonderful movie and one of the saddest films i have seen.
Hopkins and the rest of the cast are spot on! There are silent layers here that are very subtle but powerful, for instance the depth and sense of responsibility Hopkins character feels to fill his fathers footsteps. Amazing! Watch it - DirectorOliver HirschbiegelStarsMoritz BleibtreuChristian BerkelOliver StokowskiFor two weeks, 20 male participants are hired to play prisoners and guards in a prison. The "prisoners" have to follow seemingly mild rules, and the "guards" are told to retain order without using physical violence.

- DirectorJohn G. AvildsenStarsRalph MacchioPat MoritaElisabeth ShueA martial arts master agrees to teach karate to a bullied teenager.Yes, its not exactly a top 20 movie BUT i grew up with it and i still watch it now and it still makes me feel good!
A great little movie - DirectorJuan José CampanellaStarsRicardo DarínSoledad VillamilPablo RagoA retired legal counselor writes a novel hoping to find closure for one of his past unresolved homicide cases and for his unreciprocated love with his superior - both of which still haunt him decades later.Loved the film. It has a few small issues and the ending was slightly telegraphed more that it should have been IMO, but really good movie
- DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsWilliam H. MacyFrances McDormandSteve BuscemiMinnesota car salesman Jerry Lundegaard's inept crime falls apart due to his and his henchmen's bungling and the persistent police work of the quite pregnant Marge Gunderson.One of my top 5 Coen movies, which is not an easy pick alone. Along with The Big L, Blood simple, Millers crossing, Barton Fink and No country for old men all fantastic

- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsRod TaylorTippi HedrenJessica TandyA wealthy San Francisco socialite pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of all kinds suddenly begin to attack people.maybe not his finest but a movie that i personally love and i find it more scary in many ways than any recent horrors (over the last 30 years!!)
