Favourite Films

Good choice of film none the less, i reckon its worth watching just for the banjos, personally.

Musn't forget The Usual Suspects. One of the best endings in any movie...as all the pieces fall into place. A bit like the end of The Illusionist in a way.

Ahh yes, that is a great one.

Another weird comedy that I just love is Wilder Napalm.

The original Blues brothers

• The Conversation
• Naked
• The Ice Storm (based on a Rick Moody novel - great writer)
• The Birds
• C'est arrivé près de chez vous (Man Bites Dog)
• Casino
• Heat
• Goodfellas
• Wonder Boys (Michael Chabon's novel's great too. And when he's in the mood, Michael Douglas is superb. Weird actor. Never a so-so performance. He's either really bad or fantastic.)

And obviously any of the "Die Hard" flicks. Boys will be boys!

"L'age d'Or" of Luis Bunuel: a must see(n) for surrealism lovers. Dali (co)wrote the script.

A bit arty farty and it is B&W. But what a masterpiece.

I'm stunned no one has mentioned the Godfather; ALL of them. Now that's the best trilogy of all time. For a horror flick, see the remake of The Thing with Kurt Russel.

Edit: I see Alan did mention the Godfather I and II.
