What our your top ten films of all time?

Nuns on the Run - nun leaping out of Mini Metro and yelling at lorry driver to “get out of the bloody way!!” :rofl::rofl:
A friend of mine hated that film because it’s so obvious that the main two characters are men in disguise, but for some reason I can watch it over and over and still laugh, absolutely brilliant humour!

It was one of the first Zombie films I ever saw and it remains an absolute classic in my view.I do like a good Zombie movie I have to admit...my favourite Zombie film of all time is George Romeros "Dawn of The Dead"...that film is truly something to behold.

Unfortunately for Romero, Sam Raimi dialled zombie films up to 11: "Groovy!".

I think Jack's even better in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' than he is in 'The Shining'.

Ah..Jack Nicholson. One of the true giants of American Cinema.He Is such a wonderful actor to watch and he always provides the cinemagoers what they want...great performances.My favourite Jack Nicholson films...The Shining, A few good men and one flew over the cuckoo's nest.
 
CliffH said:
Yes, very under-rated: I think he likes to play down his craft and pretend that it's just natural :rofl:.

I'm watching 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' atm: Paul Newman's another great actor who's skilled enough to 'disguise' his craft. He manages to convey sexual frustration very successfully despite the censorship issues 🙄.

Yes Jack did try to get the Monkees to act properly in this great cult movie...I don't think he succeeded but it's still a good film nonetheless.

Unfortunately their fanbase had virtually disappeared by the time the film came out and each member of The Monkees was fed up by then anyway, so hardly anyone saw the film at the time. Nesmith and Tork were musicians rather than actors in any case, so it's not surprising that they were hardly Olivier. However, 'A Hard Day's Night' had shown what was possible to achieve with musicians who weren't trained actors.

"A Hard Days Night"was proof positive of what you could do with musicians who weren't actors @CliffH...but then The Beatles(My favourite band of all time)were lucky to have an Oscar nominated screenplay from Alun Owen and a great director in the shape of a young Richard Lester at their disposal.
 
You know the bit in Pretty Woman where she says the car corners like it's on rails. Is this a good thing or a bad thing. I never know what people mean. Bugs me.

Our fave Laurel and Hardy is the jigsaw one. :rofl:
