Aye but you cant beat the likes of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, Black and white films at their best. Yeah. Undoubtedly geniuses in their fields, just never been my sort of thing though. In terms of humour, I've always gravitated towards the dark, twisted and downright stupid (Monty Python, Airplane etc...) "Shes a witch can we burn her"

Citizen Kane, Ice Cold In Alex , The Hill. I borrowed Citizen Kane about 6 weeks ago from a mate, and I still haven't watched it. Really must make the effort, because I know it's got a ridiculously huge reputation. Always had the pre-conceived idea that it was more of a techincal masterpiece (in terms of direction etc.), than anything else. I know my mate called it so-so. But I'll watch and judge for myself.

I suppose Citizen Kane is one of those films you must watch and make up your own mind. Ice Cold In Alex - superb wartime/desert drama with John Mills and Anthony Quayle. The Hill - Sean Connerys best film.

As we're a relatively young bunch on here, thought it may be a bit more of a challenge to come up with a personal top 10 on this subject. I've had to rack my brains to just about scrape together my list : 1. Eraserhead 2. Raging Bull 3. Schindler's List 4. Night of the Living Dead 5. Psycho 6. A Hard Days Night 7. Clerks 8. The Elephant Man 9. The Last Picture Show 10. It's a Wonderful Life Honourable mentions to 'The Man Who Wasn't There' and 'Manhattan' too. I'm sure that a few of you can shoot me down in flames on this one. Must confess that I don't really watch many movies made before the mid-60's. I think everything was a bit too safe and sanitised in Hollywood before the likes of Easy Rider and Bonnie & Clyde heralded that golden period when the directors called the shots in the industry. Schindlers list has colour in it! Not if you nip out for a piss at the right time!

Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?" "I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. ....a few of my favourites ;D
