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. Ok, off the top of my head, in no particular order, here's mine. 1. Casablanca 2. The Maltese Falcon 3. The Third Man 4. Clerks (I love Kevin Smith - looking forward to Clerks 2) 5. Key Largo 6. Duck Soup 7. Nosferatu 8. A Day at the Races 9. It's a Wonderful Life 10. Eraserhead |

thinking about it, there are probably a few Hitchcock movies that could have quite easily made my list too.

I was going to say Clerks, possibly the best slacker movie. Who like Mallrats also though, critics hated it, but I love it.

Kevin Smith is probably in the running for my join favourite director with Lynch. I saw Clerks and got hooked years ago, then tracked down everything else... I love the way every movie reference characters in other movies with a knowing nod, plus they are laugh out loud hilarious. Did you ever see the short movie "Flying Car" that Smith did for The Tonight SHow or similar? If not look it up on YouTube it's well worth it. |

Ditto, my favourite too... at least I think it is - it's defintely the most watched of all his DVDs I own. |

I love the way every movie reference characters in other movies with a knowing nod, plus they are laugh out loud hilarious. Think my personal favourite was the debate over whether it was morally right to blow up the Death Star. Was it right to do so when hundreds of 'innocent' contractors were on it working towards its completion, or were the workers guilty by association with with Evil Empire and deserved what they got? Served 'em right, I thought! |
