The Hill

 

[PaulMB]

And that Tag watch!

A bit massive, though. The new "Monaco" is even bigger. What I liked was the hat the Porsche team manager wore. Any idea what it is called? Cotton trilby, perhaps? I'd want it without the Porsche logo, of course.

The Hill

Sean Connery? Good film, gritty realism.

 

[Big Tabs]

Gold Diggers Of 1933

The Maltese Falcon.

Gold Diggers Of 1933

couple of my favs.

Watched the Maltese Falcon recently, really enjoyed it, superb cast.

The Outlaw Josey Wales, finest Western ever made, Clint Eastwood at his best and the rest of the cast were superb notably Chief Dan George.

 

[Mullardman]

All Quiet on the Western Front

In The Heat of the Night

Inherit the Wind

 

[Big Tabs]

[Joe Hutch]

I remember lying on a hotel bed in a seriously post-prandial state many years ago - around thirty-five probably - watching a midnight movie called Joe MacBeth (Macbeth set in the ‘30s US underworld) and wondering how I could be hallucinating so badly as to imagine the Banquo character was being played by Sid James.

I saw that many many years ago at university. As part of our drama course we were shown lots of film versions of Shakespeare's plays, some good, some less good, and some, like Joe MacBeth, that were just plain weird. There was another film of Macbeth made a few years back which was set on a Birmingham housing estate (and titled 'Macbeth on the Estate', so it does what it says on the tin).

The Night of the Hunter, Charles Laughton's masterpiece.
The Longest Day.The Duke.
The Killers. Marvin at his menacing best.
Radio On-off beat one this staring Sting...

 

[Stunsworth]

I’ve also watched a lot of Sellers’ films on Talking Pictures recently. Odd how his work splits into pre-Britt (great) and post-Britt (mediocre.) Puts me in mind of someone else.

Rod Stewart?

Edit: It's just occurred to me that's who you were probably referring to.

 

[Marchbanks]

The Killers. Marvin at his menacing best.

“I think you ought to know I’m feeling very homicidal.”

 

[waxkinglyrical]

The Night of the Hunter, Charles Laughton's masterpiece.

Really good movie, read the novel by Davis Grubb too, Mitchum just great in this as were the child actors, the cellar and river scenes, very much a poetic masterpiece.

 

[Mullardman]

Dunno if I'd count it as 'great' or 'classic', but for sheer entertainment 'Big Wednesday'.. best surf film I've seen.

 

[clifftaylor]

The Third Man, for many reasons, mainly the photography.

 

[matt j]

I quite liked 'Breaking Away', another odd late night/random find.

 

[Joe]

I am, for no reason I can explain, inordinately fond of Hobson's Choice.

 

[Woodface]

All Quiet on the Western Front

In The Heat of the Night

Inherit the Wind

Hard to argue with any of those.

Dunno if I'd count it as 'great' or 'classic', but for sheer entertainment 'Big Wednesday'.. best surf film I've seen.

It is a great film, no argument allowed
