I’ve watched so many great films…I’m not sure where to begin. I’ll try.
SOME COLOUR FILMS:
I'd have to mention Krzysztof Kieslowski's films, especially 'The Three Colours Trilogy' with 'Blue' and 'Red' being my favourites. Juliet Binoche could have played an influence in my choice of ‘Blue' over ‘Red’ though.
‘Blade Runner’. It may not be the best film in the world but it certainly always comes to mind, so it must have left an impression on me.
‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’. Fantastic acting from Newman and Taylor.
‘Pulp Fiction’. So refreshing at the time.
‘The Good the Bad and the Ugly’. Ice cool Eastwood and ice cool music.
‘The Horseman on the Roof’. Could be because of Binoche again!
‘Labyrinth’. Haunting.
'The Scent of Green Papaya'. Beautiful, gentle film.
'The English Patient'. Quality film and quality music.
SOME BLACK AND WHITE FILMS:
‘To Have and Have Not’. If only for the dialogue between Bogart and Bacall.
‘Some Like it Hot’. Seen it too many times to get excited about it now, but a classic.
‘Random Harvest’. If you need to shed a tear, but can’t find any other way because you’re the hardest man on earth. This will do it!
‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf’. Fantastic acting from Burton and Taylor.
Any of the 'On the Road' movies with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.
I’ll probably think of a few dozen more after I finish this post. Isn’t that always what happens!
