    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!

    Not anymore? Did you get burned out on it? I have the bad habit of overwatching movies that I enjoy until I'm sick of them.

    If you're a Tarentino fan you should check out Ed Wood (if you haven't already) and then, of course, Plan 9 From Outer Space

    it keeps changing
    like a moving target

    when you think you like a movie because you like the actor, then that actor throws a cellphone at a reporter, or worse, makes a political ranting, then i don't like that movie anymore....

    I love Paul Newman, and I tried really hard to like this movie, but my brain kept screaming "HE'S GAY! PORTRAY HIS GAYNESS OR ITS ALL RUINED!" I liked the acting, but not the story adaptation.

    I love movies. I can't pick a favorite, so my top five aren't in order.

    1. Breakfast on Pluto
    2. Invasion of the Body Snatchers
    3. Cool Hand Luke
    4. The Breakfast Club
    5. Lolita
