I’ve seen too many and it shifts, but…here’s the first 10 that come to mind that would be in my top 50…
Thin Red Line
Solaris (Tarkovsky not Soderberg)
No Country For Old Men
The Shining
Fight Club
Fargo
White (from the Tricolor films, Kieslowski)
The Decalogue
Wings of Desire
Paris, Texas
of course now, I start to think of series that are of the same caliber…
The Wire
Breaking Bad
Top of the Lake
The Sopranos
and more
Léon: The Professional 1995… a very memorable assassin film, in which assassin adopts girl Dog Soldiers 2002… British soldiers inadvertently face rampant werewolves in the Scottish Highlands All the brat pack films put together 1980s… is that cheating Fallen 1998… supernatural detective thriller involving Denzel Washington and an unforeseen cat Battleship 2012… the best alien invasion film imo, for the brutal alien WMDs alone Watchmen 2009… sci-fi at its kitschest retro best, done in the most fabulous of outfits The Great Wall 2017… East meets West, and together saves the City from the feeding vicious wild beasts The Watch 2012… a neighbourhood watch group v an alien invasion, whilst enjoying themselves far too much The Fearless Vampire Killers 1967… how to kill a vampire, without stoking up their enamoured bloodlust desires Resident Evil 2002… the highest-grossing film series based on a video game, having grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide.
A good film indeed… a desperate character, very well portrayed by Douglas.
I realised a long time ago, that I have a thing for films with a 70s retro soundtrack, or with modern songs of similar sound. It creates a party in my mind.
I’m not sure… I don’t like too much slap-stick a’la Monty Python, so maybe not, or maybe I have and I just don’t remember.
I’m a massive Marx Brothers fan, and have seen every one of their films… I adore Groucho and Harpo in equal measure, but Harpo is just so compelling to watch.
I think the 90s was the best decade for film.
My favorite 90s flicks:
American Beauty
The Big Lebowski
Natural Born Killers
Casino or Goodfellas
Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs
Braveheart
The Matrix
Terminator 2
Total Recall
A Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
Apocalypse Now
The Deer Hunter
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
Escape from the Planet of the Apes
Dawn of the Dead
Star Wars
Logan’s Run
Soylent Green
