I missed Casino off my list ffs.
|
|
By:
HRH i was thinking looking at it, that it is the oonly one i havent seen
at 20 years only, understandably, ill make sure i watch it one day |
|
By:
Every straight blokes top ten films should contain at least one Paul Newman film - it's the law!
|
|
By:
Gary - it's a courtroom drama, black and white and almost entirely dialogue, but is completely compelling.
|
|
By:
i is a shakin boss
|
|
By:
Good list Eboue.
I must admit to preferring Goodfellas to Casino. I'd have to find room for Sleepers and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas too. |
|
By:
and possibly 'A Few Good Men' too.
FFS this is hard! |
|
By:
One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest
Schindlers List An American Werewolf in London Good Will Hunting Pet Sematary |
|
By:
sea of love would be in my list as would love honour and obey
|
|
By:
goodfellas is 14th in that list
The Dark Knight is the dodgy one of that top 10, only being that high because of the death of Heath Ledger HRH - i cant say im to inot B&W films, but i watched Schindlers List the other day which was superb |
|
By:
I've never seen shindlers list.
Good will hunting a great shout sonko. Probably makes my top 11. |
|
By:
redbag - good man! Sea of love is my favourite Pacino film! Didn't think it would come close to a mention elsewhere!**Barkin is sexy as hell in it too ;)
|
|
By:
my top 10 in no paricular order
Life of Brian Dumb and Dumber Trainspotting One flew over the cuckoo's nest Pulp Fiction Goodfellas The Sting Grapes of Wrath 2 others |
|
By:
Pacino has done so many great films.
Scent of a Woman is bloody good viewing too. |
|
By:
Eboue if you like watching the all time great films, then its definitely worth watching
|
|
By:
In no particular order
Gladiator Aliens Godfather II Godfather LOTR One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest The Shining Life of Brian The Producers Jaws |
|
By:
dangerous liasons is a good'un
|
|
By:
i do like Al Pacino, brilliant in the Godfather
|
|
By:
was my fav film, i was the first to laugh, in the cinema where i watched it
|
|
By:
Anyone seen Carlito's Way? A bit cheesy but Pacino great in that too.
|
|
By:
One that I don't think has been mentioned that would be in my Top Ten -
Midnight Express,at the time was No1 for me. |
|
By:
its not in the top 250, and i havent seen it, so cannot comment
|
|
By:
Well worth watching Gary.
|
|
By:
Can't believe it ain't in the 250 tbh.
|
|
By:
i know when i was looking through it, there was a few films i couldnt believe where out of the top 250
midnight express though got a rating of 7.6/10 which is still pretty good 7.9/10 completes the top 250 |
|
By:
Great Film. Infact a classic.
By the way, there is not 4 o's in 'Cookoo's' ( Cuckoo's ). Your speling is rerally bad. get it sorted ! |
|
By:
Midnight Express is a good film and based on a true story. Unfortunately the filmmakers decided it would be better to change the end.
|
|
By:
Back to the Future and Mannequin would make my top 10, I was young and impressionable at that age.
Life of Brian still leads the way although I can't think of a definitive top 10. |
|
By:
very hard getting a top ten but here goes in no order
this is spinal tap empire strikes back superman usual suspects one flew over la confidential the departed godfather shawshank redemption goodfellas but that could change by tomorrow |
|
By:
this is spinal tap
shawshank redemption goodfellas casino midnight run gran torino the hunter it's a wonderful life pulp fiction let the right one in Dave - some good choices on your list, mate |
|
By:
