One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest

Brilliant film, the scene when they are playing basketball is great.

I wouldnt call it fashionable,just the story & the actors are top class.

Jack Nic at his best.

Yep, it's in my top 10

He's in my top 1.

great film in my top ten

It's the goddam world seereeeeez raise those hands.

michael douglas was the producer on one flew over, and wouldn't give his father the part, even though he played r.p on broadway, because he want jack, and his father wouldn't talk to him after it, right decision obviously.

Jaxk was perfect for the role,the big red indian guy is also superb though great film

there is no negative thing to be said about this film, 10/10 no question. acting is some of the best ever, everyone is perfect. one of the few films to take the big 5 awards at the oscars. silence of the lambs did too.

Agreed

got to be up there with one of the best of all time

medication time

Just watched it, and have to say thoroughly enjoyed it

its ranked as the 8th best film ever on IMDB and rightly so

Class.

Great movie

Ken Kesey writ the book, him of the Merry Pranksters and the Acid test lot (1960,s)

..' hit me ...'

read the book. film is great but like 'em all, the book is better.

enjoy

dibble
did you enjoy No Country For Old Men. Filmed as if using the book as the script. Brilliant !

haven't read/seen it. will have to dig it out now :)

You wont regret it !

Has anyone seen no 4?
What's it like?

Shawshank is a great movie but nowhere near the best ever.

number 4 is the good the bad and the ugly.

It might be the good, the bad and the ugly.

Aah, thank you. Yes, of course.

Sorry, didnt see your post Dragon, but this as someone posted is the top 10

ive only recently watched the Godfather Trilogy, bloody superb it is

thanks jo seen them all except the latin sounding one, in fact ive never heard of it

The best 2 films ever made.

Godfather and godfather 2.

Not even up for debate imvho.

Dragon, Number 4 is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly with Clint Eastwood

All superb Films Eboue, 1st is defo my fav, with Marlon Brando and James Caan

I watched The Godfather again last night, and will watch the 2nd one again tonight. Absolute genius.

godfather two is way superior to one imo

Apocolypse Now deserves a place on that list IMO

agreed redbag

As does The Deer Hunter

Nah, the first Godfather**es on the 2nd. The 3rd is also good as a stand-alone movie but will always struggle in comparison with the other 2.

Redbag, i think 50% of people prefer the 1st and 50% prefer the 2nd, but no one can deny, both two of the best films ever


Apocolypse Now 35th on the list btw

Whose 'list' is this ?

thanks gary

its my list ;)


no its the Internet Movie Databases Top 250 list

heres the link if you want to have a look

http://www.imdb.com/chart/top

Good shout facts

And I would also have Taxi Driver on the list. Perfect cinematogrophy in so many ways.

thought godfather three was a letdown compared to the other two

they seem very male typeof films if you know what i mean, i dont think many of them would bein most womens top 10

is once upon a time in america on the list?

agreed dragon

i think Bridget Jones Diary is top of theirs ;)

:D

followed by dirty dancing FFS

taxi driver 39th

one upon a time in america 91st

ghost is another one

I'd have Tombstone on my personal list but that's just me. ;-)

Have you younger fella's watched 12 angry men from that list? If the answer is "no" then make sure you do. Laughable that something that is hype over substance like Pulp Fiction is ranked higher.

My top ten

1) Godfather part 2
2) Godfather
3) Goodfellas
4) Gladiator
5) The good the bad and the ugly
6) The Pianist
7) Pulp fiction
8) Empire strikes back
9) The fellowship of the ring
10) Robin hood prince of thieves

HRH, yes that would be higher on my list.

good list eboue except

4
6
10

10) has a special place in my heart.

I was obsessed with the film in my younger days. I've probably seen it more than 50 times :^0

I missed Casino off my list ffs.

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

Every straight blokes top ten films should contain at least one Paul Newman film - it's the law!

Gary - it's a courtroom drama, black and white and almost entirely dialogue, but is completely compelling.

i is a shakin boss

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.

and possibly 'A Few Good Men' too.

FFS this is hard!

One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest
Schindlers List
An American Werewolf in London
Good Will Hunting
Pet Sematary

sea of love would be in my list as would love honour and obey

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

I've never seen shindlers list.

Good will hunting a great shout sonko.

Probably makes my top 11.

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 ;)

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

Pacino has done so many great films.

Scent of a Woman is bloody good viewing too.

Eboue if you like watching the all time great films, then its definitely worth watching

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

dangerous liasons is a good'un

i do like Al Pacino, brilliant in the Godfather

was my fav film, i was the first to laugh, in the cinema where i watched it

Anyone seen Carlito's Way? A bit cheesy but Pacino great in that too.

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.

its not in the top 250, and i havent seen it, so cannot comment

Well worth watching Gary.

Can't believe it ain't in the 250 tbh.

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

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 !

Midnight Express is a good film and based on a true story. Unfortunately the filmmakers decided it would be better to change the end.

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.

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

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

actually i cant believe it, but i forgot the sting, i'll take out the departed and put in the sting,
great to see midnight run getting in there

"i see you're still spending all your money on clothes"

Das Boot
Oldboy
The Lives of Others
Once Upon a Time in the West
Cinema Paradiso
Midnight Cowboy
Sideways
Broadway Danny Rose
Apocalypse Now
The Deerhunter
The Vanishing
Godfather 1&2,
Manhattan
Annie Hall
Grosse Pointe Blank
Jean de Florette/Manon Des Sources

WHERE IS THE THIRD MAN IN ALL THESE LISTS FFS???

In my top 3 of best films ever. Any adult not having seen it should be shot at dawn IMO.

The Godfather Part II
The Godfather
The Usual Suspects
Casino
Cidade De Deus (City Of God)
LA Confidential
Taxi Driver
The Insider
Glengarry Glen Ross

And then tied tenth, Stand By Me and Anchorman. :-)

some list

why the feck has no1 mentioned full metal jacket pls?? :|
platoon another corker

Not one Cagney film?

The Public Enemy (7.8 imdb)
The Roaring Twenties (7.8 imdb)
Angels With Dirty Faces (7.9 imdb)Key Largo
White Heat ( 8.1 on imdb, but I can't see it on the list. )

All classics

Key Largo (with Bogart and Edward G Robinson, 8.0 imdb)

These should all be very high on the list of any true film fan ;)

one flew over is indeed one of the all time greats, but what a shame that the not disimilar, tho almost as absorbing KPAX is so under rated when comparing the two.And spacey is in his own way just as good as nicholson imo.
