I think sometimes it's easier calling great films via actor or actress as opposed to thinking top 5 or 10.
Hanks Washington De Niro Pacino Hackman No leading ladies mentioned yet? |
|
By:
A Few Good Men is great. Got to be one of the most popular lines in cinema history.
Same with Goodfellas. ‘You think I’m funny’. |
|
By:
My fav Hackman film is Unforgiven.
|

By:
Don't worry kenbo, we'll forgive you, now tell us the name of the film.

I first saw Jack Nicholson in Easy Rider led by Peter Fonda. You could see he was different. He played a geek ( more or less ) who changed as he associated with the grass generation. Dennis Hopper in it too. Phil Spector. Pretty decent film. Showed in stark reality how the rednecks in the South simply hated anyone who looked and/or behaved differently to their narrow, prejudiced outlook. At least that’s how I remember it.

Good Will Hunting superb too. As with Shawshank the film title is a bit crap!

|
By:
The Green Mile. It was quite good.
|
|
By:
it's bl00dy brilliant s.kenbo, odd that you couldn't get into it. the last episode (5), the court scenes and flashbacks, is astounding work. Paul Ritter (rip) phenomenal work.

The Green Mile.

By:
Lassie Come Home a shocking omission
|
|
By:
Everyone says how good Chernobyl is. That’s why I’ve tried it twice. It’s good some of the best reviews you’ll see. I just couldn’t get into it.
The Green Mile is another Stephen King one the same as Shawshank. |
|
By:
Misery for a Stephen King hat-trick.

You mentioned age and I guess Chernobyl is in that spot for me as I was 11 when it actually happened. I recall it happening, in the news but of course the consequences went over my head. But I remember the era enough to know how authentic the production is.

Can we assume the original Superman, Star Wars and Back To The Futures are a given...

I was Seven at the time. Although I was aware of the word Chernobyl at the time, I didn’t have a clue what had happened.
|
|
By:
Bells/alarms etc; went off at Hunterston and kept doing so for days and they hadn’t a clue what was doing it.
  |
|
By:
It hardly ever gets a mention but Peter Seller's final film, "Being There" is truly a masterpiece.
|
|
By:
The green mile my top film.

One thing this thread is proving beyond all doubt is how listing "number one" anything in the arts is futile. What is it actually measuring? There can only be your own personal favourite and applying objective qualitative judgement by any other criteria is impossible. If it was measuring the film "listed by most people as their favourite", then OK, but so what? Plenty listed here that always turn up in any list of "greatest" films, but which I have detested with a passion, but that means nothing to anybody else but me.
