Top 5 favourite films?

pentameter · 09-11-2007, 07:59 PM

The Terminator
Das Boot
Rebecca
Casablanca
Breakfast at Tiffany's

There should really be an Ealing comedy in there somewhere:
Passport to Pimlico, The Ladykillers, The Man in The White Suit..... Kind Hearts and Coronets.

Fellini - Satyricon, left an impression.

Being There.

A Fistful of Dollars - broke the mold with Westerns.

2001, Bladerunner, Silent Running..........

I'll stick to the first five I mentioned.

Favourite TV show at present is one I am trying to find to watch from archives about two cabin crew called ''High life''. It is a very funny comedy.
