A recent conversation came round to the topic of my favourite films. After much thought, this is my list.
1. To Kill a Mockingbird - stays true to the book. Brilliant portrayal by Gregory Peck.
2. Das Boot - Does the book justice. Just as I imagined it.
3.Star Wars IV (new hope) - It was transformational for me.
4. Breakfast as Tiffanys - Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard were superb. Great Book and movie.
5. Gandhi - Ben Kingsley superb. Dickie Attenborough provides a sympathetic treatment of a difficult story.
6.Hard Boiled - A modern thriller. Chu Yuan Fat is very good. Comical as well. John Woo classic.
7. Godfather 1 or 2 - both were superb. Not 3. Goodfellas comes very close.
8. Porcco Rosso - Anything by Studio Ginobli should be on this list. This is my favourite.
9. How the West was Won - cannot think of a weakness. It had everything.
10.Good night and good luck. Great ensemble cast. Story is very relevant.
Others that deserve consideration; All the Presidents Men, Being There, Network, Syrianna, The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, Hondo,Shawshank Redemption, Iron Cross, Schindlers List, Chariots of Fire, Il Postino, Bambi, Toy Story, The Sting, El Mariachi, The Hurt Locker, No Country for Old Men to name a few.
