citizenED Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Gosh film buffs, never realised we had to defend our lists, but since the runes are telling me that "Crash" is not in the big league - I'm substituting it with "Amores Perros", and challenging anyone to snipe at that particular masterpiece.

lozzyloz Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Don't be intimidated CitizenED . . . but if you are going to make a change perhaps you'd reconsider Castaway :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3968-top-ten-films/page/4/#findComment-125967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiepanda Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 hmmm, I can see a bit of overlap of my favourites with Bellenden Belle, I make no claims that this is the list of best films ever, purely the films I enjoy the most and would happily rewatch repeatedly, and with that caveat here goes:-Breakfast at Tiffany'sThe Truth About Cats and DogsFerris Buellers Day OffBefore Sunrise / Before SunsetCharadeHigh FidelityFour Weddings and a FuneralWhen Harry met SallyBridget JonesDirty DancingBasically I'm an unashamed chick flick fan and a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn - in my opinion never been nor ever will be a film star more elegant and graceful than her.

citizenED Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hey, Loz you realise I am not talking about the Oliver Reed "Castaway" but the Tom Hanks "Cast Away" - yep, I know, stodgy Tom doing his thing, stodgily - but he did win a Golden Globe for Best Actor for it. Has it's flaws but a great film. The fact that no-one else has included "The Pianist" in their list makes me think that people are missing out on this gem.

lozzyloz Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 The Pianist is a great film. Just reminded me of The Piano Teacher which would get my vote too, although it didn't get a mention in TTT French Films.

mockney piers Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 TBH I'm a big sucker for anything John Carpenter during his purple patch which pretty much ended thereBig Trouble in Little China (1986)Starman (1984)Christine (1983)The Thing (1982)Escape from New York (1981)The Fog (1980)Halloween (1978)Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)Dark Star (1974) a couple of iffy ones during that period - made for TV biopic of Elvis anyone? - and even Ridley Scott can have a GI Jane you know, but not a bad run I'd say.

Jah Lush Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 To which I'll add Mona Lisa and Last Orders both of which had location shoots around East Dulwich and Peckham. The pub scene in Last Orders was filmed at The Wishing Well on the corner of Benenden and Choumert Road.
