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's

The Truth About Cats and Dogs

Ferris Buellers Day Off

Before Sunrise / Before Sunset

Charade

High Fidelity

Four Weddings and a Funeral

When Harry met Sally

Bridget Jones

Dirty Dancing


Basically 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.

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.

TBH I'm a big sucker for anything John Carpenter during his purple patch which pretty much ended there


Big 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.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition 
    • 'Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musical satirist of cold war era, dies aged 97' https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/28/tom-lehrer-dies-aged-97-dead-musical-satirist  
    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
