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.

    • Thanks for these responses. Yes, Cllr Browning & Cllr Hartley did a door-knocking exercise a couple of months ago. It was Maggie Browning who knocked and I told her that I'd had radio silence from Jon Hartley. She looked embarrassed but not surprised. I have spoken to him since, only after writting to Ellie Reeves, our MP about it his lack of response. He agreed to address the issue I asked about but I've not heard from him since. It's really not acceptable for an elected Councillor to consistently ignore his ward constituents. Since it's clearly not a one-off, I'm gonna pick this up formally. I'll let you know how I get on...
    • If memory serves, Labour under Corbyn got more electoral  votes than Labour under Starmer. So I'm not sure how you can call that being "unelectable"? Under a different and fairer electoral system Labour would have won. I see moves are afoot to bring in such a different, fairer system, presumably in the hopes of stopping Reform winning next time. BTW there was a mass exodus from Labour  by  the local (East Dulwich) Labour party members when Corbyn was kicked out by Starmer. It isn't just Islington who doesn't want to support  a right or centre right Labour party.
    • Is this the new shop next to Dulwich Tandoori? is it actually open and if so has anyone tried them.
    • It was The Brickhouse - we liked them and it was very sad when they had to close
