|---|---|---|
| 1 |
The Wicker Man 1974, R)
Home-grown horror thriller. Apart from some plot holes, it's tightly written with a standout performance from Edward Woodward. |
|
| 2 |
Citizen Kane 1941, PG)
i.e. one of the greatest, if not, THE greatest film ever made. All I have to do now is write about why. |

| 3 |
Mary Poppins 1964, G)
That rarest of films: Practically perfect in every way. |
|
| 4 |
2001: A Space Odyssey 1968, G)
Still scratching my head over that ending, but... oh what the hell. It's better than Star Wars. Quite probably. |

| 5 |
The Elephant Man 1980, PG)
|
|
| 6 |
Superman 1978, PG)
|
|
| 7 |
The Last Temptation of Christ 1988, R)
Although based on a novel, it explores "The Word became flesh". |
|

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 1971, G)

Sunset Boulevard 1950, Unrated)

Dracula A.D. 1972 1972, PG)
A brilliant premise (Dracula resurrected in the modern age). Something to add to the favourites list. Great dialogue, a fantastic Peter Cushing and wonderful direction. Opinion may change when I've seen the rest though. |
|
| 12 |
Saw 2004, R)
The first (and so far) best. |
|
| 13 |
Forrest Gump 1994, PG-13)
Tom Hanks' performance may prove to be one of my favourites in this whimsical tale of one of the greatest cinematic lives ever lived. There are a couple of instances in which sentimentality may go too far, but I'm an old fart and may add that last star eventually. |
|
| 14 |
The Nightmare Before Christmas 1993, PG)
One of the greatest animated feature films I have ever seen. |
|
| 15 |
Irreversible 2002, Unrated)
