On Her Majesty's Secret Service 1969, PG)
the 84% who don't want to see this are nuts. This is THE Bond movie. |
|
| 2 |
Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan 1982, PG)
The best Trek movie and one that saved the franchise. |
|

Free Enterprise 1998, R)

| 10 |
Dirty Harry 1971, R)
|
|
| 11 |
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 2005, PG-13)
I'll be honest I liked it in the cinema. Broad screen in Leicester Sq. Some of it falls flat but once it gets past the Windu/Palpatine fight it's top notch (dialogue aside). |
|
| 12 |
A Night to Remember 1958, Unrated)
not to be bettered. |
|
| 13 |
The Ipcress File 1965, Unrated)

Where Eagles Dare 1969, PG)
|
|
| 16 |
Monty Python's Life of Brian 1979, R)
|
|
| 17 |
Jurassic Park 1993, PG-13)
A film I don't think I'd tire of liking. Though lightened in tone to the book it nonetheless has moments that are 'bloody', so to speak. Sam Neill in his heyday. |
|
| 18 |
Jurassic Park III 2001, PG-13)
In theory pointless, but features Sam Neill who perhaps has past the zenith of his career...the man who was once touted to suceed Roger Moore as James Bond. |
|
| 19 |
The Lost World - Jurassic Park 1997, PG-13)
Marginally good with half decent score by John Williams. If it had Sam Neill returning as Grant I think it would've been extra special. However, anything good to this perhaps ends when we have the T-Rex in San Diego. |

Zulu 1964, PG)
|
|

Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy 2004, PG-13)
God help me but I love it...though it loses way after Ron is...y'know...I can't help but quote it often. |
|
| 28 |
The Tailor of Panama 2001, R)

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind 2004, R)
My movie. |
|
| 44 |
Ocean's Eleven 1960, Unrated)
sod the others, this is the best. |
|
| 45 |
Patton 1970, PG)
Though inaccurate in places (such as the infamous flag scene, Bradley & Rommel) it is a decent movie though maybe too epic at 2hrs 43. |
|
| 46 |
Escape from Alcatraz 1979, PG)
Supremely enjoyable movie, suspensful and realistic based on a true story. Being filmed on Alcatraz adds to it a great deal. |

| 54 |
Star Trek - Nemesis 2002, PG-13)
|
|
| 55 |
The Andromeda Strain 1971, G)
Suspensful and with that edge of fear. It also shows you don't need a full blown A cast to make a good movie. |
|
| 56 |
Airport 1970, G)
|
|
| 57 |
Local Hero 1983, PG)
|
|
| 58 |
Flags of Our Fathers 2006, R)
The flashbacks spoil it, mainly because of zigging back and forth without distinction but it's powerful stuff all the same. |
|
| 59 |
Letters from Iwo Jima 2006, R)
I found this better than Flags, moving and putting a face to an enemy still thought as savages. In the cinema there was not a sound as it played. Only time I've experienced that. |
|

The Living Daylights 1987, PG)

Passport to Pimlico 1949, Unrated)
I wish they made films like this now. No swearing for all its 81mins. |
|
| 68 |
The Towering Inferno 1974, PG)
Dare I say, intense fun. Forget the bickering between Newman & McQueen in real life, this -though corny at times- is damn good. |

Elizabeth 1998, R)
Oh how foul it was that Ms Blanchett did not win an Oscar. A good performance and Geoffrey Rush is as ever, on fine form. |
|
| 75 |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age 2007, PG-13)
Brilliance. Well acted, written and shot. Stirring clifftop speech and dare I say, Blanchett looks hot in armour!? |

Downfall (Der Untergang) 2004, R)
few make such an accurate movie on the war lest from the German prospective...other than the Germans themselves as with Das Boot, Stalingrad and others. Simply put, this film is maginificently stirring, moving and emotive. |

Death Proof 2007, R)
For reasons yet unknown I'm coming out of this film liking it. Kurt Russell is the bomb and my hero for getting a lapdance from Vanessa Ferlito who is now top of my list. |

Star Trek Generations 1994, PG)
Other than Kirk teaming up at the end with JL it sucks. The crash of the Enterprise is worth watching though I tend to ignore it for the death of the greatest Trek captain. |

Dark Blue World (Tmavomodrý svet) 2001, R)
Magnificent film in my eyes. Beautiful aerial sequences, acting and some tear-provoking moments. These men were heroes. |
|
| 199 |
Little Miss Sunshine 2006, R)
I could not help but fall in love with this film. Splashes of Wes Anderson, funny and emotive. The paegent segment is kind of disturbing yet when the gang get up to dance it makes the smile return. |
