Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans 1927, Unrated)
The most perfect piece of cinema made at the end of the silent era. Never has it been bettered. |
|
| 2 |
The Apartment 1960, Unrated)
Bittersweet and some of the best dialogue ever heard in American cinema. Billy Wilder is a god. |
|
| 3 |
The General 1926, Unrated)
How can you not love this movie? The funniest thing ever committed to film. |
|
| 4 |
Badlands 1973, PG)
Lyrical, moving and far better than any of its many imitators - Natural Born Killers et al. Not the original this, but the best. Haunting. |
|
| 5 |
Apocalypse Now 1979, R)
Premiered on the day I was born! The best metaphysical action war movie ever. Every frame is mad and utterly brilliant. |
|

Stray Dogs (Sag-haye velgard) 2004, Unrated)
A truly magnificent piece of film making. Heart-wrenching, lyrical and controversial. Everything cinema should be |

The Third Man 1949, Unrated)
Take away Citizen Kane and Orson Welles is still a genius - for even though he didn't officially direct this, his hands are all over it. The best noir ever made. Vienna never looked so dirty. |

The Wages of Fear 1953, Unrated)
This is so exciting. Puts most action movies to shame. And the more I watch it, the more exciting it becomes. Don't be put off by the first half hour (my favourite section of the movie, oddly) this is cracking cinema. |

City Lights 1931, G)
Chaplin's finest moment. Full of heartbreaking beauty. |
