I've never been able to get into the Deerhunter. An hour about an eastern european style wedding, straight into VC jail, no action inbetween and then the Mao! Mao! scene. Terrible film.

I.D

Currently sitting in my DVD collection. Cracking film.

I'm not going to list my favourite films, as most have probably not heard of a few of them, plus everyone seems to rib me about my movie tastes.

Re: O/T Best Films. : Thu Mar 25, 2010 8:33 pm  

The killing fields.

I enjoyed Shawshank Redemption but think it is very overrated and is not deserving of a pl;ace in a top 10 (or top 50 for that). Too syrupy, particluary the last 30 minutes. Great performances though.

The Big Lebowski? Not the Coen Brothers best. Couldn't decide whether to put one of theirs in... Fargo? Barton Fink?

The shawshank redemption is a masterclass and very deserving in a place in the top 10
