[David Hughes]

How about;

Stagecoach,
Way Out West,
The Ladykillers,
Some Like It Hot,
In joint 5th position are too many to list but...

Regards, David

PS We need a foreign section, I'll start with "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis" but that complicates things as "Stagecoach" and "Some Like It Hot" are foreign and some would argue that "Way Out West" is but Stan Laurel is British. Nothing's ever simple is it?

 

[Greyscale]

That would be the 1955 "The Ladykillers", and not the horrible US remake, I hope?

 

[zeezea]

Here are five of my favorites. No particular order:

1. Kind Hearts and Coronets
2. Paths of Glory
3. Seven Samurai
4. Amelie
5. Lord of the Rings (original Trilogy)

Regards,
Al

 

[Paul Jenkin]

In no particular order:
- Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
- The Italian Job (the original not the crap remake....)
- City of God
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- The Bles Brothers

That would be the 1955 "The Ladykillers", and not the horrible US remake, I hope?

Hi,

Of course, the original is so near perfect that I wondered how anyone could even consider a remake.

BTW, years ago my boss at work was a kid living near Kings Cross station in London and he remembers the house being built at the end of the road for the film...

BTW 2, a scene in Harry Potter takes place on the same footbridge Prof Marcus used to take the pictures of the bullion arriving.

[daveleo]

How did I forget Sunset Boulevard !?


And, despite it's generic homestyle menu, It's a Wonderful Life was a fine piece of work.

 

[Paul Jenkin]

After yesterday's hideous and tragic news about Robin Williams, I'll have to add Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting and The Fischer King. I know that's more than 5 now - but I am truly gutted by the news. there'll be a lot less laughter in the world since his passing.
