The Kevs - you both are cheating - 15 in the first reply + ??? in the second. But who mentioned rules!

As you say I loved "1944" which bombed at the box office + "Lost in Space". STOP - STOP, I'm an administrator and I don't cheat!

Top Ten Movies

Bit of a mixed bag really, not in order of preference but:

The Usual Suspects
Das Boot
Private Ryan
Heat
Brassed Off
The Insider
It's a Wonderful Life
The Italian Job
Get Carter
Fight Club

Fight club, only cos it got me with the twist. Weird other than that.

Nice to see a lot of you like Bond.
Perhaps you should click my WWW button under this.

I'm surprises at the lack of car films. I would have thought that Bullitt and Ronin would have featured in at least half of the lists but only Jerry has mentioned them. Off the top of my head, I would probably add some of the following films to those two:

Thelma and Louise
Brassed off
Bladerunner
12 angry men
La femme Nikita
Leon
Terminator
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Schindler's List
The Sting

... the list goes on but I had better stop there. My top panned-by-the-critics film would have to be Hudson Hawk.
