Inspired by some list makers on Twitter I decided to do a list of my favourite films of all time. I didn't quite have enough for 100 and didn't want to drop any out to make it 50 so compromised on the slightly unusual number of 70. I love films but know I have some pretty glaring omissions (I've still not watched The Vikings before you ask!) so figured I'd list them in chronological order so you can let me know what I need to see.

Not bad mate some crackers in there - couple of glaring omissions:
ReplyDeletePredator, From Dusk Til Dawn & Final Countdown. What happened to the Big Bus?!
Thanks Shuft - Have I told you that I've fallen asleep during every attempt I've made to watch Predator? That's largely due to alcohol and lateness rather than any opinion of the film itself.
ReplyDeleteI think the Big Bus would be 71 :-)
