Films
I enjoy watching films and going to the cinema. I
find this a relaxing way of spending an evening with friends.
This page is devoted to explaining what my favourite films of
all time are, and also what films I have seen at the Cinema since
1 January 2000.
My Top 10 Favourite Films of all time
| 1. |
The Great Escape |
Best war film of all time.
Great plot based on a true story. Steve McQueen's acting
is superb. |
| 2. |
Shawshank
Redemption |
Just been voted one of the top ten films of
the 1990's. Inspiring story of one man's struggle in a harsh
prison environment. Features my favourite actor - Morgan
Freeman. |
| 3. |
White Men Can't Jump |
Superb Basketball movie. |
| 4. |
Twelve Angry Men |
Superbly acted film. This film has been remade
several times, and each remake is as good as the original
starring Henry Fonda. Saw the play version at the Edinburgh
Fringe with an All Star Comedian lineup! Highlight of the
week! |
| 5. |
Carry
on Series |
30 films in total featuring some of the finest
British comedians of the last century. Carry on Screaming,
and Carry on Spying are the best of the bunch. |
| 6. |
Starship Troopers |
Awesome film with great special effects. Good
tale about a group of friends fighting an alien war. |
| 7. |
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure & Bogus
Journey |
A most excellent film! Similar to Wayne's World
in terms of youth culture, although these films came out
first. Very funny. Keanu Reeves at his most bodacious! |
| 8. |
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves |
The main song "Everything I Do (I do it
for you)" spent 16 weeks at No.1 in 1991, and was one
of the first singles I ever bought. Morgan Freeman is superb
yet again! |
| 9. |
Back to the Future trilogy |
This trilogy of films remind me of the 1980's.
Great series of films starring Michael J Fox and Christopher
Lloyd. |
| 10. |
Pleasantville |
Great and thought provoking drama/comedy about
two young people who are sucked back in time and into the
world of a black and white 60's comedy show. |
