'Citizen Kane'/'The Third Man' will always be joint first place but the films that always do it for me (in no particular order)...
The Red Shoes (1948)
My Favorite Year (1982)
Day of Wrath (1942)
Sullivan's Travels (1941)
M*A*S*H (1970)
Richard III (1955)
Midnight Run (1988)
Dougal and the Blue Cat (1971)
This Is Spinal Tap (1982)
Taxi Driver (1975)
Battleship Potemkin (1925)
Evil Dead II:Dead By Dawn (1987)
Dr.Strangelove (1964)
Dawn Of The Dead (1978)
Of course, I love Withnail and Kes to the depths of my soul (fans of Kes should also seek out Colin Welland's complementary Granada TV play, 'Roll On Four O'Clock' from 1970) and all the other films mentioned with the exception of Scarface (unless you're referring to the Howard Hawk's 1932 classic) and Magnolia (not a patch on Altman's 'Short Cuts' imho). And don't get me started on 'True Romance' (or ANY or Tony Scott's "movies").
I could start name-checking all kinds of foreign shit but you'd think I was a pretentious nobhead. I've got around 2500 (classic) films in my collection but those sixteen are the ones I've gone back to time and again for so many different reasons, personal and technical.
As for Shane's films - well, Ken Loach aside, he's my favorite filmmaker working in the UK today and I'm just glad he got with Warp at the right time. I was a good friend of Rob Mitchell in the 1980's before he started the label with Steve and know he would have approved of 'Dead Man's Shoes' wholeheartedly had he lived to see it. It is, after all, the best British film of the last decade and, for me, it's up there with 'Meantime' (1983).

Agree with a lot of yours, some I haven't heard of. But what's up with True Romance? Okay it's a full on mainstream movie but it works for me. PS where on earth can I find this "Roll on 4 o'clock" |
