Aussiepeter Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 With you toolpush - Kelly's Heroes. On a posting to Greece 1987/88 we had a VDO player but only had 2 movies, "KH" and "The Blues Brothers". Next best (and surprised nobody mentioned it) is "The Magnificent Seven". Lastly, "The African Queen". Luckily, got all four on DVD in Tachilek market for 30 baht each when doing the ubiquitous Non-O visa runs about ten years ago. I also like the original B/W movie "Dunkirk" which is far more believable and much better watching than the new Dunkirk (I hate computer graphics).

Popular Post CharlieH Posted April 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2020 Movies can be "special" not just because they are great movies but because they are postcards in time, and have other kinds of "special" about them. some of mine.... 633 Squadron Great Escape True Grit (69) Grease Jaws To kill a mocking bird Se7en Silence of the Lambs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19DL86 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Good call but very very hard to narrow it down to 10 mate. Trued it, easy ten best bands. Too many different gendres - great British films by Ken Loach Mike Leigh etc that many non Brits wouldnt get. Many of those named above all good, some great and should be in any list. IMHO theres only a few actors who ve never made a bad film Russell Crow, Denzel Washington are among them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Susco Posted April 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2020 Going through the posts in this thread I wonder if members didn't watch a movie in the last 20 years, or all live in the past. I'm sure nobody want to claim that no good movies were made after the year 2000. I don't have a list of 10 best, but just to name a few of really quality movies, from the last 20 years The Pianist Slumdog Millionaire The Departed There will be blood No country for old men Lion Hotel Rwanda The grand budapest hotel Inception 12 years a slave 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSam Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Only ONE guy mentioned THE PIANIST which I think is one of the best movies ever made.

Just like there are actors/actresses that are almost a guarantee for a worthwhile movie (e.g. Robert de Niro, Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, ...) there are also directors which provide consistent quality in their movie projects. You cannot go wrong with movies by - the Coen brothers - Stanley Kubrick - Akira Kurosawa - Milos Forman - Lars von Trier or in the more popular genre, movies directed by - Ridley Scott - Quentin Tarantino - Steven Spielberg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logosone Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 A Thai film is actually among the best of all time, can't believe I forgot about it: Chocolate, with the amazing Yanin Vismistananda, maybe the best martial arts action movie of that decade. Superb film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19DL86 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 See many Tom Hanks films afforded credit, great actor one of the best in the last 30 years. A few pap films to start off his career, but 3-4 master pieces. Fractured with Anthony Hopkins is a very clever slick film which doesn't get as much acclaim as it should. Not Top 10 though but just thought I did give it a shout. So too The Life of Walter Mitty, very much a feel good movie and an unusual coupling.

Made a few dire movies perhaps to finance his TriBeCa projects but can be forgiven as he's provided excellent ones righ up until The Irishman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
