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).

Bambi, Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, Peter Rabbit, The Little Mermaid, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Alice in Wonderland, Free Willy, The Muppets, and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

Interesting selection.  But surely you don't mean the recent James Corden 'Peter Rabbit' monstrosity?

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.

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.

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

Yes agreed with the above, maybe deNiro being the exception. 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
