Your all time top five films?
Discussion
Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan: 1982, yeah that's a very good film, but one would need to like sci-fi to watch it.
I was searching ph for something rlse when I saw a thread, my top ten films if anyone cares, it was from 2006. I scanned it, it had some older films in, stuff that doesn't get repeated now. It's a shame, I listed LA COnfidential earlier, but forgot all about Chinatown, which it owes a lot to. I also like the 70's version of Farewell my LOvely, though it's not Chinatown.

Ah ha - the only person apart from OH who has seen A Girl Walks Home Alone . My friends couldn't understand my enthusiasm for a US /Iranian pulp vampire movie with a skateboarding heroine .... Great soundtrack too.
Maybe there's an argument for it being style over substance. Kinda like Drive which is another favourite but I'm a sucker for good cinematography and soundtrack to the point that story could suck I'll still like it *cough Tron Legacy cough*

Me too. An honourable mention please for Hear My Song about the Irish lad trying to run a musical hall in Liverpool. A big section of the film is him back in Ireland trying to find an act he's promised everyone. In one scene he's with James Nesbit as a down-at-heel theatrical agent with a Morris Traveller.
"Jesus, you're a terrible driver."
"You should see me when I'm on me own."
"I'd like to be with you when you're on your own."
The lead character is played by Adrian Dunbar who doesn't spring to mind as a comedy actor but he was funny in that. Wow, just looked him up; he co-wrote it. Better still.

Have you seen Baby Driver? That may be to your liking. Apologies for the thread resurrection, but I was searching for something and stumbled across this thread in the search results.
