I love the Will Hay films with Graham Moffat and Moore Marriot, I can watch Ask A POliceman, Oh Mr Porter! and Where's that Fire endlessly

The Clint spaghettis, any one really but Good, Bad and Ugly if I had to pick (pub quiz - name the three actors!), has he been in any turkeys?

Some of his stuff has flopped, or been less than well received, but I don't think there are any outright stinkers, although I bet 'Lady Godiva of Coventry' hasn't stood up too well to the test of time.

Watched ANy WHich But Loose last night. Can't think of any stinkers, I did go and look too.

I've not seen any that I don't like, but then I've not seen them all.

I actually prefer it! It's a better fight, and the Black Widows! I have their tune in my head!

Philo Beddo for President!!

Star Wars - A New Hope
Apocalypse Now
The Godfather
The Lord of the Rings - Return of the King
Gladiator


So many more though that I could list alongside these if I were to really think about it.

So many great movies already mentioned so my favourite five that aren't constantly being mentioned are:
1. Christine
2. Top Gun
3. The fastest Indian
4. Dogma (apart from the ridiculous st monster scene)
5. The Fifth Element.

Thinking about it, for me, those are Clint's 'stinkers' - just can't warm to them. Sondra Locke's damaged character in the first film is completely at odds with the tone of the film; for the second film they just gloss over that side of her. And the second has that ghastly lift from '10'.

1. Warriors
2. Scum (uncut)
3. It's a mad mad mad mad world
4. The Party (Peter Sellers)
5. Jungle Book (Disney)

Think youre right, theyre not his best and certainly not a top 5 entry but if you love raw fighting with a bit of comedy there isnt that many to choose from to be fair and his demeanour suits this type of film better than any other actor i can think of.

They're not great, but they're certainly no stinker, one does need to be a big Clint fan. I read the production/response paragraphs from wiki.

learned a few things. I had actually forgotten that Sandra Locke's character was as she was. I'd also forgotten that Tank realises what Philo does.
Also learned that famous wrestler Gene LeBell was in it.

Mine will change daily but here are 5 that spring to mind.

Withnail & I - Great atmosphere, great music and great one-liners.
The Colour of Money - Scorsese with Newman and Cruise hustling their way around America’s pool halls.
Top Gun - Tom again but damn did I want to be a fighter pilot after seeing this. Can’t wait for the new one.
The Fall - Tarsem Singh’s stunningly beautiful fairytale as told by an injured stuntman.
Whiplash - Near perfect view on the quest for perfection and pushing too far. JK Simmons deserves more credit.

One for every mood and level of intoxication.

Schindler's List
If...
Lawrence of Arabia
Flash Gordon
Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Oh hell. I forgot the Fastest Indian and all the Kev Smith films, Dogma, Mallrats etc. Not sure they make top 5 but top 10 for sure.
