My Favorite Movies

The most entertaining slice of bigotry you'll ever see. I loved it and despised it in almost equal measure.

A great film marred only by a seriously questionable rape scene.

Almost perfect.

Fun, entirely different from The Other One, I like this better because it has Dean Martin in it, and the Other One does not. Simple as.

Almost perfect. This is going to live for a very long time. Roll on Dead Man's Chest.

None better. Except the first picture.

Last third brilliant, first two not. Still, rather this than a Paul Walker movie any day.

Better than I was expecting....... slow but somehow still quite endearing. Phantom cool.

A truly excellent, terrifying and yet hopeful film that made me sit up and think. It even made me think I should do something for the world. That I haven't isn't a failing of the film. Simply... life-changing.

The greatest Hollywood shagger takes on the greatest legendary shagger and does so with mirth and tongue in cheek (not always his own). Viveca Lindfors was also a decent match for Flynn as the queen. Robert Douglas suitably smarmy and evil. Also note the censor-enraging tights.

Rollicking, rousing, glorious. Once upon a time, pirate movies didn't need to be funny to be the best thing you ever saw.

There's simply no better version of this tale. None. If anyone tells you otherwise they're either lying or moronic.

Valentino gurns, the scenario is almost as bigoted as Birth of A Nation and yet it's still a fantastic film. Fall in love with Rudolph today.

A wonderful picture in which Valentino gets to play a really decent fellow and has improved from the eye-bulging days. You never had it so good.

Seriously, if you don't like this there IS something wrong with you.

Not for everyone, but fantastic at what it does.

Eleanor Powell wonderful, Astaire OK. Begin The Beguine one of the great movie dances. Plot on holiday.

Busby Berkeley was not a genius as Mickey Rooney said, but it's a perfectly serviceable picture just the same. Interesting to see Gene Kelly's first film knowing what he'd become.

A watershed, some might say. Beautiful, bloody and complex.

Fun, good songs, but if it weren't for MM, this would've been forgotten long ago.

Fun but ultimately just froth.

Best lo-tech heist ever. Audrey is pretty, Peter is charming. Brilliant bit of fluff.

Manages to make Rome look good. Bittersweet and beautiful and thoroughly believable (somehow).

Witty, sharp and just a little too wordy.... Bogart is great, Gardner is beautiful and somehow it still falls ever so slightly flat. Worth watching a couple of times, but hard to really love.

Ludicrous, pompous and stupid, but brilliant. Perce never looked so good - just a shame the music lacks verve, zest and energy.

Inspired, moving and funny as, er, Hell.

Bonkers terrible wonderful crazy sexy nasty fabulous. One of the great moments of the 70s rock scene.

Mad as a fucking hat box, but any movie that features Pope Ringo and an eight foot cock and the immortal words "Piss off, Brahms!" can't totally suck. Wish I could find it on DVD.

Peter O'Toole deserves immortality as far as I'm concerned. A beautiful, important and challenging film.

An astounding movie. Deserving of That Oscar. Interesting, thoughtful and bloody.

Majestic. Wonderful, although let's be honest- we didn't need Cameron Diaz at all. Scene with the Irish at the church will remain with me until the day I die.

One of the very best of the musicals - certainly one of the last.

Wonderfully photographed, Gable and Gardner fabulous, Kelly OK.

This is one of the very best motion pictures ever made - I challenge anyone to find anything wrong with it.

A bit stilted, but not nearly so bad as it could've been. Check out Valentino as an honorable English toff!
