My Favorite Movies

i could watch this more often than anything else,not that i do.joseph walker's camerawork is enough to watch it for.

probably my favourite hawks film.bogart is fantastic.

one of the best films ever.i love this film.fantastic herrman score.very atmospheric.ray's best in my view.a film with ward bond,and snow.

epic of epics.great cinematography ,performances, and music.

photography by the great joseph walker. grant comes of age.flip a coin to see if you should watch it.

should be more well known.breathtaking.

fantastic finale.my favourite gangster film.

amazing.brilliant score,not just the famous bits,the gentler moments too.perkins is a revelation, and he swings a mean mop.

van gogh is the artist everyone can relate to. feels like a nicholas ray film, but is directed by minnelli.

seems better with each viewing. makes you see john wayne in a new way.you feel part of the action.very involving film.

technically the best film ever made.mankiewicz wrote first drafts.welles re-wrote it.if it was a painting mankiewicz provided materials and told welles what to look at,and welles did the painting.

was on tv when the plane hit the twin towers.ironic considering this was a world war two propaganda film to get america into the fight.great film.i like lord hamilton and wanted to know more of his story.

"...there's no-one on my side, and surely that ain't right..".one of my favourite modern films.great music.mann knows how to create atmosphere.

amazing.didnt need the 2 sequels.2nd is edge of seat stuff,good action sequences.

" there's a flipside to that coin,..."

better than even i expected.the ending is the best i have seen in a modern film.

i liked this,spielberg is a cracking storyteller.keeps you on the edge of your seat.could have gone on longer,seems to end a bit soon,but i thought it was good.

very modern film.great naturalistic camerawork.one minute you love boudu,the next you hate him,but at the end you just think what a character.

great script,and central performance by crawford.scott and carson are good too.

what can i say.mann and music and atmosphere always come together.

cracking dialogue.looks very modern,and is very atmospheric.great fun,and edge of the seat stuff.especially when bogart takes a beating.elisha cook probably wishes he helped him out.

scorsese's best.de niro's best.herrmann's last score.

mutiny on the bounty as a western epic.wayne shows he can act.open range gives a nod to the sugar stealing bit.

as it was truffaut thought i'd watch it.turns out its his best,that i have seen anyway.

if you want to see the true film of wuthering heights,this is better than the wyler version.

lynch's most enjoyable film.cracking atmosphere,and pumping music.

photography by russell metty who did bringing up baby,and spartacus.

seems very real,you forget it is pacino at times the action is so fast.

to have and have not done more faithfully.hawks version is better,but this is good.

sydney pollack's best film.redford can act his socks off sometimes.

one of hawks'best later films.great fun.

amazing technicolor and music.quintessential flynn performance.how can you not like this film?

best film noir.effortless as mitchum.very cleverly done.class.

the best merchant ivory film.

caught this on tv by chance.got me into paul auster.read the new york trilogy.

bogey steps up a gear from supporting actor to star.raoul walsh is a great director.check out his other stuff.

very clever film.keeps you guessing all the time.great twists.
