Nearly came to blows with my brother last night, at his insistence that the original 1940's Sherlock Holmes films are "crap" and the ones being produced/shown at the moment are really good.

Seen 26 of them.
Memento? Really....irritating for the sake of it.
Towering above all others, so glad to see it recognised, is the wonderous WALL-E!
Will use the remaining list to while away the long dark winter nights!

I was a bit underwhelmed by Wall-e mainly because it seemed to borrow all the sentimentality for a poor lonely robot from Silent Running (which at the time I really loved). My kids loved Wall-e though
Definitely riffed on Silent Running. But I thought it was very brave poke in the eye for the US food industry and the mass scale poisoning of the US population. As well as a well aimed pop at the disposable have it all generation
Ten in no particular order
Close Encounters - queued for ages with my Dad
Fury - a western with tanks, what’s not to like
The house that dripped blood- Pertwee and Pitt
Jaws - scared the willies out of me
The Wicker Man - watched it with Robin Hardy and it’s got Ingrid Pitt
To kill a mockingbird- Peck and Duvall
Apocalypse now - the whole film is incredible
Forest Gump - Running and Tom Hanks brill
Bladerunner - visually stunning
Excalibur as above
Plus Empire of the Sun
Daletownrunner, all your faves are from the previous century!

Ha I just had to check, nearly but not all Wheeze I’ll add something more recent with ‘The Queens Gambit’ not really a film as it’s a series, I’m not a massive fan of the streaming type box sets normally, I usually zone out by the third episode but this had me hooked, Mrs DTR and I smashed it over two nights
