Best 12 I can't see mentioned and in no particular order (well, maybe number one)

1. On the Waterfront (amazed that's not there)
2 Paths of Glory Classic Kubrick.
3. Dr Strangelove Ditto.
4. Brighton Rock (original version of course)
5. Notorious. One of Hitchcock's finest.
6. Goldfinger. The best Bond film with the original and best Bond.
7. Great Expectations. David Lean before he went all epic.
8. To Have and Have Not. Bogart and Bacall.
9. Judgement at Nuremberg. With the great Spencer Tracy and Judy Garland.
10. High Noon. Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly directed by Fred Zinneman.
11. The Entertainer. Fantastic performance by Laurence Olivier.
12. Kes. Really not mentioned?

Arsenic and Old Lace (original Alec Guinness version) - Alec Guinness possibly my favourite ever actor.

Click to expand...

Such a virtuoso performance from Alec Guiness that he played Cary Grant throughout the whole film, a bit like Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot. I do agree with you about Alec Guiness, tho. You can make a pretty passable Top 12 from films he was in, and to prove the point

1 Great Expectations
2 Bridge On The River Kwai
3 Star Wars
4 Dr Zhivago
5 Lawrence Of Arabia
6 The Lavender Hill Mob
7 Kind Hearts And Coronets
8 The Ladykillers
9 Tunes Of Glory
10 Oliver Twist
11 The Man In The White Suit
12 Damn The Defiant

It's way too difficult to pick a top 12 so I just thought of 12 films that I could happily watch over and over again. There's loads more but these will do.

Great to see a carry on film in there. My choice would be Carry On Cabby though
