The Blues Brothers
Quadrophenia
Life of Brian

Good choice for Night of the Hunter. One of those films in which you'd travel back in time to see, and then start a campaign for it be lauded and not poorly thought of, preventing Laughton from directing again.

I'd go for, off the top of my head and trying not to think of so many wonderful films:
The Third Man
The Conversation
A Separation

Of those six, Night of the Hunter, Citizen Kane and The Third Man must be better than anything since perhaps The Godfather.

No, but I've been told the book is a lot better. I have read Trainspotting in Glasgow dialect. Nightmare to read.

Once you get into it the dialect in Irvine Welsh‘s books is pretty easy to follow as it's just phonetics and is consistent. And mostly Edinburgh, not Weedgie btw. [emoji6]

I love his writing but every time I start one of his books it takes a few pages to get the accent into my head.

Trainspotting and Filth both made decent amusing movies but the books are way better. As is usually the case.

 

[Dick Head]

Porridge
Sons of the Desert
Some Like it Hot

[Questions]

The Godfather
One flew over the Cuckoos Nest
The Long Good Friday

Post 46 before the best film ever made Imo (Cuckoos Nest) gets a mention. Nicholson, Fletcher, Devito , Dourif, Christopher Lloyd and Will Sampson never got close to this again. How could they ? The most stunning piece of cinema ever, but all the pieces were there at the right time. A stupendous Kesey novel but put together as the stage play keeping it so compact by Milos Forman. Apart from maybe 5 Easy Pieces and parts in The Last Detail I never saw Nicholson reach these heights again. Not his fault just the writing and direction he worked under.

Anyway

The Godfather 2 and Goodfellows for the other 2............probably ?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Usual Suspects
Mary Poppins
Psycho

Haven't we done this before, quite recently?
