    What a Great list, must admit 2/3 not seen or heard of so will look them up out of respect to your great work!!
    Funny innit you make a list, then see other peoples lists and realisse you could put 7/8 new films into a ten compilation!!

    Noticible, that apart from a couple exceptions, [and SoldierBlue], bout the same 25 or so films keep appearing,
    in this and other threads!! Usually at least 4/5 of these in everyones top ten!! maybe apart fron yours Darntootin... So i thought......

    .... How about we all suggest 2 great films we have loved, or affected our lives, that are maybe a bit more obscure, and not been mentioned regulary, or even at all!! Been thinking about this a while and it aint easy, cause most have had a mention, but here goes:-

    Paris, Texas  - Moving sound & atmosphere, Harry Dean Stanton, in a great character role again!! Jessica Lange, beautiful, sad & 'life-worn'

    Badlands - Very young Sissy Spacek opposite a 'James Dean' like -------- argggh!!! cant rembeber, in i believe a true story of a killing spree, which Springsteen wrote 'Nebraska, about. Similar atmosphere to Paris, funny enuf' must have caught a nerve with me, lol,

    Enjoy, if you have not seen, and i look forward to some other obscure or mad suggestions, like Oldboy & Scarecrow! ok i'll stop now!

    Gd shout Hitman as a young lad i would have loved to have been like a fearless noble hero such as El Cid,Sparticus and(soz gotta put 3) Taras Bulba unfortunately i was more like a character from Sc um(thats if you believe my probation officer) :~)
           lol this site doesn't like the word sc um so without thinking put the space between the s and c,
           3 guesses what other word this site doesn't like

    Tough question, my top ten for today are:

    The Hustler
    The Sting
    Planes, Trains and Automobiles
    Superman (The original)
    Up
    Se7en
    Halloween (Original)
    Glory
    The Eagle has Landed
    Transformers: The Movie - That's the cartoon original, not Michael Bay ripping up my childhood dreams with that jumped up Toy Advert.  And yes I know the original is a cartoon for kids and the animation isn't much cop for this day and age, but I still cry when Optimus Prime dies, I STILL CRY!!!

    this is never easy  but here goes in no particular order

    Nightmare Before Christmas
    Harvey
    Cat and the Canary (Bob Hope version)
    Once Upon a Time in the West
    North by Northwest
    The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad
    A Matter of Life and Death

    Aski :)

    Just missing out

    Electra Glide in Blue (1973) Weird but wonderful film

    Doppleganger (1993) - Responsible for my Drew Barrymore Obsession ;)

    Fail Safe (1958) - Henry Fonda at his best, but just beaten by his performance in Once upon a time in the west

    Charade (1963) - The best non Hitchock, Hitchock-type movie

    2 That haven't been mentioned......hmmmmmm a hard one

    I'll go for a recomendation you can all watch first.

    A great little comedy available at 9pm tonight on Film 4 called OFFICE SPACE. Check it out. It's very funny and will strike a chord with anyone who does or has ever worked in an office and hated it. It has jennifer aniston as the love interst but don't let that put you off as this not Rom Com and her role is really small and insignificant

    This one was mentioned on another thread between HItman and Myself but i beleive it's a film few will have heard of or would ever have oportunity to stumble accross unless they were looking for it. its called THE HILL and has a steller cast including Sean Connery, Sir Michael Redgrave, Ozzie Davis, and many more. This is one for the fans on the Black And Whites but the atmosphere and intensity of this film is stunning

    Check Em Out !!!

    You can't beat a bit of Harry Dean Stanton and he's great in Paris, Texas.

    Badlands is terrific and along with about another 20 films was unlucky not to make it into the 20 that I eventually picked, but it was very close.

    Two, more obscure films that I can't get enough of...

    Female Prisoner #701 Scorpion (1972 Shunya Ito) / Female Convict Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 (1972 Shunya Ito) - The first two films in the Scorpion WIP/r*pe revenge series (there were 4 in total), these films take their typical exploitation themes into a crazed world of surrealist art. In the title role, Meiko Kaji is simply awsome, delivering a near mute performance as the avenging fury whose stare could chill the blood of even the toughest b*st*rds. Also look out for her in Blind Woman's Curse (1970 Teruo Ishii) and Lady Snowblood (1974 Fujita Toshiya)

    Keoma (1976 Enzo G Castellari) - incredible spaghetti western starring Franco Nero (Django), its routine storyline is lifted by the directorial flourishes of Castellari and the amusing score by the De Angelis brothers where a guy (who sounds like Leonard Cohen) and gal sing about the on-screen action.

    Yep 'The Hill' Great one!!!! Nice one Aces, thats what we are talking about!!!
    This film got a few mentions on a thread couple of months ago, well worth a watch for the un-initiated, Roy Kinnear  had a great cameo part in this, I remember callin Ossie Davis the English Sidney Poitier, then found out he was American, lol, he has plyed in lots of recent films in a 'wise ol' New yorker' type role!

    Ok, will look these two up!!!
    Must admit found the Djanjo-type films bit corny & hard work compared to Sergios Eastwood spagetti's,
    Will take these two on board & make time to view, thanks mate
    Put another two up if you think of any, loving your detail

    I'm about to watch 'Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus'. I believe it's James Hartigan's favourite film in the whole world EVER.... although he'll probably make one of those easy to see through denials ;-)
    Twiglets and beer at the ready.

    You can have 'Silence of the lambs' because T2 shouldn't be in the list (it's not as good the original) and Alien shouldn't be either because it's worse than Aliens ;-) So replace one of those with SOTL :-)

    PS - Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus is really rubbish. It's actually embarrassing to watch - a bit like 'Fast And The Furious' was. Debbie Gibson used to be so good............ lol
