I have so many... too many to list,,,..... so I'll just say,,,, Pretty much every black and white movie ever produced at Pinewood Studios Elstree Film Studios and Ealing Studios….. to me they were the halcyon days of British cinematography and real life story telling.... simply the best!!! |

I wasn't alive for most of um either - well, I was (just) for Patton
Maybe it's just my subconcious way of saying 'don't overlook the old ones, cos they might just surprise ya' |

There are few films back that long ago that I would call 'The Best of All Time'. Picture quality and less social conservatism and more fiscal conservatism in production does make a significant difference to creative output.
More importantly perhaps, we used to have such beauties as Grace Kelly and Sophie Loren gracing the picture screen. Ravishing and effortlessly sexual beings.
Today we have Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton. That's like replacing Stilton with Dairylea easy singles.
We used to have Clark Gable and now we have Justin Bieber. Some things have suffered a marked decline.
There were however, some good ones with the occasional hint of greatness.
The Seventh Seal
Creature from the Black Lagoon
A Clockwork Orange
Kabinett des Doktor Caligari
Magician
Rashomon
Black Narcissus
Du rififi chez les hommes
The Conformist
The Great Dictator
In a separate development I've had a revelation!
Mike Myers plays both Austin Powers AND Doctor Evil 
I never realised, they were so different, one was a good man while the other was truly evil |
