Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Outstanding. The ending is even better if you've seen The Big Parade right before this.

It's the only Lynch's movie I like

Not much cycling, but much fun IMO

The 39 Steps (Alfred Hitchcock, 1935)
It's a reasonably lengthy flight in terms of distance alright

Well, one is better than none

I just seen that the other night. I gave it about the same rating too. What did you think of Marlon Brando in it?

I don't really get what is supposed to be so great about this either. It's #4 on the best british films list. Guess it's that Hitchcock was such an important and great director and his best work was clearly in Hollywood so his British films were overrated by critics, or it's really great and i'm missing something. Who knows, i found it overall enjoyable but really exhausting to watch.

L'Avventura


Watching socialite wandering aimlessly just turn me drownsy.

I wasn't impressed either. Just a good and serviceable thriller. I'm not a big fan of Hitchcock's British films I've watched, but I'm way fonder of Blackmail for instance.

Really? ..... that's massively, massively overrating it imo.

Yeah the BFI list this site uses - https://www.movieforums.com/lists/bf...ilms/edit.html

Curious that Brief Encounter is above Lawrence of Arabia too. I'm guessing the fact that Lawrence is a co-american production played into that.

Ahhhhh ..... movieforums .... that explains it all .... I take that site with a big pinch of salt myself

Seriously though, I've always wondered how that list was compiled .... presumably a consensus of views but from whom... critics? directors? members of the film institute? counter-staff at Maccie D's?

BFI did the Sight and Sound list too. I think that list is pretty great for expanding your horizons, IMDB 250>AFI 100>Sight and Sound 250 is a good way to go as a movie fan IMO, then by that point you know where to go and what you like. According to wiki:

I've seen 136/250 of the Sight and Sound list. Here's the list if you have Letterboxd - https://letterboxd.com/garrincha89/l...top-250-films/

The Rules of the Game is the highest one i haven't seen, loved Grand Illusion so i'm looking forward to it.

Cheers for this, does explain why Chariots Of Fire is so unreasonably high on the list

My favourite part is: from the world of British film and television. Love the idea of like Delboy contributing

No idea how many I've seen or not, only problem with lists is I find going through them a bit of a chore really tbh. I can however quickly and categorically say that I've seen all of them all the way down to Tokyo Story though

Defence of the Realm (1986) – 4/10
