I had Lion In Winter at #5. Always loved this one. The dialogue especially.

really like Hud, but it didn't make my list and i had forgotten about They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

That's 3 so far for me.

1st (25 points), 3rd (23 points), 7th (19 points), 15th (11 points), 2x 23rd (6 points)

This was number 15 on my list. That makes two movies, so far, and both starring Jane Fonda. Go figure!

There's supposed to be one on his name, so when I typed it (at the top) I included one, the poster which I got from online (the Criterion) release didn't have one on it though.

Edit: Oh I see what you mean, yeah I think it's just the font doesn't have one so it uses the closest to it.

According to Daniel's "breakdown", nobody had Horses at 5th place.

I was mainly trying to point out that I STILL don't have a film from my list yet.



The Breakdown...

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner


2nd (24 points), 8th (18 points), 11th (15 points), 12th (14 points), 18th (8 points), 19th (7 points)

What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?


6th (20 points), 9th (17 points), 2x 12th (28 points), 17th (9 points), 21st (5 points), 4x 24th (8 points)

Notes


Each film was the only to receive its respective amount of points, so no tie breaking process was necessary.



You can't make a rainbow without a little rain.
I watched both of these movies for this list, and I liked both movies.

What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? didn't make my list, but Guess Who's Coming To Dinner was #19 on my list.



What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?...With the legendary Bette Davis up against her arch foe Joan Crawford, this is the stuff of legends. I had it at 24, if I didn't have so many other great films on my list I would have ranked it higher.

This is a masterpiece as it nails what it intended to do: Classic 60s psychological camp horror, with an over the top Bette Davis and the grande dame Ms Crawford being terrorized by her. Just the thought of that cracks me up.



Finally another from my list!! I had Baby Jane at 21. Bette Davis completely made this movie for me. Terrifying performance. Its also one of my mums favourite films.

Haven't seen Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?, in ages. I remember liking but not loving it. Great performances by Tracy, Hepburn and Pointer though.

Seen - 13/28
My List - 2/25
