Bluemoon's Official Top 100 Films

[Bigga]

I like Denzil and have seen pretty much all his stuff but can’t remember Training Day, so that says it all to me.
The rest shouldn’t be anywhere near a top 20 list in my opinion.

I’ll accept some people love Sound of Music but I’ve tried several times down through the decades to watch that film and haven’t and won’t succeed now.
I think ten to fifteen minutes are as much as I have endured. And yet they still insist on putting it on every Christmas or New Year.
As someone else said, not my thing.

You really need to watch that film and clean slate the Denzel you know out of your mind!

Another great group of films,

Zulu is one of my all time favs(in my top five) a proper epic, with a brilliant cast and superb direction, and some of the best cinematics you will see, the backdrop and battle scenes are fantastic, and along with lots of action and stirring music it is imo a masterpiece. This film had a lot of cooperation from the modern Zulu men who made up thousands of extras btw as cgi was non existent then. As well as being loosely based on a true story about bravery on both sides, there is real history in there. Characters such as Hook did exist and did get the Victoria Cross despite also being the unruly type in real life. The first screening was on the battles 85th anniversary in 1964, I never saw it until about 1973 at the cinema, those landscapes were breathtaking in widescreen and that brilliantly coordinated scene where the thousands of Zulus first appear on the hillside has etched itself in my film memory forever.

Platoon is one of my favourite Vietnam films, and I think its a better watch overall than Full Metal Jacket which was released at a similar time.

The two comedies are afir enough, but blazing saddles shades it for me.

Interstellar is a film I have looked forward to seeing since its release but somehow has eluded me, but reports are good and the cast intriguing, so I will catch it soon.

It will be interesting to see what comedies are higher than blazing saddles.

YF (hopefully)

Platoon the best of that lot. Excellent film.

Blazing saddles you say. Voted 20th for 1 point with that there Mel Gibson nothing short of a genial genius. Satirical racism and a politically incorrect masterpiece maybe, but what they did to that poor old horse was nothing short of dreadful.

Blazing saddles is probably the best of the Mel Brooks films but Young Frankenstein ain't too bad eithet

Blazing Saddles.
They just don’t make ‘em like that anymore.





I’m not sure they’re allowed.

Never heard of Trading Place

Decent film before Eddie Murphy went to shit.

Okay, I'll send down a team of horses to check out the ground.

Horses? Why, we can't afford to lose no horses, you dummy! Send over a couple of niggers.
