Stallard12 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 The forum as gone awful quiet, understandable under the circumsstances I guess. However, at the risk of being ravaged, let me try an upbeat deal. Three best MAJOR movies of all time. I nominate, Guns of Navarone, Longest Day and Taken.

Stallard12 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 There ya go. I feel better already. I just thought of another. How about Topkapi, with Peter Ustinov as Arthur Abdul Simpson, in the robbing of the Turkish museum. You might have to be a hundered years old to comment on these. Which movie is better to watch drunk than sober; Mad Max? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stallard12 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 A lot of great movies there. I like Algy's list, although I don't think they are really 'major'. If we talk 'watchable'. how about the lighthearted British comedies of the fifties. While we're at it, how about Barbara Windsor for best actress!!!! Loved 'em.

Cleopatra Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Barbara Windsor couldn't act for toffee. She would never have made it but for her cockney accent and her busting off bras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallard12 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 That Cleo, was a joke intended to evoke the wrath of the forum !!! She did have some outstanding credentials though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Yeah, Stallard, I will agree that she did have a couple of outstanding points. Nah!, after studying the subject matter in detail, she did not have two outstanding point at all, they were merely an extreme illusion fabricated by a support garment. however one would not wish to have one on ones nose as a wart:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Shakespear or Dickension films all the way for me, especially if Babs Windsor is in it. 2B or not 2B that is the question. A Tale Of Two TCitties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
