Forgot about Deer Hunter and Green Mile and 3 billboards they weren't in my first draft I then drop down to 10

Love Shawshank but think thats all u hear tbh

 

Forgot all about this aswell, brilliant film, Paddy Considine is unreal in this

 

One word describes this film 'Outstanding' Also the greatest screen Hitler ever

 

Another in the film you can easily watch every year club

 

Once again yet another fantastic film thread from Taz

 

Sensational movie

 

Superb movie

 

My favourite film of alll time

 

Brilliant movie

 

Great list Taz. thank you

 

Ah, brilliant stuff Taz. Thanks for what must have been a bit of a marathon!

 

Good work @Taz. Sorry I never contributed, would take me forever to try and narrow down a top 10/20. Some amazing films there

 

I missed the last one ,,,,,i will be ready for the next one.

 

Just catching up on this, as I've been on and off the site, hoping for transfer news.

I'd forgotten about so man movies when I made my list. Interesting that Neeson is producing a historical drama, based on the Tuam scandal, so should be interesting.

Always enjoy your lists and competitions.

 

Although it isn't based on the horrors of what happened at Tuam, there was a film that Cillian Murphy was in from last year called Small Things Like These, worth checking out if you're interested.

 

Will check it out. Seen Philomena, Woman in the Wall and the Magdalene sisters, which deals with a similar theme. It would have been easy for Neeson to just take easy pay cheques for doing more generic action movies, but I respect the fact he is trying different things creatively. Yet to see the Naked Gun.

Don't know how you find the time to do all this, but it is appreciated.
