Top 10 films

.. and while we're on the subject of The Draughtsman's Contract, I thought I might try and put together my top 10 favourite films - as of today - as inevitably I'll think of others and change my mind tomorrow - perhaps we'll re-visit this list occasionally. So, we have to have the aforementioned Draughtsman in there, and something directed by the Coen Brothers, and David Lynch, and Alfred Hitchcock, and Billy Wilder, and Stanley Kubrick, and Mel Brooks, and Robert Altman, and Wim Wenders, and Powell and Pressburger, and Federico Fellini, and Werner Herzog, and Pedro Almodovar, and John Cassavetes, and Quentin Tarantino, and  Woody Allen, and something starring Susan Sarandon, and Steve Martin, and Lee Marvin, and Dennis Hopper, and Bill Murray, and Jack Nicholson, and Michael Caine, and Ben Gazzara, and George Clooney, and Gene Hackman, and Jean-Louis Trintignant, and Steve McQueen, and Walter Matthau, and Isabelle Huppert...
So, here you go, in no particular order (as that would be doubly difficult!):

  • The Draughtsman's Contract
  • The Man with 2 Brains
  • Primer
  • The Duellists
  • The Fall
  • Morgan, a suitable case for treatment
  • Point Blank
  • Blood Simple
  • Mulholland Drive
  • The Headless Woman

Crikey, 10's not nearly enough... what about 2001, and Apocalypse Now, and Repo Man, and Wings of Desire, and The Producers, and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, and Juliet of the Spirits, and Groundhog Day, and An American Werewolf in London, and Five Easy Pieces, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Annie Hall, and Blazing Saddles, and Bullitt......
