Spielberg directs Whoopie Goldberg in her first dramatic [and film] role and she excels at it.

Choosing my favourite David Lean is difficult, but I have gone with this (over the other Noel Coward adaptation, This Happy Breed) just for its iconic status.

Otto Premingers directs a truly magnificent Charles Laughton. Secrets, Sex, Sleaze and the Senate in 1960's US politics.

Based on a novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, produced/directed by Merchant-Ivory, starring Hopkins and Thompson plus the breath-taking scenery and setting...how can this film not be one of the best ever made?

Scorcese directs against all odds, and with the always faultless Daniel Day-Lewis, Edith Wharton's stunning novel is brought to life.

The late great Anthony Minghella directs. Love and loss in the ruins of WWII based on Michael Ondaatjes book of same name. Ralph Fiennes as excellent as ever. A weepie.

Al Pacino at his finest (yes I have seen Serpico, Scarface, Heat, Godfather, Dog day Aftternoon etc). The dance scene is one of those brief cinematic moments that stay with you forever. Well, with me!

Must've seen this about 50,000 times. Still as great and incomparable as ever.

I watch this again and again and its so sad no one paid attention to John.

I love Audrey Hepburn and there are many to choose from...but this beats Breakfast at Tiffanys just because I do love the original play Pygmalion by GB Shaw.

I don't think I've ever laughed so much in my life. Saw it at the theatre with other actors (i.e. the play) but preferred this.

I'm not a fan of the Coen brothers, but Frances McDormand and William H Macy were so good, the screenplay so weird, the snowcovered landscape so poignant.- everything was just so uncommonly well done.
