CRAIG ROBINSON First off, let me say that this is not my top ten films – sort of defeats the purpose of the list title, but then it’s my view that there are simply too many great films in existence, for all sorts of reasons for me to even consider trying to state […]
DEREK ALLEN The films that made the most impression on me would probably not have the same effect if I saw them to-day, as they are all from the Golden Age of Hollywood (1930 – 1940). My parents took me to see THE JAZZ SINGER, the first full-length movie with synchronised sound, but I […]
PETER REILLY Listed are my 10 most memorable films, all of these productions have left some unforgettable memories in my mind. 10. Silence Of The Lambs (Dir. Jonathan Demme 1991) An American thriller that blends elements of crime and horror, a young FBI officer seeks the advice of an imprisoned serial killer […]
CHARLIE CASELEY To be confined to ten films does make you go over all the movies you have seen over the last seventy odd years, still here goes in order. 10. On The Waterfront (Dir. Elia Kazan 1954) When I was young I lived close to London’s docklands and watched the docks […]
ALAN SMITH In no particular order: 1. Things To Come (Dir. William Cameron Menzies 1936) As a youngster I almost believed it. 2. It’s A Wonderful Life (Dir. Frank Capra 1946) A feel good film to end them all. 3. Great Expectations (Dir. David Lean 1946) Dickens as he should […]
COLIN JONES In no particular order: 1. The Summer of 42 (Dir. Robert Mulligan 1971) With most films the effect it has upon you depends partly upon your state of mind at the time. I found it profoundly moving as well as amusing as it captured the struggle of boys in early adolescence […]
FREDDY BEARD I have listed 5 films on the basis that if they come back on TV I try to see them although I know the stories backwards. Many on the list I also would have listed – like ET. You will notice that I don’t go to cinemas much now!! In no […]
MIKE TURNER I was born into a film fanatical family and we went to the cinema at least once a week, sometimes twice and occasionally three times. One of my happiest memories was joining the queue for the 1/6d seats at the Odeon Morden, Granada North Cheam or the Gaumont Rose Hill. My choice of […]
CHERIE HAMLET-SMITH Presented in chronological order and not in order of preference: 1. All Quiet On The Western Front (Dir. Lewis Milestone 1930) WW1 drama. An award-winning film portraying the tragedy of warfare during the ‘War to End All Wars’. 2. This Happy Breed (Dir. David Lean 1944) From one of […]
ANNABELLE LANCASTER I decided I had to give in to the pressure from Lee and write this before all my favourite films are mentioned by other people. I confess to not being a real film buff but I guess living with Reg for over 50 years was bound to have some effect! However, we […]
