Some great movies there and some I haven't seen. I must check them out. By the way DON'T bother with 2012. Fantastic special effects but that's about it.

Msg 31: Your number 2, is that an old black & white movie about truckers moving a dangerous load? If it is, I haven't seen it for many years, but agree it's a great film.

Bladerunner (Time to die!)



Blazing Saddles (Anybody move an the black feller gets it!)



Usual Suspects (Who is Kaiser Soze?)



Another day and the last two could change but I think Bladerunner will always be No 1 for me.

Well done Steve! I think that's our first "Clint" film And yes The Great Escape is a classic. Never tire of watching it. The poor little guy who became wire happy and was shot trying to escape ended up at the Crossroads Motel as a chef! Didn't do too much for his career that although I did see him in 633 Squadron.

And how about Steve McQueen driving his AC Cobra in the "Bullit" car chase sequence. The first time a car chase was shot inside the car I believe. And of course "Grand Prix" with the also late great Graeme Hill and others playing cameo roles.
