I really needed a top 25

I'm obviously very odd. Movies and the cinema have never held any fascination for me.

I tried to work out when my last visit to a cinema was but couldn't be certain - it was so long ago.

The film was "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". I took my son when he was about 10 or 11. He is now 42!

Anyway, I don't recognise any of the titles above except "The Last of the Mohicans", "High Plains Drifter" and "The Seven Samurai" - but I don't think I watched (TV re-runs) any of them to the end.

Does this make me a bad person?

Greybeard, you surpassed bad by a country mile long, long ago. I would put you in the realm of, oh, I don't know, maybe super bad?
Or maybe super freaky bad? Extra super freaky bad?
Yeh. That's it. Extra super freaky bad, incarnate. Or maybe the quintessence thereof.

Top ten is a tough one, but I'm betting I'm older than CL_R1.

1. Cool Hand Luke
2. The Pawn Broker
3. Sorcerer
4. Blue Thunder
5. American Beauty
6. The Wild Bunch
7. The Magnificent Seven (screw the 7 samurai!)
8. The In laws (the original)
9. Harold and Maud
10. Where's Papa?
11. Marathon Man
12. The Boys From Brazil

E-dog
and yes Jer, that was a joke.
