m.a.n rules:
Shawshank redemption.whistle down the wind…
great expectations…
Great Expectations? Which production I wonder?
David Leans is excellent of course, but the 98 production I was pleasantly surprised by too.
To add some more to those already mentioned,
Apocalypse Now
Thelma and Louise
and less known
Lonely Hearts… from 2006.
The Man Who Wasn`t There (The Barber)… from 2001
Both might appeal to fans of film noir.
deffo david leans purely for john mills but like yourself enjoyed the remake…
Jack Nicholson at his finest in One flew over the cuckoo’s nest , The Shining , The Departed .
Ray Winstone in ■■■■ Beast , crime drama set in the Costa del Sol ,check out the 80’s style shell suits Brookside looking coolness .

Babel with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett , a holiday in North Africa results in an inter woven link to other people in other countries , a brilliant film , a must see .

Under the skin with Scarlett Johansson , I enjoyed this film , when she was driving the van around Glasgow picking up random men , they weren’t actors , no script , ad lib for that scene .

The special effects inside the council house of her victims drowning in fluid ,an alien storyline ,not everyone will like this film .
