You`re right, I`ll correct it. Strangely enough the film with Bronson has Delon in it as well, playing a vicious cowboy with a scar on his lip.

I watched Le Cercle Rouge, I preferred Melville's Le Samourai really good movie, also with Alain Delon.

Aw, shit. Don't let my secret out. I'm a sheeple.

Halloween (original). The first Horror film I ever saw and still one of the most efficient pieces of film making ever.
The Elephant Man. Some of the best acting in a film I have ever seen. Both hauntingly beautiful, saddening and supremely optomistic at the same time.
Shadowlands. A measured study in quite restraint from Anthony Hopkins. Heartbreaking.
Withnail & I. The greatest film ever about drinking and the most quotable film ever.
The Long Good Friday. The best British gangster film by far. Tough as nails with a mesmeric performance by Bob Hoskins.
Taxi Driver. Alienation and depression has never been done better before and since. simply stunning.
Bob Le Flambeur. The coolest film ever made and 5 years before that other icon of cool French cinema A Bout De Souffle.
The Godfather I & II. The greatest dramas ever put on film. You try and split them apart.
The Matrix. Mercilessly ripped off since this is still of the finest action movies ever made.
Solaris (remake). Hypnotic and underplayed superbly by all concerned. Cerebral without losing sight of the human aspect of the story.
The Terminator. You are 12 and you see this machine mercilleslly track it's victim amidst a neon Los Angeles. It still absolutely kicks arse.
2001:A Space Odyssey. The greatest sc-fi film ever made with the best ever jump cut. In one shot Kubrick did more than most directors do in a lifetime.
An American Werewolf In London. An American captures EXACTLY the Brit sense of humour replete with astonishing F/X, jet black humour and jenny agutter

George A Romero's 'Of The Dead' series. Unbelievably intelligent yet gory horror films full of classic set pieces.

I didn't realise how many films I love! I have barely scratched world cinema and classic Hollywood stuff!

Gregorys girl was filmed in my hometown

Here's my top 10... I sadly don't get around to watching a lot of movies nowadays.

Silence of the Lambs
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Being John Malkovich
Amélie
Children of Men
La Vita e Bella (Life is Beautiful)
Shaun of the Dead
Pulp Fiction
A Clockwork Orange
LOTR

And here are some movies that I've seen and liked but would probably like a lot more if I watched them for a second time... basically, films which might make it onto my list upon rewatching.

The Fountain
Jacob's Ladder
Big Lebowski
Papillon
Chinatown
