Not at all BC though people like to think so. Already you attracted 3 or 4 responses and you know how easily things can get derailed. I just don't think it's necessary. You are one yourself to complain about the subject being done to death.

Fair enough...your thread and your call.

LOTR x 3

Actually Zulu is a ripper.

Shawshank Redemption, Gallipoli....

Yep, and the Black and White adds to it.

I had a think about Gallipoli , yep OK not bad but for me it had a few too many inaccuracies and cliches in it to really get up there.

I almost put 1917 in there for an outstanding new one.

Here's a couple of Aussie greats. Breaker Morant and The Odd Angry Shot with Graham Kennedy and Graham Blundel (aka Alvin Purple).

The Great Escape
Grease
Back to the Future

It's amazing how easy it is to forget looking at everyone's nominatiins.

Ferris Buelers Day Off was hilarious. Mathew Broderick and Jennifer Grey.

Stripes - Bill Murray and the Colonel

An Officer and a Gentleman - what a movie no doubt has inspired a lot of young people to join the air force, navy and army cores all over the world.

Might have to change my top ten.

would probably add both of The Godfather & Godfather 2
there is some seriously good acting and pretty decent casts especially the first

To add to my earlier 3
The Bourne Identity
In the Name of the Father
Mission Impossible (The first with Tom Cruise)
Born on the 1st of July
Forrest Gump
The silence of the lambs
