Ooh that’s a struggle…

What are your top ten favorite movies?

As I’ve probably stated many times previously, I don’t watch a great deal of television or cinema. The last time I went to a cinema was on my 50th and that’s getting on for ten years ago now.

Most of the films I rate were what I viewed in my childhood and a number were influenced by what my parents liked to watch. As a sixties child a lot of those films were “War” based films as the 2nd World war had only ceased some 19 yrs before my arrival on the scene.

So here are 10 films (I may struggle to get that many) that feature in my top ten but in no particular order:

  • The Dam Busters
  • The great escape
  • The Glenn Miller story
  • Robin and the seven hoods
  • Priscilla Queen of the desert
  • The exorcist
  • American werewolf in London
  • Jaws
  • Close encounters of the third kind
  • Saturday night fever

Quite a range I’d say, and pretty much nothing falling within the last 20 years or so reflecting the fall from personal grace of this entertainment medium, in my personal point of view.

Now… make that a question about radio and I can go on, and on, and on….you get it 😂

Have a great day.

  4. Dear Balders
    It’s beyond imagination to see such novel ideas expressed in your posts. I am always impressed.
    Thanks a lot for liking my post, ‘Pygmalion’ 🙏 😊

  6. Never got on with the ‘pick a favourite’ notion; it forces you to be exclusionary. Anyway I agree with the first three, and then … I get too old. I have lots of ‘favourite’ movies. Couldn’t narrow the list down to 10 even if I wanted to.
