Bonnie and Clyde

I was a bit hasty with mine. I should have included this. Thought of it afterwards. 

[NoelM]

The Good, the bad and the Ugly 

Once upon a time in the West 

Planet of the Apes

Psycho

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

[VladimirIlyich]

Bonnie and Clyde.

Bullitt.

Cool Hand Luke.

The Ipcress File.

Grand Prix

 

[Tarwater]

Lawrence of Arabia.

Psycho.

The Wild Bunch.

Night of the Living Dead.

The Innocents.

 

I’m keeping the list english-speaking, as otherwise, Ozu’s last three films and a couple of Kurosawa’s would probably warrant a place. Can’t have them there foreigners complicatin’ things… Should perhaps be a separate competition for «foreign» films…

Incredibly tough to choose five. Bond movies not even taken into consideration, obvious ones that others have nominated, I’ve literally seen dozens that are brilliant pieces of cinema. Anyway. There we go.

 

[SasaS]

Happy that the best film of the 60s, The Wild Bunch, made it after all.

[Pidge]

Billy Wilder's best film just scraping in as well.

[easytoslip]

Kes

Whistle Down The Wind 

The Birthday Party

The Hill

King Rat

You could do a tournament on 1967 alone.

[Bjornebye]

Chance for a few more people to nominate. I’ll kick this off tomorrow , nominations in by 10pm tonight. I won’t count any after 10. Anyone who hasn’t voted either Kes or Oliver can bring their mates and they can bring their fucking dinner and all.

If we’re struggling for nominations, would it be worth letting those who have already submitted their top 5, add another five films?

Premature but I’ve been thinking about nominations for the 70’s. Impossible to narrow it down to five. I’d struggle if the decade was split in two. 
 

That’s going to be a tough old competition.

Hahahaha that whole football scene is one of my favourite scenes in any film. "What did you say, what did you say lad?"

I’ve been thinking the same about the 80s.

 

Would prefer more nominations each though, and keep it as one decade. The 80s is the decade when the majority of this forum fell in love with cinema I reckon, it’ll be impossible to narrow it down to 5. I would struggle to do it just with sci-fi films alone.

[Sugar Ape]

Where are you @Anubis to back up my Devil rides out shout? Tick tock.

Its just a nightmare for me collating them all if I do more than 5 per person mate

I’d be happy to count them up if you want Stig, as long as you still start and manage the thread. There will be too many bona fide classics that won’t even make the cut otherwise.

 

Still have the same number of films in the tournament, just drawn from a wider pool.
