Birdman of Alcatraz
March 17th, 2010
|
IMDB rating: 7.90 Plot: As an inmate at Leavenworth prison, Robert Stroud has a series of confrontations with the guards and with the other convicts. When Stroud kills a guard, he is sentenced to be executed, and only his mother’s impassioned intervention gets his sentence commuted to life imprisonment, which he must serve in solitary confinement. As he serves out his sentence in boredom and despair, one day he finds a helpless baby sparrow in the exercise yard. Stroud soon takes a deep interest in caring for birds, which gives him a new purpose in life, but which also brings new conflicts with prison authorities. |

This is in no way a criticism, i love films, but the main problem with doing this is the time span, many people on this site may never have seen such great films like Casablanca, unless they are movie buffs, equally the older ones may not be interested in some movies that feature in the last year or two. I have a list of 100 movies that i love and can rarely just chose 10, but :
1. Its a Wonderful Life
2. Casablanca
3. Shawshank Redemption
4. Bringing Up Baby
5. The Philadelphia Story
6. Gladiator
7. Stagecoach
8. Seabiscuit
9. Gone With The Wind
10. Saving Private Ryan

I love "Amelie" and "Paris, je t’aime". Plus a couple of old French comedies.
Natalie V | Aug 08, 2007
Anyone’s list will be different, it is a matter of individual taste. I personally love the three colours trilogy and ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ would be on my list from that,
also..,
‘Jean de Florette and Manon de Source’ as one package,
Amelie,
The English Patient,
Reds,
The Pianist,
Downfall,
Howl’s Moving Castle,
Fargo,
and possibly Shawshank, which is one of yours.

2..braveheart.
3..troy
4..Rocky’s
5..Rambo
6..terminators
7..true lies
8..ghost
9..predator
10..titanic.
not necessarily in that order or preference,but the ones Ive enjoyed over the years,along with loads of others,including nearly all Jim Carey’s.

I agree with Shawshank Redemption,
Has any body seen Hell Drivers with Stanley Baker,
and Streetfighter with Charles Bronson.
Both really good films.
Whoops my age is showing.
DOREEN B | Aug 08, 2007
Lord of the rings, Starwars BORING (your better off watching full metal alchemist)
1. Saw 1,2,3
2. Snatch
3. The Prestige
4. Green Mile
……cant remember that last good film ive watched
envy1289 | Aug 08, 2007
1. Casablanca
2. GodFather P.1
3. Apocalypse Now
4. Shawshank Redemption
5. God Father P.2
6. Requiem For A Dream
7. LOTR Return of the king
8. Schindler’s List
9. City of God
10. The Departed
Some of those could be switched around but that is what I think.
On your list I haven’t seen #’s 7,8,10 so i can’t say. I think that cool hand luke is a great movie but i’m not sure if it deserves to be up there. Heat is a very good movie, not a great one. I don’t like On the waterfront but it is a classic. And Return Of The Jedi isn’t a classic in my opinion.
