My Top Twenty Films Everyone Should Watch

Not For me what makes a great film is one of three factors, the premise, the cinematography, and the entertainment factor. For a film to be great it has to have all of these, with this in mind I thought I’d do a list of what my top twenty films are, so here we go in no order:

​Meet Joe Black – Anthony Hopkins and a brilliant premise, what’s not to love.

Warhorse – genius cinematography, more like poetry in motion than a film.

The Godfather – no words needed.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy  – brilliant cinematography, brilliant story. Exactly what an epic should be.

The Bourne Identity  – love the filmmaking style.

Equilibrium – brilliant premise and cool fight scenes.

Saving Private Ryan – brilliant story.

Fury – brutal but does the job.

A View to a Kill – Roger Moore, Christopher Walken, a fire engine chase, and a blimp, no more needs to be said. Great fun.

Commando – Arnold Schwarzenegger at his best.

Schindler’s List – one of the most powerful stories in history.

Twelve Years a Slave – powerful story brilliantly told.

Standoff – simple premise but brilliantly put together.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas – watching this will make you see the world in a different way.

Tom and Jerry Episode 29 – the Cat Concerto  – a cat, a mouse and a piano. Genius.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day – Best of the terminator series.

Zoolander – has to be watched, hilarious.

Avengers: Infinity Wars – the ending alone makes it worth watching.

Taken – great action, great dialogue, Liam Neeson at his best.

Star Wars: A New Hope – no top film list is complete without this in it.
