It is very hard for me to rank films, and I suspect that I will have forgotten the names of several I would want to nominate. Anyway, here goes: 'Bringing Up Baby'; 'The Big Sleep'; 'Some Like it Hot'; 'Spirited Away'; 'The Commitments'. Thank you for all your updates and I am looking forward to the results of your survey.
I have just remembered a film I wanted to include - 'The Miracle of Morgan's Creek' ( 'Ignatz Ratskywatsky' must be my favourite name of all time!) You can knock off the last one of the above list and substitute this.
I'm afraid that that only has one vote at the moment unless there are some late voters coming in. Anyway there are so many good films nominated plus some I have never heard of that I am going to feature them in turn during 2025 so, at some stage, this substack will feature Die Hard 1😃
I was disappointed that nobody nominated PulpFiction - Bruce Willis is great in that as well! Here's a clip for you
I agree with Dusty Petal 😁 My resolution is to not make resolutions.
Thanks as ever Dusty. Great look back at your top pieces. You could almost rerun them all from the beginning; there’s so much good stuff and it might be interesting to see whether we really have made progress.
Hmm interesting idea. I may do the occasional re-post ( or perhaps part of a previous post) so that readers can look back on what was happening then and, as you say, assess whether we have progressed from there.

The Fifth Element
Fury
Singin' in the Rain
A Song is Born
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Make of that what you will! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Thanks for the nominations, Jeremy.

Thanks for the nomination of a film , Petal.

Dusty

I'm going with Die Hard 1 - I think that's the best one😁
Dusty
That’s probably the only one I’ve ever watched !

You're welcome, TT.
