I’ve seen just 4 of the 16 films on the chart – Midnight Express, Angel Heart, Mississippi Burning and Pink Floyd The Wall.
I’ve probably watched Angel Heart the most from that list.
A good tribute page Bruce. Vote Up!

rip, love his mississippi burning, very timely subject matter
Tragic news about Sir Alan Parker. Each of his movies was drastically different from the other. I bet if you had somebody watch Evita, Midnight Express and Bugsy Malone nobody would guess it was by the same director.
His movies were great but I loved his ads with Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter for Cinzano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scOFAbQ3nXY
