A British great at the UMR, nice.
I’ve seen 10 of the 44 films on the chart, less than I thought. My favorites – The Lady Vanishes, The Innocents, Battle of Britain and The Dam Busters.
The Lady Vanishes is my favorite pre-Hollywood Hitchcock film, watched it many times. Battle of Britain is my all time favorite war movie. The Innocents is one of my top favorite ghost story movies, and still very spooky nearly 60 years later.
I don’t think I’ve seen all of The Hill, just a few scenes. I should sit down and watch all of it next time it’s on TV. Sean Connery is very proud of that film.
Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
