TEN TOP

I have to confess that modern-day movies, including most of those that have been made in the last 30 years are not the sort of movies that I like. I don’t like the blood and gore, the fast-moving artificially induced action, the disjointedness In the hard-to-follow storyline which often seems to be all over the place.

I’m not overly enthused by the pension of modern-day movies toward violence, their focus on crime which the heroes may or may not overcome, and the dizziness that to my old mind leaves me spun out and not enjoying the movies at all.

There was no way that many of the modern DVDs were ever hired by myself, with Netflix being of no appeal whatsoever.

I do like some of the old cereals but won’t discuss those because that would get away from the topic of the question, being the 10 best films I have ever watched.

I’ll order them from 10 to one. please do not laugh at my selections and I understand if these are films about which you may have never heard.

A Town Like Alice

Gone with the Wind

The Hunt for Red October
