        Shakespeare in Love (yeah, I know what and how you'll try to mock this, I hate Gwyneth as an actress), and yet this is the best ever RomCom of all times, and sometimes, when as witty as this, a RomCom can make the list, maybe.

            And the point of the exercise will be what? To let the spectators vote on whose list is better? If it wasn't so narcissistic, I'd say, like a character in some of your movies might: "Bring it on".

            I'd happily contribute to a general lists thread though.

              Jesus!
              This place has become so stiff and not what it used to be.

              There's no point, just for fun.
              It sure ain't fun anymore so forget it.

                "The point" is surely to allow people like me to come onto threads like this and announce that almost certainly, "Crocodile Dundee" (which is on at the moment on Channel 4) would be among my top 50 films of all time, by any measure.

                The premise, the cinematography, the soundtrack (which, by the way, is wonderful) ....

                Definitely. Certainly the cinematography, and the soundtrack. Which are both mesmerising.

                So come on you two, get your thumbs out of your arses, and enjoy. It's Christmas and I love you both.

                    I don't mind her. The movie's not particularly notable though.
