You might jest, but it's actually a brilliant satire. The 'it's afraid' line with Doogie Howser M.D. Is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.Starship Troopers.

Love The LadykillersThe Ladykillers. Excellent film.
If talent like Guinness, Sellers, Lom, (and Frankie Howerd and Jack Warner) were in the same film these days it would win all sorts of awards. The film won BAFTA's but no Oscars IIRC.
And an honourable mention for The Good the Bad and The Ugly.
I was just about to say the same.Serenity.
Manhunter is truly brilliant, much better than The SOTLMy own favourites....and cryptic clues
Manhunter: Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecter with a sharpie and a roll of toilet paper.
Last Train To Busan: Korean Zombies don't eat their kids
Gone Baby Gone: The Affleck boys did good...great twist...or is it?
Atonement: Dr Strange does the backdoor dirty.....and what an ending part2.
Somethings Gotta Give: Jack falls in love and she turns down Keanu.
City of God: A Brazilian Rocket....2.30 hours of brilliant story telling
The Hunt: Proves even if your innocent, there's always someone with a gun who doesn't believe you!!
Neither of these two films are remotely under rated and both seen as classics.The Ladykillers. Excellent film.

I agree that they are quite rightly regarded as classics now, but at the time neither film received an Oscar. I don't think the Good the bad and the ugly received a nomination (unless the honorary award 40 years later counts).Neither of these two films are remotely under rated and both seen as classics.
Fair enough but it's been a long time since anyone thought an Oscar was a sign of greatness.I agree that they are quite rightly regarded as classics now, but at the time neither film received an Oscar.

Not as good as the original.Rita, Sue and Bob too
Yes excellent film. Palance very menacing in the hoodlum role. Jack was also superb in the WW2 film Attack ! as the heroic seargeant let down by his cowardly commanding officer.Panic in the streets - Jack Palance's first film. Also directed by Elia Kazan (On the waterfront).
The Ladykillers. Excellent film.

Another one for In BrugesIn Bruges - you will laugh and cry
Under Siege - terrible but I defy you not to enjoy it
Inbred - confirms everything you need to know about Yorkshire
