The Top Ten Movies in order are:

1.       Some Like it Hot (perfection!)

2.       High Noon (perfection!)

3.       Dr Strangelove (perfection, strange how often Peter Sellers and Kubrick are on my list)

4.       Top Hat (perfection)

5.       Hostile Hostages (aka The Ref) – the most under-appreciated comedy of all time!

6.       Fracture – the most under-appreciated how-did-he-do-it of all time!

7.       The Commitments

8.       A Clockwork Orange

9.       In Bruges

10.   The Lady Killers
