ALAN SMITH

 

In no particular order:

 

1. Things To Come (Dir. William Cameron Menzies 1936)

As a youngster I almost believed it.

 

2. It’s A Wonderful Life (Dir. Frank Capra 1946)

A feel good film to end them all.

 

3. Great Expectations (Dir. David Lean 1946)

Dickens as he should be shown.

 

4. 3:10 To Yuma (Dir. Delma Daves 1957)

Great performances and it’s a western!

 

5. The Big Country (Dir. William Wyler 1958)

Fabulous opening sequence and yes it’s another western.

 

6. The Train (Dir. John Frankenheimer 1964)

Gripped me to the end.

 

7. Once Upon a Time in the West (Dir. Sergio Leone 1968)

Ennio Morricone created a score that still sounds fantastic.

 

8. Blood Simple (Dir. Joel & Ethan Coen 1984)

Coen Brothers classic.

 

9. Fargo (Dir. Joel & Ethan Coen 1996)

Coen Brothers again. Great stuff!

 

10. No Country For Old Men (Dir. Joel & Ethan Coen 2007)

More Coen Brothers with the scariest villain of all.
