yeah I'm not getting it either,  it was good but I don't think it's even the best Daniel Craig film and definitely not, in my opinion, better than some of the others. 

It goes full-on Home Alone at the end.

The Big Lebowski
There Will Be Blood
The Italian Job
In Bruges
Baby Driver
Donnie Darko
LOTR: The Two Towers
Princess Mononoke
Logan
No Country For Old Men
Porco Rosso

 

I'd expect a potential 40% change every time I'm asked for this list but that's what I've got now ?

Haven't heard of a single one of those.

Not even Cabaret? Big Oscar-winning film. That’s interesting. I admit that the others could be seen as left field choices. I’d really recommend Army Of Shadows to anyone on here. Brilliant war/espionage thriller.

Dunno.

I've never intentionally watched an entire film twice and I really can't think of any that have made any sort of lasting impression on me.

I mean I've watched films (although not the majority of those mentioned here), and thought hey that was really good, obviously, but they're just films and I feel no personal or lasting connection to any of them

Fair enough. Each to their own I guess. I help run an independent cinema so I watch a lot of films a lot of the time.

I'd never heard of Army of Shadows but it looks amazing so I've ordered the DVD.

Which cinema do you help run? I ran a community cinema for 9 years.

Ah, I think I saw the musical on stage, years ago. Can’t remember what happens though.
