Sorry But I “wood” bump Plan 9 up a notch…

maybe 2 notches.
I don’t have a prepared list, but off the top of my head:
Shawshank Redemption
Heaven Can Wait
Local Hero

They’re alphabetical. You’d need to change the title to move it up two notches.
“Man 9…”
Yes.
I will admit to the following (in no particular order),
UHF
Anne of Green Gables (1934)
The Gods Must Be Crazy
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1985)
Also, certain Spielberg movies from the era 1984-1989, and Trinity is Still My Name, were entertaining.
Top of my list would have to be Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Blazing Saddles
Enemy At The Gates

Quiz: it strikes me that one actor appears in three of the quoted movies. So I guess he’s my statistical favourite. Who is he?
I saw an absolutely fantastic film last week,which I must share with you- It is ‘Black cat,White cat’ by Yugoslav(?) director Emir Kusturica.
I saw it last week,at a local ‘Art cinema’-now you might think that a subtitled film with dialogue in SERBO-CROAT(! 
) might be a bit hard going or pseudo-intellectual,but this film is just one OUTRAGEOUS comedy! 
It’s about the dodgy deals of a community of fuel smuggling gypsies in the sanction torn Yugoslavia (now Serbia) of the early 1990’s.It’s hard to believe that such a great comedy could come out of an area of the world that was for years a constant source of terrible war and atrocity images.
The cast of larger than life characters is unbelievable,and the Gypsy music is toe tappingly great!
It’s not just me who enjoyed the film- when was the last time that you went to the cinema, and the audience cheered and applauded a film?
I enjoyed the film so much,that I managed to track it down on video the other day(it isn’t available on dvd-Amazon have the video) and watched it through the other night and laughed my head off again!
I HIGHLY recommend this cinematic Gem!
Speaking of ‘Cinematic gems’ I saw the film ‘Tadpole’ the other day,which is about a 15year old intellectually precocious boy,who is in love with his 40 something step mother (well who wouldn’t be-she was played by Signourey Weaver).Set in New York,shot on digital,low key-very,very wryly funny.It only clocks in at an hour 18 mins,but is a real gem of a film.
