Films and TV that you love!

[Master Ray]

OK, guys, this forum is going a bit quiet, so I'm going to start a new thread, hope you'll post back... FILMS AND TV!

I think it's been done before, but it seems that the previous thread is now lost, so I'm starting a new one.

I'm a huge film fan, but there are so many great TV shows currently running... I really think that TV is better than movies at the moment. So many good shows out there right now!

So I'm gonna post three top-5 lists (please bear in mind I'm a sci-fi nerd)...

TOP 5 TV RIGHT NOW...

1 - Game Of Thrones
2 - Breaking Bad
3 - Doctor Who
4 - Broadwalk Empire
5 - Sherlock

TOP 5 TV OF ALL TIME (IMO)

1 - Firefly
2 - Twin Peaks
3 - Fawlty Towers
4 - Brass Eye
5 - Doctor Who (the old version)

Top 5 FILMS OF ALL TIME (again IMO)

1 - Once Upon A Time In America
2 - Fight Club
3 - Kes
4 - Dead Mans Shoes
5 - Serenity

So, whats your opinion?

[Shush]

Can we reply with just a film list, or just film and all time telly, I will struggle with five fav current telly. - the News maybe ?

[Shush]

OK Master Rayce, not an easy challenge.

Tried to do the current TV, but gave up. I could not condense down my fave films to five, so made a cross section of several genres down from a very long list to a list of 10.

All time TV


1--Mr Ben

2--Faulty Towers

3--The Singing Detective

4--Black Adder

5--Open All Hours

6--Only Fools and Horses.

7--The Nazi"s, a Warning from History

8--The War of the Century

9--The World at War.

10--The Prisoner


All time Films


1--The Dead of Night

2--The halfway House

3--The haunting (original)

4--Terminator 2

5--Cloverfield

6--Where Eagles Dare

7--Cross Of Iron

8--Privates Progress

9--Duel

10--Midnight Cowboy.

Ashamed to say I never got into THE WIRE (although I think that Mr Elba is, quite frankly, a God of an actor) so consider it the next choice on my watchlist.

I started this thread so I could get to grips with what like-minded folk are watching.  I trust your opinions and I've got a lot of time on my hands right now, so bring 'em on!  Especially if they're on Netflix which I'm watching a lot right now because I figured how to hook up my laptop to my TV.

What else you into?

Once I got my ear tuned in to the accents, I found The Wire to be really good and deffo in my top 5 list of all time. I also enjoy a bit of Nordic Noir, one to mention is Lilyhammer.

Cheers

Yes. I would love to see the lists of   the band members 

Maybe people could customise it more to their preferred media, book lists maybe ?

Wierdly, I've been recently watching Youtube clips of Pipkins, which I watched when I was a little'un... I don't remember it as being so oddly disturbing...

I take your re-runs of Bullseye and I raise you repeats of 3-2-1 on Freeview...

[Barty]

love your concept of current telly Barty,, you can't beat a bit of bully 

It's an all time classic. "Bring back the couple from the first episode...I bet they'll have a gamble...what d'ya reckon Tony?"

Green's on the new series hosted by Dave Spikey - he's still wearing his 1983 sky blue jumper and slacks set.

Yes Master Ray, I've also been watching Pipkins on YouTube - to show my kids. I had to turn it up as I could Hartley Hare it 

321? The most confusing quiz ever broadcast. The poetic clues, the world's first wheelie bin, the out of work actors....Saturday night TV was seriously weird in the early '80s.

I take your re-runs of Bullseye and I raise you repeats of 3-2-1 on Freeview...

Oh yes, 3-2-1, with the lovely Carloline Munro, top 70s Babe, star of the film classic, At the Earths Core, and an appearance in, The spy who loved me.
