(Supposedly) Iconic Films

Just watching a programme on Channel 4 just now about the year 1982.

Film of the year was E.T and it set me thinking that I can honestly say that I have never watched this film.

Putting that aside, I thought what other films that fall into the iconic category have I not seen and suddenly thought about Top Gun.

Sure there must be others and that will spring to mind in the coming days, but what about everyone else  what supposed iconic  films have you still to watch guys ?

I’ve met somebody who had never seen any of the LOTR films. WTF!!!!!?

Slept through the first two, at the now shut Lighthouse Cinema, Aberdeen.

Wife loves them, but very much a marmite thing, due to it being fantasy.

Give me a paperback tale concerning a twenty-something Nottingham bicycle factory worker with grease under his fingernails, a rebellious attitude to authority, and who lives for a weekend of beer and fornication. Sillitoe’s the boy. 

The film of this is the best adaptation of a book I have seen.

Albert Finney nails the part of Arthur Seaton.

I might watch it this evening, and the early hours of tomorrow.

This box has many of the majors of “angry young men/new wave” [🤮for that clumsy attempt at genrefication..] but it’s about 2.5 times the price I paid for it years ago.

Puzzle: were Rita Tushingham and Wilko Johnson - around 1974 - ever seen in the same room at the same time?

First the Belmont, then this.

Flashbacks to coming back after my uni placement to discover the palace, amadeus and Glow 303 were no more
