The 100 most inspiring films
Our son Richard and his fiancee Emily joined us today to celebrate Christmas and we spent much of the evening watching a special programme on the 100 most inspiring films as selected by the members of the American Film Institute.
Since I’m a massive movie fan, I’ve seen many of these films – but certainly not all. I was pleased to see my all-time favourite film “Lawrence Of Arabia” [my review here] in the list, but surprised that “Gladiator” [my review here] was not there.
No 1 on the list was the wonderful “It’s A Wonderful Life” [my review here]. What was striking was how many movies starring Sydney Poitier came up in the list.
