CAMERON CROWE’S TOP 10 FILMS
Cameron Crowe has written two top 10 lists in the last few years – The first is the one he delivered to the British Film Institute. The second, a slightly different list, was given to Empire film magazine when they were polling the 500 greatest films of all time.
BFI list:
1. The Apartment (Wilder, 1960)
2. La Règle du Jeu (Renoir, 1939)
3. La Dolce Vita (Fellini, 1960)
4. Manhattan (Allen, 1979)
5. The Best Years of Our Lives (Wyler, 1946)
6. To Kill a Mockingbird (Mulligan, 1962)
7. Harold and Maude (Ashby, 1971)
8. Pulp Fiction (Tarantino, 1994)
9. Quadrophenia (Roddam, 1979)
10. Ninotchka (Lubitsch, 1939)
Empire film magazine list:
1. The Rules of the Game
2. The Apartment
3. Shampoo
4. Tootsie
5. Dr. Strangelove
6. Local Hero
7. Old Boy
8. Best Years of Our Lives
9. Some Like It Hot
10. The Royal Tenenbaums
Great to see ‘Shampoo’ making it on to one of these lists. It’s a 70s gem that seems to get lost in the shuffle these days.
