All the films I’ve ever seen ‘T’

THX 1138
Directed by George Lucas. Started my interest in first films. A worthy exercise. First films are cheap, simple and well made.

The Tailor of Panama 2001
John Boorman rides again … directing Pierce Brosnan.

The Talented Mr Ripley 1999

Tarzan 1929-1999
How many have I seen? From Johnny Weismuller to Christopher Lambert, to George in the Jungle and that 60s/70s TV series.
The only place in Hallowell’s’ where you get a double page dealing with the single title.

Taxi Driver 1976

‘10’ 1979
Bo Derek

The Terminator 1974
Was it really this long ago!

Terminator 2: Judgement 1991

Tess 1979
Nastassja Kinski

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974
I have little desire to view thins kind of thing for entertainment, but feel from an educational point of view I must.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003
Ditto. Because a film that costs $9m to make, then takes $80m at the US box office is getting something right however much the critics hate it.

Thelma & Louise 1991

They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? 1969

The Thief of Baghdad 1940

The Thin Red Line 1998

The Third Man

Thirteen Days 2000
Cost $80m to make, took £34.5m. Oops. That’ll teach them to stick with the likes of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. i.e. never underestimate how crash the cinema going audience is.

The Thirty-Nine Steps 1978
(I should see the original 1935 version shot by Alfred Hitchcock)

This is Spinal Tap 1984

The Sporting Life 1963
Richard Harris looks right as a rugby player.

Thomas and the Magic Railroad 2000
Britt Allcroft committed a crime. She may own the Thomas franchise but she can neither write, nor direct … and therefore is no good as a producer either. Though adults find it loathsome five year old couldn’t give a toss and will sit through it several times.

The Thomas Crown Affair 1999

Thoroughly Modern Millie 1967
Julie Andrews and Mary Tyler Moore

Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machine 1965
Hooked me as a young child.

Three Colours: Blue 1993
Krzysztof Kielowksi writes and directs, Juliette Binoche stars and Zbigniew Preisner provides the music. A memorable delight.

Three Colours: Red 1994
Starring Irene Jacob

Three Colours: White 1993
Starring Zbigniew Zamachowski

Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down! 1989
Pedro Almodovar

Time Bandits 1981
The kind of silliness from Terry Gilliam that I enjoy.

The Time Machine 1960
From H G Wells. The time-lapse photography of a shop window through the ages produced to create the passage of time has stuck in my psyche since I was a boy.

The Time Machine 2002

Timecode 2000

Timecop 1994

The Tin Drum 1979

The Towering Inferno 1974

A Town Like Alice 1956

Toy Story 1995
As repeatable as Sunday lunch with the family. Satisfying, a family treat. Perfection.

Toy Story II 1999
Just as good, just as satisfying. If Toy Story is Sunday Lunch, then this is a cooked breakfast. You CAN have the same thing over and over again and still love it.

Trading Places 1983

Trainspotting 1996

The Tramp 1915
Charlie Chaplin classic

Treasure Island 1950
Robert Newton as the eponymous pirate.

The Trench 1999
Because of the subject matter. Not supposed to be very good.

Les Triplettes de Belleville 2002

Troy 2004

True Grit 1969

True Romance 1993
After this Christian Slater sadly went down hill.

Truly, Madly, Deeply 1990
I hate British films that look like they were made for television. What’s the point in leaving the house to see them?

Turner & Hooch 1989

Bruce Willis directed by Terry Gilliam
