Cruel Destiny...

After making such a rip roaring introduction on Saturday, it is with great sadness that I announce the death of Dr. Sensual who appeared to drown in a pool of lube after one of his more orgiastic parties...it is with regret that we shall no longer be able to offer the sexual advice clinic for the time being so please no more emails on the subject as my right hand needs a rest after all your stories...

Today I present for your delictation and delight my 20 favourite films, please respond at will...

Piddy's Big Movie List! (in no particular order)

01. Brief Encounter - celia johnson and trevor howard, so typically typically english!
02. Casablanca - I always wanted to be Rick
03. Now Voyager - Bette Davis's finest moment
04. Jaws - the first and the best
05. Nightmare on elm st pt 1 - the daddy of all modern horror films
06. The English Patient - I just can't help crying every time i watch this one.
07. Jean de Florette - Classic French family drama
08. Manon des Sources - part two of Jean de Florette and equally magnificent
09. Cinema Paradiso - a very beautiful example of Italian cinema
10. Close Encounters of the 3rd kind - I just remember being in awe as the mothership made its appearance
11. Decalog - Kaslowski's 10 hour comment on Polish life, so so satisfying
12. Priscilla Queen of the Desert - Drag queens with attitude, excellent cinematography.
13. Until the end of the world - Wim Wenders 3 hour treat of love and sci-fi in the australian outback
14. Romeo and Juliet - Baz Luhrman's exciting and visionistic version. Shakespaeare with bollocks!
15. Muriels Wedding - one of the best Australian films ever made
16. Picnic at Hanging Rock - the other best Australian film ever made...simply beautiful and atmospheric
17. True Romance - violence in extremes but a bloody great film
18. Pulp Fiction - a work of art which i can watch over and over again
19. Magnolia - Tom Cruise as the chauvanistic sex therapist is outstanding, this P T Anderson film has to be near the top of my list.
20. The Usual Suspects - Everything was just so right about this film, Brian Singers masterpiece.

I hope you enjoyed that, I could have gone on for hours but I thought i might give you all a chance to have a go...

nice list steve, i forgot about 21 grams, what a magnificent film. Thought Unfaithful was an unusual choice, saw it but didn't really make much of an impact.

okay so the doctor didn't die, he just fled to South America where he is now a Colombian drug lord living on millions from narcotic deals, but i didn't want to bring up the sliminess of the reality! lol
