The Battle of Algiers (1966): One of the most influential political films in history, The Battle of Algiers, by Gillo Pontecorvo, vividly re-creates a key year in the tumultuous Algerian struggle for independence from the occupying French in the 1950s. As violence escalates on both sides, children shoot soldiers at point-blank range, women plant bombs in cafés, and French soldiers resort to torture to break the will of the insurgents. Shot on the streets of Algiers in documentary style, the film is a case study in modern warfare, with its terrorist attacks and the brutal techniques used to combat them. Pontecorvo’s tour de force has astonishing relevance today.

Das Boot (1981): 1942 and the German submarine fleet is heavily engaged in the so-called "Battle of the Atlantic" to harass and destroy British shipping. With better escorts of Destroyers and depth charges however, German U-Boats have begun to take heavy losses. "Das Boot" is the story of one such U-Boat crew, with the film examining how these submariners maintained their professionalism as soldiers and attempted to accomplish impossible missions, all the while attempting to understand and obey the ideology of the government under which they served.

The Man Who Would Be King (1975): This adaptation of the famous short story by Rudyard Kipling tells the story of Daniel Dravot and Peachy Carnahan, two ex-soldiers in India when it was under British rule. They decide that the country is too small for them, so they head off to Kafiristan in order to become Kings in their own right. Kipling is seen as a character that was there at the beginning, and at the end of this glorious tale. A tale of true friendship in all its facets, as well as a Masonic tale.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984): Adventurer/surgeon/rock musician Buckaroo Banzai and his band of men, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, take on evil alien invaders from the 8th dimension. And the closing credits were cool.

One of the most memorable scenes from a movie that stayed with me was close to the end of a Japanese film called Maborosi. The film centers around a woman whose husband had committed suicide, despite the fact he had apparently been very happy and very much in love with his wife and newborn son. Years later she remarries, but the mystery of why her first husband took his own life had continued to haunt her. Towards the end, her thoughts and feelings bubble up and overwhelm her and in a remarkable montage of small scenes shot among falling snow flurries, trees and the sea, she walks behind a stranger's funeral procession, buoyed only by her persisting grief and incomprehension.

Hands down, the scene in Field of Dreams where the little boy, the younger Doc Graham, steps across the baseline and transforms into the older version of himself. This, plus the part where everyone, alive and dead, realises that he can't go back, can't turn back into the little boy to finish the inning, invariably makes me tear up.

The Front (1976) : In the early 1950s Howard Prince, who works in a restaurant, helps out a black-listed writer friend by selling a TV station a script under his own name. The money is useful in paying off gambling debts, so he takes on three more such clients. Howard is politically pretty innocent, but involvement with Florence - who quits TV in disgust over things - and friendship with the show's ex-star - now himself blacklisted - make him start to think about what is really going on. Woody Allen was actually serious in this and waht he tells the special committee under questioning is priceless.

Death Race 2000 (1975) : Death Race 2000 is the finest example to show how easy it actually was back in the seventies to come up with a timeless cult film. Honestly, anyone could have invented an outrageously exaggerated premise like this but the fact that it was actually Roger Corman who dealt with it just proves how eminently he ruled the B-movie circuit back then. Death Race 2000 is one of the most entertaining films ever made and I, for one, can't imagine someone not loving the severely ridicule story of a coast-to-coast car race where the contestants score points by wiping pedestrians off the road. Silly, yes…but even more ingenious, flamboyant and offensive. Pure cult!

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

George attend's Harry's high school graduation party and is reintroduced to Mary. They get into a dance contest... and well... I'll let you watch the scene that I love the most. Oh, and for those who didn't know... Jimmy Stewart wasn't supposed to continue dancing... but he just kept going and it's why Donna Reed was laughing so hard. Oh... and "Mary's date"... is Alfalfa (from the original Little Rascals) all grown up.
