  Don't forget "Manhunt in the African Jungles" starring Rod Cameron and supposedly the model for Indiana Jones etc. I own that set and the King of the Rocketmen.

  What memories.

    ...I know you mentioned The Manchurian Candidate last week as "being on your top 25 list."

    So I KNOW you got a list...

    Care to share what films you watch the most often?

    Thanks,

    Gary

        Hep,

        Ya know, I gotta add both Godfathers to my list of most watched as well.

        Great list, and with the excption of La Dolce Vita, Star Wars, The Shining and Blow Out, your list could be mine as well.

        Blood Simple, eh...well, I'll agree that it is as good a NEO-noir as there is. M. Emmitt Walsh's role is as slimey as anything Dan Duryea, Marc Lawrence or any of the other character actors of the classic period of noir ever pulled off. One exception might be the great Strother Martin, who wasn't in a lot of noirs, but he made sleazy an art form.

        All the best,

        Gary

    I had to leave off some great titles to narrow it to 10:

    The Secret Code
    Manhunt on Mystery Island
    Secret Agents vs the Black Dragon (the other Rod Cameron title)
    Dick Tracy's G-Men
    The Phantom
    SOS Coat Guard
    Secret Agent X-9
    The Masked Marvel

    ...and many more (continued next week)! ;^)

      I've never managed to see the final episode of Manhunt on Mystery island - can you suggest where I can get a copy of this serial, please ?

  AuPh,

  Thanks for the reply...we have some of the same films listed, but my favorite on your list is the Rory Gallagher Irish Tour '74...I'm a huge fan, and watch it/have watched it alot. A truly great performer.

  Good idea about the additonal catagories!

  All the best,
