Which one ? It’s Miami Vice isn’t it
Close but no it’s Phone Booth.
Imo In Bruges might be a dark horse for the comedy round.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

The apology afterwards is great as well."You're an inanimate f*cking object" cracked me up
“I want a normal gun for a normal person” or “I would never hit a woman. I would hit a woman who was trying to hit me with a bottle, that self defence.”

Yes I'm ok. Thank you.
Thanks
The alcoves.
Great choices at 1 and 4 there. I was thinking about M for my own list actually.
I loved that film but I haven't seen it recently and I wonder how well it has aged?
It’s so wonderfully weird, I think it’s timeless and easily holds up.
1: City of God.
2: Casino.
3: Godfather.
4: Silence of the lambs.
5: Dog Day afternoon.

If you liked it back then you'd probably still like it now. I watched it last year and still thought it was a great piece of work.
M is one of those movies I think everybody should see at least once. It’s amazing to me how relevant it still is, despite being from 1931. And even though I rate Metropolis very highly, I think M is Fritz Lang‘s best work.
And the interesting thing about you mentioning Dogville is how completely different those movies access the question of guilt and what it really is. They couldn’t be more different in that regard.
Saving this for comedy but fully expect it to be swept away by all the classics in the genre.
The way the dealer says dum dums will always be very funny to me. The guy makes it sound like a type of small chocolate treat and not bullets that explode heads.
Also Brendan Gleason character is has some killer lines.

"have a couple more c**t kids...."
Of course but it is amazing!
Tough one this, there's so many..
1. Godfather 2
2. Heat
3. True Romance
4. GodFather
5. Point Break

Some many good films missing the cut
Sexy Beast is a surprisingly good movie, reminded me a bit in tone of some of Ballard's later works like Super Cannes
Edit - Whatever happened to Jonathan Glazer?

Quality genre.
getting 5 films in this genre, is hard so many good ones, but even so there is a few that have risen to the top and stand out.
Never even thought of this as a crime film, but yeah thinking about it.
This one is such a tough round to narrow down to 5.
I think I'm going with -
1. Blue Velvet
2. A History of Violence
3. Taxi Driver
4. LA Confidential
5. The Usual Suspects
I think this might change again though...

Yeah, it's a true classic, both in terms of enduring quality and the influence it has had. (To the point where you can't see it anymore because its influences are everywhere and considered basic now.)
I'm not sure I would put it here actually, maybe rather drama. But it caught my eye because it's so awesome and unique, and yet it's mentioned relatively rarely (in things I read, anyway).
Another great line
For anyone that enjoyed In Bruges, there's a new film out this weekend at the cinema, written and directed by the same guy (Martin McDonagh) and starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson again.
The Banshees of Inisherin
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11813216/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_3
Just owns United now I think.
Really need a few more votes. 4-8 are all pretty much tied so don't wanna use metacritic scores...
There are too many to choose from, but I'll go for...
1. Seven
2. Heat
3. Goodfellas
4. Once Upon a Time in America
5. Pulp Fiction
1. Seven
2. Heat
3. Goodfellas
4. Once Upon a Time in America
5. Pulp Fiction
Seems to have done some apple adverts since Under The Skin and a short film called Strasbourg 1518
Also seems he is making a WW2 holocaust film.
Tbh I thought the sci fi was going to be the most difficult but with genre there just some many great films on the same level. Could pretty much just pick 5 Michael Mann films and it would be top list.
1. Goodfellas
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Heat
4. The Departed
5. The Godfather: Part II
Difficult.
Quite a few Chinatown selections - wouldn't the amended Thriller/ Mystery round be a better fit for that?

I’d argue Chinatown is peak Neo-Noir in the same fashion as No Country For Old Men is peak Neo-Western.
Sci-Fi and Horror for me, going to be tough to pick 5 in each.
1 - 12 Angry Men
2 - Prisoners
3 - Spotlight
4 - Inside Man
5 - Seven
2 - Prisoners
3 - Spotlight

One of my favourite movies.
I'm not even sure I'll attempt this list. It's impossible. I'd change it every day

feck it.
Heat
City of god
Man on fire
