I've never heard of any of these. |

How did this make the polls and some of mine didn't? Just kidding, to each his own. But I voted no opinion. |

How recent are your poll suggestions ? This one was proposed on 28 Nov 2011. A lot of P&P's films had a military theme – the court scene in heaven in a Matter of life and death is in many ways a salute to the allied forces, and a big slap on the back to Bomber Command (who lost 55,000 aircrew) in particular. It's also a superb film. |

Anything starring Anthony Quayle is going to be worth watching, and HMNZS Achilles starring as herself is my all-time favorite movie credit, so it's Battle of the River Plate for me. Rick |

I also have to say I've never heard of any of these. |
| 20thmaine | 25 Sep 2014 7:00 a.m. PST |
I am moderately shocked. At least four of those films are widely regarded as all time classics. |
| nazrat | 25 Sep 2014 7:19 a.m. PST |
Ah, A Matter of Life and Death was called Stairway to Heaven in the US. I have long regarded it as a classic and have voted accordingly. |

I voted for Black Narcissus… its a visually compelling film, and the story, though perhaps a bit old fashioned in some ways by today's standards, is interesting enough. Nuns forced to examine who they really are, and who they are not. Ah, Sister Ruth….. link Chalfant |

That would be my number 2 choice ! |

If it wasn't for this : link Ah…Technicolour!
Yes June I'm bailing out. I'm bailing out, but there's a catch – I've got no parachute.

I think its difficult for (most of) us to realize just how dramatic color movies were when first introduced. This poll list might be construed as a "movies you need to see if you have not already" list too. Chalfant |

Good grief, I can't believe that some folks have never even heard of these great films. The Archers made so many fine films, but I had to vote for the superb "The Life & Death of Colonel Blimp". |
| 20thmaine | 28 Sep 2014 11:32 a.m. PST |
@Cardinal Hawkwood – I love that film. Would be my 4th choice (probably!) |
 Saginaw | 29 Sep 2014 4:57 a.m. PST |
Another vote for '49th Parallel'! 
|
| TunnelRat | 29 Sep 2014 5:10 a.m. PST |
Voted for the only one I had heard of – The Batte of the River Plate |
| genew49 | 29 Sep 2014 7:11 p.m. PST |
Hey Saginaw, with your vote we moved into sole possession of 7th place! |

For some polls there ought to be an option of "I do have an opinion, but I cannot pick just one." |
