sorry ace,had a late night last night wasnt feeling too good still a bit lovesick.

[Lizard]

12 Angry men, I,d forgotten about that, Henry Fonda! what a great movie that was!

[steve56]

white heat, cagney good one!!!

[DC]

On balance i'd agree there. Red Dragon is also a better book than those that followd i think.

[Caractacus]

If we're talking courtroom movies, Anatomy Of A Murder should be considered. James Stewart in supreme form as a defending lawyer. Nuff said.

[Jizabell]

Pinkie and all the other names inspired the Reservoir Dogs names!

Also The Lavender Hill Mob!

Both GREAT, British Films!

wasnt the sheriff of nottingham in that[brighton rock,alan wheatley]

[Caractacus]

And the classic Bad Day At Black Rock---not a western, whatever its name suggests---with Spencer Tracy and a whole posse of hard men (Robert Ryan, Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine).

Touch Of Evil, Orson Welles and a weirdly Mexican Charlton Heston.

robert ryan was good,what about the set up where he plays a boxer!ace will probaly know it.

[Ace]

Golden Gloves (1940) Robert Ryan actually WAS a tasty heavyweight boxer in the amateur ranks. My favourite scene of his was the 'All-American' Colonel in Dirty Dozen where Donald Sutherland winds him up inspecting the Colonels elite troops............man, I'd LOVE to do THAT!!
