Free of income tax, old man. Free of income tax!"

6. Out of the Past (1947)

Robert Mitchum at his finest. Also a brilliant film entrance by Kirk Douglas, who died aged 103 this year...

Meta Carson: "Do you always go around leaving your fingerprints on a girl's shoulders? Not that I mind particularly. You've got nice strong hands."

7. 12 Angry Men (1957)

claustrophobic and brilliant

Juror #9: "This gentleman has been standing alone against us. It's not easy to stand alone against the ridicule of others. So he gambled for support - and I gave it to him."

9. Breaker Morant (1980)

True story. We like to think we're "the good guys", but war is hell...

Morant: "It's a new kind of war, George. A new war for a new century. I suppose this is the first time the enemy hasn't been in uniform. They're farmers. They come from small villages, and they shoot at us from behind walls and from farmhouses. Some of them are women, some of them are children..."

Marlowe: "This past spring was the first that I felt tired and realized I was growing old. Maybe it was the rotten weather we'd had in L.A. Maybe the rotten cases I'd had. Mostly chasing a few missing husbands and then chasing their wives once I found them, in order to get paid. Or maybe it was just the plain fact that I AM tired and growing old."

Re: Casablanca, here are the plots that can be traced back in some shape or form to Aristotle in ancient Greece.

1. Cinderella. Rick, an expat Yank bar-owner in wartime Morocco, begins as a d*unken cynic but his 'essential goodness' is at last celebrated.

2. Achilles. Like the Greek warrior, the proud, 'fatally flawed' Rick - once a doer of great deeds - spends most of the story sulking in his tent. He is forced into selfless action only for the sake of the refugee Elsa, the woman he loves.

3. Faust. Rick's good looks, fame and wealth are Faustian and gratuitous. Inevitably, Rick's debt is called in and he gives up his business, his girl and everything he has lived for.

4. Tristan. Manly Rick (Tristan) loves and is loved by sultry Elsa (Isolde) but she is already married to wimpish Victor Lazlo (King Mark).

5. Circe, or 'The Spider and the Fly.' Elsa's wiles entice Rick into her service only to destroy him.

6. Romeo and Juliet. Once, in Paris, Rick and Elsa loved and lost each other. Here, in Morocco, they get back together but are finally parted again.

7. In a concrete sense the 'Gift Taken Away' plot is a Letter of Transit which would enable Rick to go back to America but which he is forced to give up to Lazlo. More symbolically, the gift is of personal happiness and is sacrificed to political necessity, since to save Lazlo is to save the world for democracy.

Some have identified a further two standard plots in Casablanca:-

8. 'The Irrepressible Hero' is Rick personified.

There is also a ninth archetypical story-line, 'The Wandering Jew.' Rick is, of course, the persecuted traveller who will never return home.

Thus, instead of seven, (or eight or nine...) stories, there is only one, and it is called Casablanca !

Yes it's a great film, not sure if it would get made today very intense tho, even in black and white you can still feel the searing heat of the sun as he is forced over and over again.

Jaws - saw it as a kid, it scared me (even Quint character scared me as much as the shark) excited me and in the end I had a thrill ride of emotions, over that film.

I have three film posters up in my front room.

Streets of Fire

Each has had an effect on me
