GRAPHIC CONTENT
What we’ve been talking about With the Glasgow Film Festival opened by those cine-obsessed siblings the Coens and Hail, Caesar!, their homage to classic Hollywood, we wondered what people might choose as their top film from that Golden Age. Well, we can wonder no longer, as the below seems a fair representation of Tinseltown’s finest hours
CASABLANCA It makes me feel . . .
emotions.
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?
It’s a rare case where the two leading roles are both female
and with two actors who clashed
in real life as much as their
characters did within the movie. From a female perspective, it’s very close to the bone stuff.
THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE
The fantastic John Huston
film that Paul Thomas Anderson says heavily
influenced his masterpiece There Will Be Blood.
ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS
Cary Grant as a hard-bitten pilot
drives Jean Arthur round the bend!
THE SEARCHERS
Coming nearly 20 years after John Ford and John Wayne worked together on Stagecoach, it’s not just an exploration of the classic Western themes,
but comes with added darkness that rather turned Pappy and the Duke’s earlier works on
their head.
BRINGING UP BABY Cary Grant as a geeky
palaeontologist is driven
round the bend by Katherine Hepburn!
2 THE LIST 4 Feb–7 Apr 2016
SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS
For a movie that is essentially about kidnapping and the
realities of Stockholm syndrome, the musical numbers and jazzy
dancing make it a real treat. Bless
her beautiful hide indeed!
VERTIGO
It still leaves me in awe. Arguably the greatest film ever made, not just in the
Golden Age.
HIS GIRL FRIDAY Cary Grant as a cynical editor drives everyone round the
bend!
PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE
I suspect some stuffy folks would deem to
be undeserving of the accolade. Well, I
disagree, and I’ve seen it about 50 times.
I WAS A MALE WAR BRIDE
Post-WWII Europe drives Cary Grant round the bend!
HIGH NOON
I have a very fond memory of watching it one evening with my dad in a Travelodge
while we split up a long journey. It’s so good I
don’t even prefer the sci-fi
remake (Outland).
