Kind Hearts and Coronets barely making the Top 50 alone disqualifies the list, but not having My Man Godfrey in the Top 25 is truly wrong. The Great Dictator (a great movie) ahead of The Gold Rush or Modern Times? And no Drunken Master 2, or any of his 80s classics with Sammo Hung and Yuen Baio? No!

When I was still doing junkets, I had a hard and fast rule: don't be a fanboy.

Easy as pie. An FBI senior agent (Kevin Costner), and T (an AI Sean Connery), the head of MI6's training department, go through the ranks of MI6 trainees to select the next 007 (code name James Bond). Then we can have all the potential future Bonds all on screen, and the movie ends with...
