Bullwork Top 10: Best films of the last Boomers

Films I wish my daughters' generation would see


No. 1 Little Big Man. How the West was really won.

No. 2 In the Heat of the Night. Sidney Poitier bitch slaps a racist plantation owner.

No. 3 To Kill a Mockingbird. Gregory Peck was the main man of dignity in Baby Boomer cinema.

No. 4 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Why Jack Nicholson is more than an icky old guy at the Lakers games.

No 5 The Deer Hunter. Coming home is the hard part.

No. 6 Dog Day Afternoon. Al Pacino loses his cool.

No. 7 Sleeper. Woody Allen imagines a future dystopia.

No. 8. The Birds. Alfred Hitchcock get his creepy on.
No. 9. Zulu. Michael Caine makes his big screen debut; need I say more.

No. 10. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Peter Sellers plays several roles in this Cold War classic.
