Our local 'art-house' cinema held a competition for appropriate double bills. I was somewhat perplexed when my suggestion of 'Train-spotting' and 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie' was met with a deafening silence...

Some good ones above. My daughter's a film editor and for my 60th in 2009 she gave me a DVD for each decade of my life so far. The Seventies was Chinatown. I would add Barry Lyndon to the list - also one of her favourites (+ Schubert Piano Trio).

+ Mean Streets, Apocalypse Now

and three absolute favourites:
The Conversation
Truffaut: Day for Night
Fellini: Amarcord
