Not saying you shouldn’t like it, but I thought Harry Brown was a nasty film.
Like it? I can't even remember it. Was he some sort of old man vigilante, or am I getting mixed up with something else? If so, that doesn't sound my cup of tea at all. Not sure why it's on that list, I guess must have recently seen it, but it's nothing to me now. I stick by the other four though.
number 1 by a mile is The Man Who Would Be King. A masterpiece.
Other than that I’d go for:
educating rita quiet american zulu Harry Brown, although it’s a hard watch as he looks and acts so much like my dad it brings a tear to my eye. My dad was also called Maurice, was born the same year and got mistaken for him a couple times in the 60s when suited and booted. My dad also had no parents and didn’t know his dad. I’ve often wondered if Michael Caine dad had a roving eye.

It certainly showed the seedy side of life, but I did like him in the film!

There is a great scene in Harry Brown when the drug dealer tries to shoot Harry, but the gun jams - Harry shoots drug dealer and says ‘you failed to maintain your weapon, son’

Did you know that the bloke who shoots Carter at the very end is sitting in his compartment on the train up to Newcastle at the start.
As someone once said, not a lot of people know that!
