This would be a close second for me, behind only Superman Lives (1998).

4. Babe: Pig in the City (1998), starring Magda Szubanski, Mickey Rooney and the voice of E.G. Daily, directed by George Miller
One of the best ‘90s family films filled with heart, humour and a real sense of danger that can be found in so many of the classics of kid-centric cinema.

3. Topsy-Turvy (1999), starring Jim Broadbent, Allan Corduner and Lesley Manville, directed by Mike Leigh
A look behind-the-scenes of the work of one of the most successful theatrical writing teams ever. Written with Leigh’s quintessentially probing touch. Top-notch production design as well.

2. Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (2018), directed by Morgan Neville
A wonderful tribute to a legend of television that feels like taking a trip back to the old neighbourhood. Gets right to the heart of what made Fred Rogers such a natural as both an entertainer and an educator.

1. Waking Ned Devine (1998), Starring Ian Bannen, David Kelly and Fionnula Flanagan, directed by Kirk Jones
A delightful Irish comedy that proves even older folks never lose their childlike spirit. Ian Bannen and David Kelly are both terrific in this one.

Well, if I were you, I’d start with the animated 30-minute Grinch, then do Home Alone.
For something not on your list, you should start with Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas (1977). It’s a delight!

Happy 75th anniversary to the original Broadway production of Guys and Dolls! Seen here is a picture from a Summer Stock production of the musical that I was in six years ago. I’m playing Angie the Ox, the gambler in the green T-shirt. Here’s to plenty more years of crap games and Dulce de Leches!

Elliott’s particularly affecting in the scene where Brody is describing the powers hidden within the Ark to Indy. He’s so matter of fact about it, never once breaking character. Brody takes this completely seriously.

Denholm Elliott is one of my favourite character actors and his appearances as Marcus Brody in this and The Last Crusade (1989) are no different.
