TO readers' favourite London film announced

We have the results of our recent readers' poll concerning the greatest London film

Oct 19 2005

Earlier in the year we asked you to vote for your favourite London film, and following a staggering response the results have been published in this week's Time Out 'London Film Special'.

Gangster flick 'The Long Good Friday' was the runaway winner, John MacKenzie’s tense thriller about crooked investment in the East End clearly touching a nerve with the readers of TO.

The film features a powerhouse performance from Bob Hoskins, and those wishing to learn a little more about the production should turn to this week's magazine, which features an interview with the man himself about the film that made him a star.

Coming in second was Michelangelo Antonioni's '60s thriller 'Blowup', while the Michael Winterbottom drama 'Wonderland' came in at third.

Elsewhere, comedy ('Withnail and I'), horror ('An American Werewolf in London') and a second Hoskins gangster flick ('Mona Lisa') all make an appearance, while 'Notting Hill' receives the rather dubious honour of being voted both the worst London flick, and the ninth best.

On a more positive note, Mike Leigh's 'Naked', the Time Out writers' favourite London film (as revealed in this week's issue), also made it into the readers' top ten, proving that great minds do indeed think alike.

Those favourites in full:

1 'The Long Good Friday'
2 'Blowup'
3 'Wonderland'
4 'Withnail and I'
5 'Performance'/'An American Werewolf in London'
6 'Mona Lisa'
7 'The Last of England'
8 'Naked'
9 'Notting Hill'
10 'The Ladykillers'/'28 Days Later'
