Sam Neill top 10 movies 1. In the Mouth of Madness(1994) - portraying a writer who might going crazy or is the world going crazy or is he stuck in a timeloop? Good stuff Honorable mention to: Merlin, Peaky Blinders(2 seasons) and Reilly: Ace of Spies(which I watched on PBS 40 years or so ago)

Sam Neill top 10 movies (cont) 4. Possession(1981) - everyone is nuts in this one and one scene with Isabelle Adjani has to be seen. 3. Dead Calm (1989) - fantastic thriller with a wacky Billy Zane and Nicole Kidman. 2. Jurassic Park (1993) - He is the emotional center of the movie. (3/4)

Sam Neill top 10 movies (cont) 7. The Hunt for Red October(1990) - still the best Tom Clancy thriller and everyone was acting their ass off. 6. A Cry in the Dark(1988) - A dingo ate my baby. 5. The Piano(1993) - A weird but very good movie (2/4)

Sam Neill top 10 movies 10. Attack Force Z (1983)- pretty good even with Mel Gibson 9. Event Horizon(1997) - flipping bonkers science fiction movie 8. My Brilliant Career(1979) - him and Judy Davis were very good in this one. (1/4)
