01 Dave W (Whisky) Faves
Curtis and Poitier both bagged Oscars for their portrayal of two chain-gang prisoners, one black, one white. Forced to make their escape still manacled together, their fight for freedom through the swamps makes a powerful metaphor for the rampant racial hatred of the times. Great support cast too.

THE HUSTLER (1961)
Certification15 Our Rating
A talented young pool whizz-kid being groomed for the big time comes to grief when he falls in love. A downbeat drama with some brilliantly handled and atmospheric pool hall scenes and a low-life romance. Outstanding performances all round.
