Greatest Films list

Total Film is stirring up trouble by releasing an idiosyncratic and fairly recent skewing list of top 100 films of all time.

Placing Goodfellas at the top of the list seems to be the hook that is catching the attention of various newswires.

In the spirit of this I will come up with my top 54 films to be arranged like a deck of cards (13 cards in 4 suits, plus 2 jokers)

The suits are hearts (blood/lust/romance), spades (witty/clever/sharp), clubs (war/conflict/adventure) and diamonds (classics/timeless), and the jokers are of course wild cards which don't fit anything else, yet trump everything.

I'll give each suit a different post so that this doesn't become one single monster post.
