For anyone wanting Italian food in London today, there are hundreds of venues to choose from. From what was Little Italy in Clerkenwell to the hub of Italian venues in Soho, the capital is awash with outlets serving pasta, pizza and other dishes. The history of Italian food and culture in the capital stretches back to the 19th century, when immigrant ice cream sellers (bottom right, an ice cream seller in 1877) flogged their wares on poverty-stricken streets. London's oldest delicatessen, Terroni of Clerkenwell (top right), which opened during the reign of Queen Victoria, is still trading today. As is the iconic Soho establishment Bar Italia (left, and inset recently), which was set up in 1949 to serve good coffee and act as a social hub for the capital's Italian community.

BRIAN VINER: If I compiled my list again today, I still wouldn't have space for The Italian Job, Forrest Gump, The Great Escape, or Titanic, which all of which encouraged readers to write in. By the way, that doesn't mean I don't like or even love those photos (although not Titanic), which makes me wish the iceberg would strike a bit sooner). Here is a list of the Top 20 movies you should have included in my Top 100 list, as well as your reasons for... The Shawshank Redemption (left), Mary Poppins (right), and Saving Private Ryan (inset).

I hope my list would bring you some good cinematic treats, or better still, introduce you to them. Happy viewing!

The wine cellar of La Tour d'Argent (top right), the oldest restaurant in Paris, is so popular that only customers who order the most expensive vintages or otherwise 'prove their interest' are allowed a guided tour. Members of the restaurant's fortunate few are then led into the restaurant's bowels by a member of staff wearing white tie and tails who chimes a copper bell to announce the visitor's arrival to the security men who guard its property round the clock.

Dustin Hoffman's teenage character, Benjamin, is given career guidance by his father's best friend, Mr McGuire, during a scene in the 1967 film The Graduate. Mr McGuire says, 'Just want to say one word to you.' 'Plastics!'A puzzled Benjamin: 'Exactly how do you mean?' Mr McGuire: Plastics have a long future.' Consider it.' Any modern Mr McGuire would say 'plastics.' Not if he'd been following the Covid inquiry in London for the first few weeks. He'd grab Benjamin and say: 'Law! It's a good thing that it has.' And if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself and your career, he'd be right.
