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).

Harvey Elliott of Liverpool scored twice in the young Three Lions' 5-1 victory over Azerbaijan in a Euro under-21 qualifier in Baku, but the banner on the £125 jersey was not visible for the entire game. Harvey hasn't commented on the decision, but Liverpool do not have a collar on their famous red shirts, although they did have his collar on loan for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship, he didn't wear one. His decision to turn his collar up on the shirt's first outing for the national team came at a time when many people slashed the decision to make the red and white flags blue and purple. The FA has confirmed that it will not recall the shirt. MailOnline has confirmed that England's bungled football shirt was created 5,000 miles away by Nike executives in America. The pressure on the highly compensated executives who negotiated the 'abominable' updates to the St George's Cross is increasing. Critics have questioned whether a Oregon-based £122 billion company would have dared to change the colors of the Stars and Stripes on the US football jersey. "We're just a month from St George's Day, when we celebrate our Englishness in a new, encouraging way, just as Americans celebrate the 4th of July.' Mr Francois argued that Nike would not have dared do the same thing to the Stars and Stripes in the United States. 'In the words of John Wayne "Like hell they would! ".

On Sunday, the first two episodes of the documentary series premiered on Sunday, and actor Kyle Sulivan, who appeared on Nickelodeon's 'All That', talked about what he found out when he went to Brian Peck's (pictured left) home. "I remember, and at the time, I believe it was about two-and-a-half years ago, everyone went to Brian's house for a barbecue," Sullivan said. 'And his house was a little off.' Peck's house was packed with vintage toys, comic books, and a 'Planet Of The Apes shrine,' according to the actor, who was 14 years old at the time. Peck was in his 40s, and he was in his 40s. As unusual as the house already was for Sullivan, it was what he noticed next that was truly haunting - a painting signed by serial killer John Wayne Gacy (inset)

JAN MOIR (left): Jeremy King (left) is back where he belongs, sporting his latest restaurant (right), which also happens to be his old restaurant and, perhaps more importantly, was his first restaurant. From 1981 to 2000, the King of Arlington, Texas, operated it with his business partner Chris Corbin as Le Caprice. It was purchased by billionaire Richard Caring in 2005, who closed it three years ago due to the pandemic, but the name and plans to relaunch it in a London hotel were mischievous. However, it is no surprise that it was King Le Caprice's version that thrilled and delighted London. The opulent, the undeniably popular, and the indelibly royal became a favorite haunt in St James's under Corbin & King's direction.

If ever a film was ahead of its time, it was British director Michael Powell's Peeping Tom. It came out in 1960, a year in which cinema-goers were more accustomed to a diet of endless war films, romantic melodramas, and - from America - John Wayne westerns. And so a film based on a serial killer who filmed the terror of his victims in their last moments as he stabbed them repeatedly with a blade not revealed in his camera tripod was always going to be difficult to watch.

Here are 100 films that I believe every person should see at least once in their lifetime, and all of them should make you laugh, cry, gasp, or think. In some instances, perhaps all four are present. I hope my list would bring you some good cinematic treats, or better still, introduce you to them. Happy viewing!

PATRICK MARMION: What a poignant and arresting new play they've brought into the National Theatre. The Confessions by London writer and director Alexander Zeldin is a fan of the common woman. It is based on his mother's account of her life, beginning in Australia and ending in London. Alice is portrayed here as an ordinary woman growing up in a post-war suburbia. In London, she flunks university, marries sweet but dull Graham, gets hurt by a professor who teaches art history, and ends up alone in London, where she encounters Jacob, a bashful Holocaust survivor. In certain respects, the everyday epic is a very traditional representation of the postwar period, charting sexual revolution and counter-revolution.

Biden jetted to Vietnam on Sunday to strengthen the country's diplomatic relations and concluded the day with a press conference after two days in India for the G20 Leaders' Summit.

He regaled journalists with a tale that he says comes from a John Wayne film and includes the 'Indians' - not the ones he met with - who wouldn't buy it when a Union soldier says, 'everything will be fine if they return to the reservation.' 'He looks at John Wayne and praises him for his service as well as the fact that he is a lying dog faced pony soldier,' the Indian says of him.'

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: The people of Canada, as Race Across The World (BBC), has a long tradition of giving generous to others. No kindness is too much for complete strangers.
