5 Tamara Drewe

4 Pinocchio
The Disney classic hasn’t aged well, and the plot is at times laughably absurd (as discussed in my recent Disney weekend review) but this is still a classic. The nose scene needs little explanation, with the magically sentient marionette’s facial protuberance increasing in length whenever he utters a fib, but the fact that it is such a small part of the film, yet it has become such a large part of pop culture, being references heavily in the Shrek franchise among others, is a testament to the creativity on display.
3 Cyrano de Bergerac
Another recently reviewed film, this sees Gerard Depardieu as the eloquent, intelligent, romantic poet forced to hide behind the dashing good looks of a soldier in his guard, due to Cyrano’s overly-efficient smelling device. Depardieu was born for the role, and the dialogue is nothing short of marvellous.
2 Roxanne
I’m probably going to receive some flak for this, but I prefer the Steve Martin remake over the aforementioned Gerard Depardieu original, above. Martin is a genius, who I’ve been lucky enough to see live (granted at a banjo-playing gig rather than stand-up, but still) and though he may have slummed it in recent years with sub-par pictures, some of his earlier works (Parenthood, The Jerk, Little Shop of Horrors) are nothing short of genius. The scene in the bar, where Martin’s nasally abundant firefighter reels off twenty five insults for himself that a dimbulb patron should have used, is a wonderful showcase of his comic ability, even if it is lifted directly from the original.
1 Chinatown
Roman Polanski’s detective masterpiece is an example of near perfect cinema, not least due to Jack Nicholson’s gumshoe J. J. Gittes nose being broken when he sticks it in a little too far into a scandal involving the L.A. water supply. As ever, Nicholson is a delight, and John Huston won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar as the dastardly vile Noah Cross, but Polanski direction (he cameos as the goon responsible for Gittes’ impromptu nose job) and Robert Towne’s Oscar-winning screenplay are the real stars on display.
Penelope – Christina Ricci finds it difficult to discover true love, mainly because she has a pig’s snout for a nose.
Any Muppet film – Gonzo! The most lovable creature with an umbrella handle sticking out of his face. Most notable performance? Only Charles Dickens in the Muppet Christmas Carol.

Funny list. Thanks. Check out Sleeper sometime. Woody Allen ends up in the future and there is a plot to try to clone someone from the one remaining body part – his nose.
Forgot all about Sleeper! Good call. There's so many ideas in that film I forgot about the nose cloning. It's on the 1001 List, so I'll keep an eye out when I get round to it.
