\t\t\t\tDid you know, a Clock Tower<\/a> and a Bell Tower<\/a> are considered two different kinds of towers by the highly reliable source for settling petty and pointless arguments, Wikipedia? For that reason, you won’t find Vertigo (HU DVD 14<\/a>) on this list. But in any case, it’s TIME (get it??) to enjoy Five Films Featuring…Clock Towers!<\/p>\n

1. The Hudsucker Proxy (HU DVD 1054<\/a>)<\/h4>\n

Coen brothers. Clock tower. Excellent fonts.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

2. The Great Mouse Detective (HU DVD 13262<\/a>)<\/h4>\n

If this Big Ben chase scene (at approximately this VHS quality) is not a part of your childhood, I feel sad for you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Safety Last (HU DVD 8483<\/a>)<\/h4>\n

I have been informed that this is not in fact a scene on a clock tower, but is merely a clock ON a tower so I might as well have included Vertigo, but I’m still in favor of highlighting this iconic scene from Safety Last.<\/p>\n

4. Hook (HU DVD 8785<\/a>)<\/h4>\n

As you can see, this movie features a…kind of…clock tower. (I mean it’s obviously the coolest clock tower on this list, even if it is a crocodile.)<\/p>\n

And, because you know I can’t help myself, we have number five:<\/p>\n

5. Back To The Future (HU DVD 7840<\/a>)<\/h4>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Because obvious.<\/div>\n
