You must remember the times. Things were different back then and people weren't so thin skinned about this stuff. Mickey Rooney's role in Breakfast at Tiffany's is another example in this wheelhouse.

Heck, eighty years ago, blackface was still very common. It was even occasionally used up to thirty years ago:

I thought I'd keep it to just the top 10, but break it up highlighting the ones that so far have been missed altogether. Also, these are my favourites, I'm not trying to rate them on technical merit, the best acting/ directing or story in general.

The ones no-one else seems to mention are:
Dr Who & the Silurians
Planet of Evil

Ones that commonly feature with other opinions:
The Deadly Assassin
Horror of Fang Rock
Pyramids of Mars

Ones that less commonly feature in others' lists but still make my top 10:
The Invasion
The Green Death
The Visitation
The Seeds of Doom
State of Decay

My Top twenty classic stories would be:

1. City of Death
2. The War Games
3. Inferno
4. Remembrance of the Daleks
5. The Daleks' Master Plan
6. The Seeds of Doom
7. Terror of the Zygons
8. Doctor Who and the Silurians
9. Horror of Fang Rock
10. The Five Doctors
11. Enlightenment
12. The Talons of Weng-Chiang
13. The Myth Makers
14. Genesis of the Daleks
15. Spearhead from Space
16. The Power of the Daleks
17. The Enemy of the World
18. The Happiness Patrol
19. Planet of Evil
20. The Aztecs

It'll be a completely different list next week for me. That's what I love about Doctor Who. There are just too many good stories to have a top twenty IMO.
