So many choices but a couple of faves would have to be Withnail and I and Touching the Void.
Could go on for ever with this one .....

Got a few I like but Road to Perdition is my favourite movie, not into this type usually but somehow this seems different.
Hoodwinked aswell, funny take on little red riding hood. Silly but good

Yep me frustrated too as raining again and am on annual leave; poor camera thinks I've disowned it
Anyhoo, I have lots of faves according to mood at the time, however, the stunning Lord of the Rings trilogy is always always top of my list. Hmmm may watch it this week if weather continues

Well let me see two favourite movies  , I've got loads, all the scrooge/Christmas Carol movies - but no two I will have to choose.
Right here goes - The Quiet Man & Muppet Christmas Carol (the full version) always makes me chuckle.
Carol.

With me it varies, depending on mood (plus other factors), but at the moment it's Dr. Strangelove (Or How I learned To Stop Worrying, And Love The Bomb).
Anything in black and white, really.

39 Steps for its sheer class
Reservoir Dogs for its banter
Donnie Darko for its sound track |

I love The Good, The Bad and The Ugly too. But my all time favourite has to be Casablanca (yes, I know, a very boring and predictable choice!).
Of more recent movies, I have a real soft spot for Love Actually. |

There are too many but I always like to watch "Once upon a Time in America", mind you it's about three hours long but a great cast and brilliant acting. |

I really enjoy a comedy or a good epic. Liar liar with Jim carrey and meet the parents with Ben Stiller, I always laugh at them two over and over. Braveheart - fantastic film. I'm with Buzfuz on muppet christmas carol, it's so funny. I also like some horrors but not slasher movies, they bore me. A horror with a good storyline will do. I've just been to the cinema to watch the new scfi/horror "I am legend" with Will Smith. I thought it was a brilliant film, don't know if anyone else has seen it and I'm sure it's not everyones cup of tea but it was good.
Oh I must also add that I enjoy a good golden oldie (even though they were before my time ), "It's a wonderful life is one of them, a really heart warming film.

This was rather a tough one for me..I love a good comedy some of the carry on films still get me laughing everytime...But some of the old films including some Black/white ones are still the best..Loved Wuthering Heights with Laurence Olivier..the Good the bad and the ugly..Born free...still gets me in tears ..Spartacus which i caught abit of today..Oliver twist..then moving on to Heat with Al Pacino..Lord of the rings...Born supremacy...like many the list could continue for quite some time...

for me has to be Highlander ,only because i appear in the tavern scene ,i'm the one in the bottom right hand corner with a feather in my hat.Because it's a true story Touching The Void is amazing!!. the best comedy has to be Vertical Limit,from a climber's point of view, and Rob Roy as it's more factual than Braveheart

Brief Encounter (yes that very old b/w movie with Trevor Howard!) is my all-time fav. An unrequited love-story full of middle class England's taboos and hang-ups of the period, still so very atmospheric after all these years. Timeless. If I could take just one film, this is the one I'd take on that desert island with me.
Plus, these are up there on the top of my watch "again and again" list: Jaws (I) I am in awe at the sheer genius of Spielberg, not his special effects so much (especially in retrospect ) but his tension building, directing, perfect editing.... Jurassic Park (I) For all the reasons listed above, plus I like dinosaurs! The Jungle Book (Walt Disney's 60's cartoon) In many ways, the animals have been depicted with such attention to detail to the real thing. Look at the way Bagheera moves, the weight in Kaa's coils as he slithers around the trees...Plus! I adore the songs! Get with the beat!!! The LOTR trilogy *All* of them are sheer brilliance and by and large amazingly in keeping with the god and creator of middle earth's own depiction of the story, i.e. the genius that is Tolkien. A Wonderful Life. Old b/w weepie with a moral tale. Really needs no introduction it's so well known and loved, but it's that sort of movie that people generally forget until someone else mentions it and then they often pipe up with "oh yes! I love that one!"
Others worthy of note:
The Wickerman (the original version!), Excalibur, Schindler's list, Gladiator, Anne of the Thousand Days, Macbeth (Polanski's.)
I'll best shut-up and go watch a film now, methinks.

I like Chicken Run. Have seen about 5 times Also Wiz of Oz although maybe have seen too often. Badlands because the countryside photography, with sound track including Satie is beautiful although nasty things happen in the film. Also Apocalypse Now, and Danny Boyle films. I'm beginning to enjoy Almodovar and other foreign films too because they are a change from Hollywood. |
