Favourite film ever.

callgirl for Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner it is the incomparable combination of Hepburn and Tracey; Poitier was a bonus. ‘Heat of the Night’? Just a great, very powerful, film!

I'd like to add another tv film "Housewife 49" - I now have it on dvd and have watched it many times. It stars Victoria Wood and proves she was an amazing serious actress as well as a brilliant comedian

How could I have forgotten the one I`ve watched over and over on dvd, Neil Diamond in The Jazz Singer, love that film.

West Side Story
South Pacific
Shakespeare in Love
Carousel

I can't choose one though.

It is very rare that I want to watch a film more than once but I've watched all of the above three or four times and have seen West Side Story and South Pacific in the theatre too. I've enjoyed lots of other films but none as much - although I thoroughly enjoyed Paddington Bear 2 the other week.

Sidney Poitier Greyduster? (your reason I mean)

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner;
In The Heat of the Night.

Loved that Billy Connolly one two, can't pick a favourite but I enjoy the ones I used to watch with my children over and over so that might be why I liked them.
Enjoyed Hook, ET, Mary P, Sound of M etc

May I add a tv film?

I love Goodnight Mr Tom

I think The Champ starred Jon Voigt.

Rabbit Proof Fence the most moving film I ve eve4 seen

A couple of months ago I saw an old black and white film on tv called "Bang! You're Dead". It starred Jack Warner and was about a couple of young boys who had found a gun and, thinking it was only a toy, fired it and killed a man. The music to the film was sung by Edmund Hockridge. I think it was from the early 1950s. It was a brilliant film; one I'd never seen or heard of before. Has anyone else seen this, or remember it?

E.T
Forrest Gump
Toy Story
Gone With The Wind

Oh gosh there are so many greats:

Schindler's List
The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
Beaches
Ghost
Sister Act
Out Of Africa

But overall, I think if I had to choose just one favourite, it would have to be Life Is Beautiful. If you haven't seen this, please do try and watch it.

And yes, farview, I remember The Red Balloon, it was always a favourite when I was a child, just magical.

More recently, I would have to add What We Did On Our Holiday - Billy Connelly at his absolute best.

Another great weepie, The Champ, but can`t remember who the stars were.

White Christmas
Scrooge (Alistair Sim)
Pretty Woman
The Innocents (very scary)
Shakespeare in Love

This is so difficult! It's almost impossible to name a favourite. But if I absolutely HAD to I think the film that moves me every time is -
Death in Venice starring Dirk Bogard. The sadness, the music, the acting, the location.
I also love
Now Voyager starring Bette Davis.
Carousel with Gordon Macrae and Shirley Jones.
African Queen
Casablanca
Titanic... the one with Kate Winslet.
Cabaret with Liza Minelli...
All musicals really.

Strictly Ballroom
My Fair Lady
Calamity Jane.

Beaches with Bette Midler. High Society. White Christmas and dare I say it Mama Mia always cheers me up more for the music than the plot.

The Way We Were is my absolute favourite but I also love Singin' in the Rain and Calamity Jane and a few others. However we recently watched Goodbye Christopher Robin and it is creeping up as a close second to The Way We Were. It was wonderful.

Does anyone remember the film about the Red Balloon? loved it?

The Commitments

But there are loads in 2nd place.

One flew over the cuckoo's nest

The green mile

Some like it hot.
African Queen.
Casablanca.

To Kill A Mockingbird ,loved Gregory Pack in it
The Way We Were ,Sreisand and Redford when they were at their peak ..and the theme tune was terrific too

Absolutely the original Ben Hur with Charlton Heston for me .. I loved all the religious films' like The Robe and Quo Vadis, and will still watch them if I can.
Ben Hur has everything. Romance, adventure., history, the extraordinary chariot race . Wonderful.
