That still entertains you.

A friend from way back in my misspent youth has shared this on facebook. Without hesitation, my first choice was The Boat That Rocked which brings back happy memories of revising for exams on Ventnor beach listening to Radio London on my little transistor radio.

I scrolled down through the comments and saw that she'd named the same film!!

Happy Days.

How about you?

Merlotgran I remember being taught about Gladys Aylward at the Missionary Sunday school.

I would have liked her to have been on the back of the new £20 note.

7 brides.
The parent Trap- a combination of both versions.
I’ve watched quite a few films more than once but not many more than 3 times. All happy ones.
The most modern film that I’ve watched more than once is Vanishing figures, about the space race and the part that black women played. Excellent. Also happy.

Crikey! FIVE times? I can only think of one favourite that I've watched more than once: The Commitments.

I have it on DVD and VHS so I could watch it again if I wanted!

Erin Brockovitch
Manchester by the Sea
Amour (French with subtitles) my favourite of all time
Blue Jasmine
Calvary
Open Water (based on a true story)
House of Mirth
Winter’s Bone

This made me smile as at first I didn’t think I’d have more than a couple! I could watch any of these right now.

Grandma70 I’m so pleased to see Brief Encounter here. I love watching it on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

I love the posh, very British accents for the main stars and the lower class screeching from the cafe attendants.

Good old British Cinema. ?
