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!!
Possibly 5 times ET Maybe 5 times Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Bits of films many, many times (often falling asleep in the meantime) Frozen Jungle Book Sleeping Beauty Beauty and the Beast Moana Harry Potter (Various) Finding Nemo / Dory Tangled Aladdin Happy Feet Lion King The BFG Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and too many more to mention!
DGC have a greater predilection for multiple watching than I do!!
All the Disney films with grandchildren To Sir with Love - Sidney Poitiet - my absolute favourite I love him. Ditto In the Heat of the Night The early Harry Potters don’t seem to have repeated the new ones so much Arthur Christmas It’s a Dogs Life Both of these again with grandchildren- the dog one makes me cry can recommend it
How could I have left off Shawshank Redemption?! Thanks oldgaijin
And not a film but a box set series - ‘only’ watched them all twice but I jpknow I’m due to watch it all again soon as it’s my absolute favourite - ‘The Sopranos’. Anyone else love it?
Oh Blue Hawaii callgirl . I had a friend who was obsessed with Elvis. I went with her to see Blue Hawaii. In the scene where he got married, my friend stood up and shouted at the actress playing his wife, 'take your bleedin' hands off him'. I was so embarrassed
Casablanca. Any film with Fred Astaire dancing. Laurel and Hardy films. Now Voyager (wonderful Bette Davis) Anything with Cary Grant. The African Queen. Death in Venice. (marvellous Dirk Bogarde) All the old musicals like Carousel and Oklahoma. Oliver. A Star is Born. (the old Judy Garland one and the Barbra Streisand one). Cabaret. ( Fantastic Liza Minnelli) The Graduate. Titanic. (the Kate Winslet one) Cast Away (with Tom Hanks.) Mr.Bean's Holiday (always makes me laugh.)
Casablanca Shining Through Out of Africa Indochine Monsieur Hulot - all Calamity Jane.....oh, I so wanted that Palomino and the fringy suit outfit Imitation of Life Bridges of Madison County An Affair to Remember
Thank you Kalu for reminding me, don`t know how I forgot, I can`t remember how many times I`ve seen Imitation of Life, the greatest tear jerker ever! Dark Victory coming a close second
