What's your favourite film?

The Notebook and Ghost are the name of my favorite films of all.

The Prisoner of Zenda (Douglas Fairbanks not Stewart Granger!);
Rebecca;
Philadelphia Story;
The Lion in Winter;
Mouse Hunt - totally silly and hilarious;
The Money Pit;
Dead Poets Society;
Remains of the Day;
any US cavalry film with John Wayne in it!

Parked. Co-starring the up-and-coming, talented and sweet looking little actor, Colin Morgan of Merlin fame.

The Empire of the Sun

Most David Lean films.

Woman in a dressing gown. 1957 a small low budget movie.
uk.imdb.com/title/tt0051204/

Who’s Afraid of Virgina Woolf.

A Matter of Life and Death , Powell and Presburger. (Very surreal.)

Oldmusicals of the 1930 and 1940s

In which we serve!
There is some thing irresistible about those War time propaganda movies with upper class British accents and stiff upper lips.

The African Queen Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn

Howards End 1992… Wonderful costumes etc. but yet more historic posh people. (Which was E M Forster’s actual message.
Brief Encounter. of course.

Suddenly last Summer. Katherine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift.
Some like it Hot.
And more if I had more time to think.

Hi bud - welcome. Good for you, putting up your profile - and I do like the look of your dog!

Nelliemoser what was A Matter of Life and Death , about

If nightowl is around Secretariat is on round Christmas [Boxing Day I think]. Not as good as Seabiscuit from what I've heard but still worth watching if you're a horse lover.

Get Rat on DVD. Stars Pete Postlethwaite and Imelda Staunton. An Irish made film about a man who slowly turns into a rat .Hilarious.

Love Actually - feel good film and I love the music, and the Fastest Indian with Anthony Hopkins (and a true story)

Oh crimson (know that's not your name now) I have only just seen your post to me on this thread. For a moment I got really excited then I saw the date and realised I had missed it! I shall have to get hold of it on DVD.

I wouldn't bother; it wasn't very good !

Driving Miss Daisy
The Sixth Sense
Falling in Love
Baghdad Cafe
Tokyo Story
Brief Encounter

Mine is LA VITA E BELLA, which can always touch me every time I watch it!

Never Let Me Go.It is so thought-provoking because it is not beyond the bounds of possibility.
Children are cloned and brought up in a special boarding school until they are adult and their internal organs can be used as transplants for "normal" people.The donors eventually die but there is the possibility for the others to live to be more than 100. A really scary film ! Not everyone's cup of tea but Carey Milligan and Keira Knightly are really good in it.

The book (Never Let Me Go)was good..never saw the film.

Have never read the book though I keep thinking I must.I have the audio version on my computer but can't seem to concentrate without having something to hold and look at.

The film was heartbreaking. I had no idea of the story before I watched it. I don't think I could cope with watching it again and I wouldn't lend it to anyone for the same reason [my daughter has never forgiven me for lending her 'The Road' to watch]. It was very thought provoking. I must be odd because I like films that leave me feeling numb.....

Life of Pi is now top of my list [yes; it even overtakes The Jungle Book!]. I so want it to win an Oscar on Sunday.

I agree with one or two people here - The Way We Were. When Barbra Streisand walks into the bar at the beginning of the film and sees Robert Redford sitting (drunk and half asleep) on a bar stool in his white naval uniform and says quietly to herself 'Hubbell Gardiner' remembering him from her younger days and they embark on a can't live with/can't live without each other romance is just too much to bear. Sorry, think I gor a bit carried away there!

Up to my mind I would say Thomas Crown, River Kwai, Dr. Schivago were good to be pointed out.

Once upon a time in the West,Sunset Blvd.,To kill a mockingbird,The Apartment,Cool hand Luke,The Graduate,Harvey,Now Voyager,Jezebel,The Shining,Good Will hunting. can't pick just one!
