What's your favourite film?

DH and I took GS to see Sean the Sheep yesterday. GS and I thought it was very funny but Grandad was not that impressed and he's the big Sean the Sheep fan.

I went to see shaun the sheep on Sunday with my friend and her GD.It was very funny in parts, and it warmed my heart to hear all the young children in the cinema gurgling and laughing.

In no particular order:

Witness
Narrow Margin
Kes
Railway Children
Jagged Edge
Basic Instinct
Fatal Attraction
Where Eagles Dare
Casablanca
American Graffiti
That’ll be the Day
Dirty Dancing
The Graduate
Deliverance
Dances With Wolves
A Time to Kill
Inherit the Wind
Gorillas in the Mist
Marathon Man
Thirteen Days
Officer and a Gentleman
No Way Out
Educating Rita
Mash
Killing Fields
Get Carter
The Name of the Rose
Dambusters
Shawshank Redemption

To name but a few.

Can never reply to 'what is your favourite anything' actuallyl.

Quite a long list,

Shirley Valentine
A taste of honey (first film I ever saw in English)
The Graduate
La Haine
Germinal
Manon des Sources

and the typical chick flicks with humour

Notting Hill and even the soppy Love Actually

Favourite family films
Heaven can wait
Amadeus
Manon des Sources

and many more.

It must be clingfilm, judging by the number of times I've seen it.

The Theory of Everything. Magnificent acting !

Shaun the Sheep has had rave reviews hasn't it. No dialogue I believe ....

Saw Into the Woods last weekend with granddaughters. Thought it very good and interesting to see the twists that turn fairytales into real life. However, it is also a big stagey which means you could wait and watch it on telly.

Same GD's are taking me to see Shaun the Sheep this weekend. Can't wait.

My very best favourites

Casablanca

Gone with the Wind

Brief Encounter

Now Voyager

All this and Heaven too

And Master and Commander!

My all time favourite film is Billy Elliot. So powerful!

By the title I thought this film was going to be rubbish.
But no! I thought it was great and gripping

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle

The Sixth Sense
Starman
Driving Miss Daisy
Falling in Love
Tokyo Story
Brief Encounter
Once Around
The Age of Innocence
Notting Hill
The Shop on the Corner

Ten isn't enough really, is it. I could think of loads more, including Grease, Marnie, The Painted Veil, Rebecca ..............................

What's Up Doc?, Keeping Mum, Where Eagles Dare, Sergeant Bilko, St Trinian's (the 4 original ones), When Harry Met Sally, Thoroughly Modern Millie. Not in any particular order, but these are all films which, when I finish watching them, I want to start again.

The Lion in Winter; the Hepburn O'Toole one, not the one with Patrick Stewart and Glenn Close. Wonderful film, wonderful sound track by John Barry. Treated myself to a DVD of it this Christmas.

I also want to change the ending of those two Oldgreymare

Another one here who just doesn't get all the fuss about I'ts a Wonderful Life. Too cheesy for me.

The magnificent seven I saw it 5 times

The Hunt for Red October has to be my top choice followed by any of the Ice Age or Shrek films.

This is a recycled thread and someone called annobel has already said it all for me!

The Bridges of Madison County.... but I do so want to change the ending!
Out of Africa...... ditto
More recently:
Quartet
Pride
lots more really, but will stop at that.

True Grit is my favourite film. I love both the original and the remake. Master and Commander runs a close second.

I watched Zulu, for the first time, last week. I knew the film covered an episode during which a small number of Brits held off a large number of Zulu's and always avoided watching it because I felt it may offend my sensibilities.

I was gripped and terrified in equal measure. I still feel uncomfortable about reluctantly admiring the heroism of the small band of Welsh fusileers whilst identifying with the anger of the Zulu's. Complex or what? No doubt that's why it's still shown on the movie channels.

The alternative option that evening was The Outlaw Josie Wales which I wished I'd watched, again!

Pompa husband and I thoroughly enjoyed that film too.

Crimson/SJP.....has to be Carry on Cleo, legion marching to 'sinister, dexter, sinister,dexter' and Sid James lusting after Cleopatra with sighs of 'puer, oh puer, oh puer' !

Hard to say but I do know what won't make my "top ten" list- that "favourite" of the festive season It's a Wonderful World which I saw for the first time on TV this year. Wooden acting, cliched characters, stilted dialogue and a sketchy plot line at best- why on earth do people rave about it?
