Calamity Jane

But it will change when others come to mind.

Loads more mentioned that I love.
Gran Torino, Marigold Hotel, Little Shop of Horrors, Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption.

The Hateful Eight was fabulous. I recommend it to the die hard Tarantino fan with a strong stomach. Yes Tegan it was very long and slow burning. You needed to concentrate on the dialogue, like with Reservoir Dogs, which DH found a bit of a chore, he likes an action movie. I found it very funny and most of the full cinema was laughing along with me. You can't go wrong with Samuel L Jackson, Kurt Russell and Tim Roth.

So many great films,
I would have to say

Brief Encounter
Wuthering Heights( Ralph Fiennes)
Casablanca
Brave
Highlander

Last of the Mohicans
Notorious
Prince of Tides
The Way we Were
Galaxy Quest

Oh, must have a 6th - Out of Africa

Gosh it's hard to do a top 5!

I like
Lawrence of Arabia
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The Wrong Box (Pete and Dud - much missed !)
Bambi
The Cruel Sea

Random Harvest
Love Actually
ET
Forrest Gump
Oklohoma
They are all soppy but happy

It's A Wonderful Life
The Third Man
The Godfather I and II
Some Like It Hot
Pulp Fiction

Why have I never "got" Citizen Kane? It always tops the critics' lists. I'll try it again next time it's on telly.

I forgot The Devil Wears Prada

Today mine are (but may change tomorrow):

Jean de Florette
Dr Zhivago (With Julie Christie and Omar of course)
Pride and Prejudice
Out of Africa
Gone with the Wind

Too difficult, so many films. My favourite films to iron too are:-
Dirty Dancing
Mamma Mia
Pretty Woman
High Society
Sister Act

Ooh, I forgot Shirley Valentine!

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Some Like It Hot

Oliver!

Forrest Gump

Cabaret

Foul Play (however many times I watch it it always makes me laugh)
Starman
West Side Story
Shawshank Redemption
The Devil's Advocate

I have DVD's of these apart from Shawshank Redemption which is on TV so many times I don't need the DVD.

My top films change with my mood but thinking today:
The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (Ingrid Bergman)
Sleepless in Seattle
Brief Encounter
South Pacific
Dirty Dancing
I've watched these over again and never get tired of them!

I've never been able to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" - boring. "Budapest Hotel"- worst of all time. "Love Actually" - can't really understand why everyone likes it so much.Never seen "Braveheart" or "Shawshank Redemption" - I go to the pictures every week, sometimes twice and I've been known to go three times. I don't think Ive got five favourites - only ones I've loved or liked or others that have bored me. Maybe I go too often, am too critical, but I love the cinema more than theatre although "The Lady in the Van" was so much better in the theatre and Alan Bennett appeared as one of himself but they showed almost all the funny parts of the film in the trailer which one saw very often! I still love "The Sound of Music" and watch it most times I can!! But five favourites, I cannot say!!

Possibly "Bruef Encounter" is right up there and if they ever attempt a new version, I wouldn't go and see it - it is as near perfection as you can get!

So glad someone else doesn't like Wonderful Life, I thought there must be something wrong with me

Harvey
sound of music
it's a wonderful life
star wars
angels share

Bridges of Madison County
Where Eagles Dare (I’ve seen it so many times but still love it)
Man for All Seasons
Ryan’s Daughter
Forrest Gump

Breakfast at Tiffany's
Parenthood
The Green Mile
High Society
Boyhood

Oooh, and Oliver!

Love Story
Baby Boom
Waterworld
On Golden Pond
Don't Eat the Daisies

Today my list of 5 is:-

Bringing up Baby
Fargo
Out of Africa
Lawrence of Arabia
Bull Durham

I could probably name 5 a day for the next month, so many brilliant ones.

I change my mind quite often, but at the moment the list would be:

Dr Zhivago (Omar Sharif)
Any Fred and Ginger films
Gone with the wind
Some like it hot
Schindler's list

It's quite hard to restrict it to such a small number.
