The films you love and will never forget

I agree about 'Love Story'! completely shattering!

'Alice' this wretched kindle has a mind of its own, grrrr!!.

Oh you've reminded me of so many others!!!!

Brief Encounter, A town like Alicia, A tale of two cities. The wind cannot read. ( gorgeous Dirk Bogarde!!)

How could I have forgotten about the lovely weepie Goodbye Mr Chips, starring Robert Donat and Greer Garson, such a lovely film, much better than the later remake.

It’s a Wonderful Life
My Fair Lady
On Golden Pond
Gregory’s Girl
Shirley Valentine.

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe

I've watched it maybe 20 times and I can't put my finger on exactly why I love it so much, I just do!

It's Love Story with Ryan O'Neill.
I saw it about 1972 in Liverpool when on my first ever weekend away. I was with my soon-to-be-husband. It was a very emotional film and the lady beside me was also emotional. I could hold the tears back no longer and with them came the gulps and sobs. She was crying also and had her arms around me. I think the two men didn't know what to do with themselves.
Even when it was over and as we left through the foyer I was still sobbing and tears dripping off my chin.

It’s a wonderful life, The way we were and any musical but especially West Side Story and South Pacific

The music was good though ?!

Singing in the Rain, Gigi, High Society, Seven brides for seven brothers, Four weddings and a funeral.

I am the odd one out on Brief Encounter, I think it is one of the silliest films I have ever had to watch.

On Golden Pond
Ice Cold in Alex

It’s got to be Cry Freedom for me

Whistle Down the Wind
A Town Like Alice
Brief Encounter

Thank you Chewbacca, but it`s the old black and white film I want to see again.

The Bishops Wife ,with Cary Grant,David Niven and Loretta Young ,its my christmas favourite the remake with Denzil Washinton and Whitney Houston was dire.
Also up there are Guess Who's Coming To Dinner ,Spencer Tracy ,Katherine hepburn and Sidney Poitier ,fabulous film and Spencer Tracy's last speech in it always makes me cry
One I watch over and over agin ,and read the book is To Kill A Mockingbird with the fantastic Gregory Peck .I love old films ,not keen on stuff with loads of special effects that cover up bad acting .I used to collect videos of B/W films and donated them to an Old Peoples home in the early 2000's .I hear they were a great success .

Papillon.
The Graduate.

My very favourite film of all time, and one I have loved since I was a child, was the 1937 version of The Prisoner of Zenda with Ronald Coleman and Douglas Fairbanks. I love a bit of swash and buckle! There was a later version with Stewart Grainger and David Niven. And then? “Rebecca”; and “A Bridge Too Far” for its absolutely brilliant casting.

In more recent times, my favourite film is Local Hero now closely followed by Sunshine on Leith.

They did a remake of Jonny Belinda in the 1980's callgirl. It has Rosanna Arquette and Richard Thomas in it. You can watch it via this YouTube link:

Brief Encounter is my all time favourite, but I also love Calendar Girls and Shirley Valentine

My favourite film of recent times is - When Harry Met Sally

I saw a film on TV many years ago, when I was a teenager, and it was an old film then, keep waiting for it to come on again, but no luck. It`s Johnny Belinda, starring a young Jane Wyman. I loved it. Does anyone else remember it?

The Philadelphia Story 1940. Cary Grant, James Stewart and Katharine Hepburn.
Re-titled as High Society - musical - in 1956
But I prefer the original for its witty screenplay and the well matched cast.

On the Beach and A town like Alice and no, I am not an Aussie. Also From here to Eternity with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr.
