So many of my favourites have already been mentioned so I will just add 2 more that have not already been mentioned. In the Heat of the Night starring Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger and on a lighter note The Court Jester starring Danny Kaye, Glynis Johns and Angela Lansbury. Anyone remember the Vessel with the Pestle, the Chalice from the Palace And the Flagon with the Dragon?

Oh, I must add one more, please.

What's Up, Doc?

Thoroughly Modern Millie

Keeping Mum

Where Eagles Dare

That's a great film, Chestnut

Terence Stamp was so dashing!

I have so many but Some Like It Hot is near the top. I also like Night of the Hunter, the only film directed by Charles Laughton, Gone With the Wind, Get Carter, The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa, East is East, and many more.

One movie? It would have to be Far From the Madding Crowd.
Romance in the sweeping Dorset countryside.
Alan Bates as trusty, honest, reliable Gabriel Oak
Terence Stamp as twinkling, dashing, handsome Sgt Troy.
I could watch it over and over.

Truly Madly Deeply with Juliet Stevenson. The first time I watched it I literally SOBBED. Never been so affected by a film before or since.?

I love watching all of the Back to the future films and also The Full Monty.

The Water Horse and The Notebook

One of my most favourite films is The Railway Children. I have lost count of how many times i have watched this film, just love it.
Also really enjoy Goodnight Mr Tom, plus Scrooge and the Bishops Wife at Christmas.

Snatch (a Guy Ritchie film, starring Brad Pitt)
Stella Dallas (Barbara Stanwyk, an old black and white film)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Casino
Goodfellas
Big (Tom Hanks)
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Schindler's List
Ghost
Hang 'em High

Coolgran

Hate to rain on your parade, but it wasn’t Diane Keaton in Bridges of MC, it was Meryl Streep.
I thought she was miscast, Francesca in the book didn’t look like her, much prettier and not so frumpy.
And Clint, gorgeous as he is, was a bit old for the part. But seeing as it was his production, he directed it I imagine, well, if you want to bag the starring role.....

I enjoyed the film and the book, in spite of my gripes!

Bridges of Madison County for me too Coolgran65.
I loved the book more. Read it in a weekend and I was totally enthralled. A while ago now though when I still had hormones rampaging through me ?

Field of Dreams, Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan and Ray Liotta.
"If you build it, he will come".
It has everything, makes you laugh and weep in equal measures.

Pirates of the Caribbean (Curse of the Black Pearl), just because Jonny Depp is so funny and I also love Claus Badelt's music.

Godfather 1 and 2
Barry Lyndon A not very well known Stanley Kubrick film, adapted from a lesser known book by William Makepeace Thackery
The English Patient
Ryan's Daughter
Doctor Zhivago
Franco Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet" takes me back to my school days
Saturday Night Fever (when I first saw it)
Strictly Ballroom
Gone With The Wind
dare I say it even…... The Sound of Music, I loved it when I first saw it aged about 11
The French films Jean de Florette and it's sequel Manon de Sources
Lately" The Irishman", Martin Scorsese at his best but also really liked "The Gangs of New York" when it came out.

To name but a few!

And how could I have forgotten Django Unchained

Twelve Angry Men. I saw that when I was about 12 and was fascinated by it

The Angry Silence. Similar age when I saw that. I was shocked by how John Mills was treated.

Rabbit-Proof Fence

Also a fan of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

James Dean's 3 films. Rebel Without a Cause. East of Eden and Giant

So many to choose from!

Oh and I loved Convoy when I watched it as a teenager

Out of Africa beautifully shot and acted. A reminder of a fabulous holiday.
