What are your 10 favourite movies

Paperbackwriter

I do't really have favourites as such, probably because once I've seen them I don't really choose to see them again. But I loved Help!, The Knack, A Taste of Honey, Le Weekend, and (because of a lifetime crush on Marianne Faithfull, the atrocious but somehow compelling Girl on a Motorcycle.

The one I DO watch most Christmases is The Great Escape. One day Steve will make it over that wire..

Apart from Last of the Mohicans I’ve found that the more I love a film the less likely I am to watch it again. I’ll watch a dvd several times if I’ve enjoyed the film but think I’ve missed something important. I’ve never rewatched Pans Labyrinth even though I still think it’s one of the best films I’ve ever seen.
