Your best film ever?

Depends on my mood.

Tom Jones
Some Like It Hot
The Gay Divorce (or almost any other Fred and Ginger)

Dr Zhivago. The original film from 1965 with Omar Sharif and Julie Christie.

So many out there, but if I could only have one it would have to be The Godfather.

I’ve seen The Mission. I chose the music for DH’s funeral. Best film ever? ‘Rebecca’. Larry Olivier and Joan Fontaine. Priceless! And ‘A Bridge Too Far’. Best casting of a film I’ve ever seen.

Love Actually- Just a great light hearted romp
Shadowlands -Sad but beautiful
As Good As I Gets- Very moving
Untouchable- French film..totally feel good and some funny bits

Oh LauraNorderr that is one of my favourites! But I think my all time favourite is Steel Magnolias. All about strong women and the bonds of friendship.

Local Hero is another favourite of mine, probably more suitable for a mass gathering too as it's funny and a bit less violent than the Mission ?

Yammy Yayyyyy... finally found someone else who has seen The Mission.

I could watch Local Hero again and again. My favourite beach in the West Highlands, Scottish humour, Scottish characters, a great part for Denis Lawson and an intervention by Burt Lancaster. What's not to love?

LauraNorderr
Mayerling ?

My absolute favourite has to be Braveheart and I love the music in that film as well.. always end up crying ?

halfpint1 no not referring to your choice at all sorry you thought that. I meant to say (posted too soon) there's no such thing as trendy film choice simply because some of them are timeless.

Shutter Island , never tire of realising how they lead you to the end twist without you working it out

Love shutter Island and really think Leonardo should’ve got an Oscar for that one, personally I thought it was better than The Revenant For which he did get an Oscar..

Oooh, yes, grannydarkhair!

Or, would love to see WITNESS again with it's gorgeous barn-raising sequence and fabulous soundtrack by Maurice Jarre.

Pulp Fiction is my all time favourite. I love Tarrantinto films, although they’re a little violent.

Yes. PULP FICTION.

Cinema Paradiso is good

Either Les Visiteurs with the wonderful Jean Reno or Delicatessen with the equally wonderful Dominique Piñon. Both are very funny, and not widely known. Neither are actually my favourite film but Goodfellas (my all time fav) is fairly violent in parts so not suitable for a mixed age audience.

If it would be to watch with other people I think maybe Elf in December!

The three Godfathers.

I do like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers for the music. But there are a few musicals “singing in the rain” “cabaret” “Chicago”

Really there are so many that it is difficult to choose.

Forgot Dances with Wolves and The Bodyguard. Love Kevin Costner and Whitney of course

Top Gun for romance, action and great sound track. Moulin Rouge, only for the sound track.
Pretty Woman and Notting Hill for romance and light comedy.
Past favourites Dr Zhigavo for Omar Sharifs beautiful eyes, Far from the Madding Crowd for a great story, the first version with Julie Christie and Peter Finch, and I watched Mayerling at least ten times because I wanted to be Catherine Deneuve, she was beautiful.
Please invite us all Maw when you decide.

Three of my favourites here - Some Like it Hot ( best last line in any film), The Mission ( best music in any film) and Toy Story ( best family film) : maybe a multiplex showing?

Tinker Tailor (the later one with Gary Oldman).

Trendy film choice don't think so.

The question was “What is Your best film ever-“not “”What do you think of somebody else’s choice”
