Your best film ever?

Yes loved it and still enjoy the soundtrack.

The original West Side Story, Last of the Mohicans, Dances with Wolves and The English Patient.

Ilovecheese

It's a toughie but I think Gladiator.
For real oldies, All About Eve.

Agree Gladiator, or possibly Shawshank.

Blade Runner (but anything with Harrison Ford, really).

Someone said Death in Venice - I can remember so many scenes in that film and it must be 50 years since I saw it - I even remember where I saw it and with whom. And the music was fantastic too.

"The Ipcress File' which I saw when it came out in the 60's. I never tire of watching it and especially love the them tune. I played it continually on my 'Dansette' record player, driving my family crazy. I can never remember who the 'baddy' is so the ending remains a surprise... 'Harry Palmer' was so refreshingly different from 'James Bond", whom I never liked although Sean was much more 'my type' physically than Micheal. Oh...and I loved the fact that Harry Palmer could cook and immediately set out to find a man who could, which I did the following year...and..."Reader, I married him". Over half a century later, he still does most of the cooking...

Out of Africa made such an impression on me at the time it was released and still consider it a film I woukd watch over and over. Story, acting and music, memorable

Don't think these 3 have been mentioned up until now! The color purple, I know almost every line and cry buckets from start to finish. Big fish with Ewan McGregor and a more recent one with a great cast and souud track - Belfast

The Year of Living Dangerously

The Twilight Samurai

The original Italian Job and Kind Hearts and Coronets =

My favourites are
Ryan’s Daughter
Seabiscuit
The Greatest Showman

Booby prize to La La Land!

AreWeThereYet

The Mission. For the music, the scenery, an actual story, Robert de Niro, Jeremy Irons, and a very young Liam Neeson. But an ending to make you weep.

Strangely I've never met anyone else who has seen it.

I loved it too - even requested DVD of it as a gift a few years ago.

The Rocky Horror Piture Show (although it's second best to the stage show!)

My favourites are varied and many, I really loved Camelot with Richard Harris, the music was lovely. Also The World according to Garp, a wonderful Robin Williams early film.
Has anyone seen The Dollmaker, with Jane Fonda? It made me weep so much, such a really moving story. I would recommend it to anyone.

When I was a child my favourite film was Korda’s The Jungle Book starring Sabu. I still love everything about it.

It’s on utube! That’s me done for the day, then!

Another vote for Last of the Mohicans - the cinematography, beautiful music, action sequences etc but mainly for Daniel Day-Lewis! Also one not mentioned so far, LA Confidential - Russel Crowe's breakthrough role and a fabulous film.

Should have won best soundtrack but didn’t. I can watch it over and over again.

For Brad Pitt fans you can't beat Meet Joe Black! Also my fave Xmas film is always Last Christmas with lots of George Michael songs, bit of a weepy but worth it! Emma Thompson is so funny in it.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Jane Austen etiquette, manners, humour, and loping heads off zombies. What more do you want from a film

Boat Trip. A man upsets his travel agent and, instead of a male/female singles cruise he gets booked onto a gay cruise. I'd watch this over and over just to see Roger Moore playing a gay SAS officer who, with his team, help to save the day. He plays it totally straight (no pun intended).

Rat Race. So many big names in this film. Whoopi Goldberg, Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese and many more. A glorious farce. Hysterically funny.

Loved The Mission and so did my husband. Gabriel’s Oboe was one of the musical items at my husband’s funeral last year.

The first film my husband took me to see was The Sound of Music . It's still my favourite followed closely by Mamma Mia.

Another vote for Last of the Mohicans - the cinematography, beautiful music, action sequences etc but mainly for Daniel Day-Lewis! Also one not mentioned so far, LA Confidential - Russel Crowe's breakthrough role and a fabulous film.

For me it would probably be one of these:

Pharlap (true story), makes me cry every time.

Dances with Wolves another that makes me cry every item I watch it.

The Field of Dreams and another that makes me cry..

I can see a theme going through here ?

And finally LeMans 66. And yes surprisingly, I cry at that one too.

Come to think of it I don’t think there’s many films that I don’t cry over ??

The Green Mile.

When I was a child my favourite film was Korda’s The Jungle Book starring Sabu. I still love everything about it.

It's hard to name one film, but if I had to it would be "Death in Venice" with the wonderful Dirk Bogard.

This is my absolute favourite film. So moving and with the fantastic Mahler music playing throughout.

Sorry I meant Robin Williams
